As everyone predicted SMU vs Pitt will be to stay in the ACC title race
At the request of Syracuse Orange fans, we’re going to give you our ACC Football Power Rankings. Let’s get to this week’s list….
1) Miami Hurricanes (8-0, 4-0)- won the Florida P4 title and now they’ve got to watch out for the Manny Diaz Revenge Game
2) Clemson Tigers (6-1, 5-0)- trap game alert as Clemson hosts Louisville, but with a trip to Blacksburg looming next week, will they be focused on the Cardinals.
3) Pittsburgh Panthers (7-0, 3-0)- this week’s game with SMU is an ACCCG Eliminator Game. Yes you read that correctly
4) SMU Mustangs (7-1, 4-0)- survived at Duke and now they get the Narduzzi
5) Louisville Cardinals (6-3, 4-2)- that’s a big win at Boston College. Will they play spoiler at Clemson? Jim Phillips hopes not
6) Virginia Tech Hokies (5-3, 3-1) – bad news for Syracuse is that the Hokies seem to be playing better, but they are also only 2-2 on the road this season
7) Syracuse Orange (5-2, 2-2) – the good news for Syracuse is that every game the rest of the way will be on a Saturday where the Orange are 4-0
8) Duke Blue Devils (6-2, 2-2)- look it would be hilarious if Duke knocks off Miami and gets the Canes fans lamenting that they didn’t give Manny more time
9) Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-4, 3-3)- honestly this is probably too high but it’s tough to win without your starting QB so we cut Tech some slack
10) Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-4, 2-2)- make it three wins in a row for Wake
11) NC State Wolfpack (4-4, 1-3)- Will be weird when NC State finishes 7-5 and Syracuse fans will argue that it wasn’t a solid road win
12) Virginia Cavaliers (4-4, 2-3) – that loss to UNC is a killer to Virginia’s bowl hopes
13) Boston College Eagles (4-4, 1-3)- they blew a huge lead and now have the bye before Syracuse visits for a pivotal game in Bill O’Brien’s first season
14) North Carolina Tar Heels (4-4, 1-3)- the biggest shock of the weekend was UNC winning big at Virginia
15) Stanford Cardinal (2-6, 1-4) – good thing Syracuse fans will continue to be rational about losing to the Cardinal and won’t keep bringing it up until 2025 starts
16) Florida State Seminoles (1-7, 1-6) – guess FSU doesn’t hate the ACC enough to ruin the season of the top team right Mike NorveLLLLLLL
17) California Golden Bears (4-4, 0-4)- nice win over former Pac 12 friend Oregon State but not enough to keep them out of the basement this week
