Boston College now one of 4 5-0 teams in the ACC

Last Week was Chaos Week, this was the exact opposite. Every undefeated team won outside the three 4-0 vs. 4-0 games, 2 of which in the ACC.

1. Pittsburgh- Yes, I have put Pitt #1 here, that isn’t a typo. Pitt won the first ever “Game of the Century” at Duke 29-22 in a very hard fought game. Their wins over 2 4-1 teams in Marshall and Duke make their resume on of the Top 2 in the Nation along with Akron. They travel to South Bend to face Notre Dame this week who has been on of the most shocking teams in the wrong way at 0-5.

2. Boston College– Boston College got a huge home win against #11 VT this week at home 31-21 and are the most surprising of the 5-0 ACC teams as they are neck and neck with NC State. We will see if last season repeats itself with BC falling off or if they can stay at the Top of the ACC. They go back OOC with a home game against AAC foe, Tulsa.

3. NC State– NC State with a 24-10 win over Florida State this week, nothing unexpected there. UNLV falling to 2-3 hurts them as they have 0 wins against 0.500+ teams now. More of the same this week as they host 2-3 Wake Forest.

4. Virginia- Very similar to NC State this week with a 34-16 win over GT. They have the same issue as NC State but worse as they have only beaten 1 team with 2 wins and their MoV is still concerning. They get their shot this week against a Duke team who will be angered after a close loss to #1 Pitt.

5. Duke– They lost a hard fought battle vs #1 Pitt but lost 29-22. This hurts their ACC Title hopes as they need Pitt to lose twice now and Duke gets no break as they travel to unbeaten UVA this week for another Top 25 showdown.

6. Virginia Tech– VT is in the same boat as Duke as they lost to #7 Boston College 31-21 this week on the road; however, unlike Duke, they still control their destiny to the ACC Title game as the BC game was cross-divisional. They travel to UNC this week.

7. Louisville– Louisville went into the Carrier Dome and put on arguably their best game in Team History with a 49-14 win over Syracuse: Largest MoV, 2 Defensive TDs, and 1 Special Teams TD. Michigan State winning 2 in a row since the UL game helps out too. They host FSU this week.

8. Clemson– Clemson got back in the winning column with a 38-24 win over Wake. Even with the GT loss, they still control their destiny to the ACC Title Game. Shocking, I know. They host 0-5 Temple this week, last time I said they had an easy win they lost to GT, so let’s see if they learned their lesson.

9. Miami– They got a 13-7 win over UNC this week to move to 2-3, this is the part where the teams start to get really bad in quality. They host GT this week in a Coastal Showdown that maybe 5 people watch.

10. Wake Forest– Wake lost to Clemson 38-24 this week. Both their wins are against 1-4 teams. They get the “fun” task to playing at NC State this week.

11. Georgia Tech– They hold the 11 Spot with a 34-16 loss to #8 Virginia. Clemson notching another win helps and they don’t have a truly bad loss. They travel to Miami this week for the ACC’s first Tank Bowl.

12. Syracuse– Lose by 35 and move up 2 spots. That tell you more about the 2 teams below Syracuse than it does about Syracuse. From competing with #1 Pitt to losing by 35 to Louisville. That Fresno wins keeps them above the next 2. They travel to North Texas this week, who, by the way, lost to Fresno.

13. North Carolina– They did have the SOS excuse before this week. They no longer have that. They lost to Miami 13-7. Their Coach is showing their true colors from the Wyoming days now. The Washington wins is losing value each passing week. They host VT this week.

14. Florida State– A 24-10 loss to NC State isn’t bad per say. It’s the fact that their only win is against a terrible Illinois team. For the second week in a row, the last place team play Louisville, FSU hopes they don’t suffer Syracuse’s fate.
