ACC Power Rankings: Week 2

Power Ranking Thursday!

Week 1
  1. Virginia Tech (1-1, 0-0 ACC)
  2. Georgia Tech (2-0, 1-0)
  3. Miami (Fla.) (1-0, 1-0)
  4. Clemson (1-1, 0-1)
  5. North Carolina (2-0, 0-0)
  6. Boston College (2-0, 0-0)
  7. Florida State (1-1, 0-1)
  8. Wake Forest (1-1, 0-0)
  9. NC State (1-1, 0-0)
  10. Duke (1-1, 0-0)
  11. Maryland (1-1, 0-0)
  12. Virginia (0-2, 0-0)

Notes
  • No change in the top 4 this week.
  • Not particularly amused with Florida State's escape at home against Jacksonville State. While a W is a W, both North Carolina and Boston College beat better opponents in week 2 (and even UNC looked better doing it). UNC and BC are each up 1 spot this week while FSU falls to #7. We arguably also could have slipped Wake past FSU as well this week.
  • Duke's win over Army > Maryland's OT win vs. James Madison, so Maryland and Duke swap spots this week at #10 and #11.

This Week

Conference: Georgia Tech at Miami (Fla.) (tonight, ESPN) ... Boston College at Clemson

Non-Conference: Duke at Kansas ... East Carolina at North Carolina ... Nebraska at Virginia Tech ... Virginia at Southern Miss ... Middle Tennessee State at Maryland ... Gardner-Webb at North Carolina State ... Elon at Wake Forest ... Florida State at BYU

VTech loses to a very good (maybe great, but just maybe) Alabama and whoops a patsy, and you have them #1?

Clemson and Miami should be above VTech based on their ability to win against high quality competition.
