I can only assume it's a season long ranking based on how horrific they looked in weeks 1 and 2. lost to northern illinois who followed up the game with losses to an FCS school and a blowout loss to nebraska and then only a 3 point win over FCS Holy Cross. BC def looked like a completely different team this week though I'll give them credit there

BC and Syracuse both look like much tougher games now then they did pre-season imo.
Both have mobile QB's that are likely going to give our defense fits.
I think that ACC ranking is about right as of now. I think Clemson will ultimately end up in the top 3, though lets see what happens when they play a real team again, compared to their last 2 opponents.
The ACC has gotten off to a good start this season (still has 7 undefeated teams, only the PAC has more - 8), and I think alot of it has to do with there being alot of good QB's in the league right now.
I say only UVA (whose starting QB has been hurt and hasn't played yet I don't think) and VT look to have weak QB's and Pitt looks suspect as well. But every other ACC team right now in my eyes has an ACC starting caliber QB. That is likely going to lead to alot of competitive games as most teams have QB's that can keep them in a game.
If you asked me would I rather have the ACC QB's or the SEC's i'd take the ACC's every time. I think that is one reason the SEC has struggled more this season so far, their QB play is not as strong as it used to be.

Wasn't that long ago people were clamoring for "why can't we be more like Stanford?" Just goes to show that elite schools will have ebbs a flows.

Clemson too low, imho. Can't argue too much about the rest of that list

anything but a convincing win against virginia would be underachieving to me. this team looks terrible and might be one of the worst teams in the acc

You might want to let NCST know…

No doubt… just funny as you anointed UVA one of the worst, NCST said “hold my beer.”
I also believe We are better than a lot. Shame to avoid VT for the first time in years and it looks like NCST might be another unfortunate miss. Can’t gripe if we don’t take care of the likes of WF, BC, UVA and Cuse, though.

to be fair uva has been blown out by 2 p5 teams, lost to a FCS team and they just look like they were going through the motions tonight. i have a lot of terp family so i watched that game and i think they turned the ball over like 4 drives in a row or something it was ugly.
BC impressed me against fsu but idk if that was a case of getting hot one time or not. their qb may give us fits cause he looked fast as ****.
cuse may be a shootout cause idk if we can stop their offense

Terrible play calling at end.

Wide receiver screen call in OT seemed too cute when all you needed was a yard. If you’re going to gamble throw a sage route into the end zone and if you miss, run your best back (all ACC) for that yard.

Clempsoning in end of season form.
I was waffling back and forth as to who I wanted to see lose. But now Clempy is irrelevant so I'll take that consolation. Both voted against the expansion so screw both.
Go Ohio State and take ND out of the CFP please. They are ACC imposters.

VT and UVA seem to be clearly the bottom of the conference. Everyone else playing OOC seems to be taking care of business, although Cuse was looking rough for a half. Louisville may end up being one of the best ACC teams this season, they are blowing BC out.

Clempy at the bottom of the ACC too at 0-2. Gotta enjoy that. NC State not good only winning by 3 over UVa, but they won.
Duke and Miami taking care of business in blowouts.

In that situation you go for the first down on third, and fourth if you need it. That gets you 4 more chances for the score you have to get. I am not sure what Clem was thinking on that play call.
