ACC Team of the Week : Pittsburgh – for a 38-34 win over West Virginia
17. Florida State (0-3)
Last Week: 17
Florida State strengthens their grip on dead last in the ACC with another loss. Memphis beat FSU 20-12. Now the schedule gets really tough as a feisty 3-0 Cal team comes to Doak.
16. Stanford (1-1)
Last Week: 16
Hard to tell where Stanford is really at, but they better bring their A game against Syracuse.
15. Wake Forest (1-2)
Last Week: 15
Wake Forest didn’t even looked they belonged on the same field as Ole Miss. Louisiana is next, and I fear this might as high as you’ll see the Deacs all year.
14. SMU (2-1)
Last Week: 13
I just can’t get out of my mind how bad SMU looked against Nevada and BYU. If they beat TCU though, they could start to turn things around.
13. Virginia (2-1)
Last Week: 11
Virginia simply ran out of gas against Maryland. Coastal Carolina is a dangerous game, and is a must if the Hoos want to think about a bowl game.
12. Virginia Tech (2-1)
Last Week: 14
Virginia Tech’s loss to Vanderbilt looks even worse as Vandy just lost to Georgia State. They have won 2 games since then. Beat Rutgers and we’ll believe things are turning around.
11. NC State (2-1)
Last Week: 12
NC State really hasn’t played consistently good football at any point this season. They struggled with Louisiana Tech and now get to go to Clemson.
10. Duke (3-0)
Last Week: 9
Duke shouldn’t have to work so hard to beat UCONN, but they are 3-0. Don’t slip up at Middle Tennessee State.
9. Georgia Tech (3-1)
Last Week : 10
Georgia Tech blasted VMI 59-7 as they should. A game at Louisville will test their shaky defense.
8. Syracuse (2-0)
Last week: 7
Syracuse has had a week to get ready for Stanford. Kyle McCord might put up video game numbers in that one.
7. Clemson (1-1)
Last Week: 6
Clemson drops through no fault of their own, but Pitt makes a major move. Also if you didn’t see Georgia struggle with Kentucky, then I’m not sold on Clemson yet. Take care of NC State comfortably and we’ll notice.
6. Pitt (3-0)
Last week: 8
You have to reward Pitt for another wild comeback. This time in a classic they defeated West Virginia 38-34. Youngstown St. should get Pitt to 4-0.
5. North Carolina (3-0)
Last Week: 5
North Carolina doesn’t look dominant, but they keep taking care of business. The game with NC Central was a bit more of a struggle than it should have been. James Madison is another chance to clean things up.
4. Louisville (2-0)
Last Week: 4
Louisville gets a massive step up in competition in Georgia Tech than what they’ve seen their first two games. We’ll know a lot more about Louisville after that game.
3. Boston College (2-1)
Last Week: 2
Boston College played right with a top-10 Missouri on the road in a 27-21 loss. 3-0 Michigan State will be another litmus test.
2. California (3-0)
Last Week: 3
Cal has gotten to 3-0 without Jayden Ott being healthy. Their defense is one of the ACC’s best, and now they head to FSU.
1. Miami (3-0)
Last Week: 1
Miami just keeps cruising blowing out Ball State. South Florida may provide a few challenges, but I expect Miami to keep marching right along.
