ACC Power Rankings

[CalvinJohnson4God]

1. Clemson - not sold that they're the best, but they have the beat resume so far. Staved off an injury depleted FSU team this week. Next week's game decides if they stay here or swap spots with VT.

2. GT - offense looking close to unstoppable, except when they stop themselves. 2 ugly miscues in a solid win over UNC at home.

3. VT - Haven't really played anyone yet. Feels kind of strange for a team that generally has a tough game early on. Clemson will be the first real test. Win and they move to #1.

4. UNC - drops to 3-1 after a close loss in Atlanta. Still doing well despite all of the off the field issues. Could still contend for the coastal.

5. FSU - Just 2-2 now, but it was tough to recover from the OU game before heading to Clemson. Still very real Atlantic division contenders. Clemson has to play GT and VT from the coastal, both on the road. FSU plays neither.

6. Wake Forest? It really gets ugly from here on out. This may be the first year that people can say the ACC seems "top heavy" in some time. They sit at 2-1, the 1 loss being a disappointing OT loss to Cuse in a game they should have won.

7. Miami - They could still be pretty decent. The loss to Maryland looks bad now, but that was the game they were missing the most players for. They probably have no chance of winning the division, unless they become a whole new team, and quickly

8. Duke - They lost to Richmond, which it seems like they do every time they play. Other than that, a loss to Stanford is nothing to cry over and they are now 2-2. By no means a good team, and will likely fall further down this list, but being at .500 right now is a win for them.

9. UVA - bad loss against So. Miss. Too many turnovers cost them. Not a good team, but probably capable of an upset somewhere along the line.

10. NC State - The Wake and Cinci losses were ugly. That trend will likely continue.

11. Maryland - I don't think even Al Fuckin Golden could have embarrassed you any more thoroughly today

12. Boston College - What happened to this program?

GTech is reddiculously over rated. Line them up against a decent defense they can be stopped. Come on, its a high school offense.

I award you no points, and may god have mercy on your soul.

Nobody goes there. He wanted it to actually be read.

They just played a decent defense.

Who would have thought after Maryland beat Miami that they would have dropped like that? I don't really disagree with any of them.

ACC Power Rankings is an oxymoron.

To be fair, Maryland (1-2) is still undefeated in conference play.

Now that they've embarrases the conference in their OOC games, they could embarrass it even more by winning some games in the conference.

Clemson plays @ VT, vs. UNC, and @ GT
FSU plays @ Duke, and home against Miami, and Virginia.
FSU has a much easier schedule.

Good point, I didn't realize Clemson also plays UNC.

Yeah, Clemson's schedule is MUCH more difficult

If you fire a coach for interviewing for a better job, you're only going to get coaches that view your program as their ceiling.

I doubt it. Our QB's are horrendous and our defense hasn't fared much better thus far. Plus the playcalling has been mind boggling as well. All that adds up to another long season and likely another year without going to a bowl.

miami may not be good but they werent good the past 2 seasons with blow out wins vs gt, go figure

Well GT was absolutely horrible last year. Miami should have won that game.

And Miami was a 9 win team the year prior. Which is the best Miami has done since 2005, by a pretty wide margin, considering they haven't won more than 7 games in any other year since then.


Were you upset by me saying Miami could still be pretty decent or something? LOL at this outburst.
