ACC Football Power Rankings, Week 3: Is Syracuse a real threat?
ACC football saw a number surprising results in conference play during Week 3. Where does everyone stand after another wild week?
ACC football had a few games cancelled this weekend due to hurricane Florence. A lot of the games in the conference room also affected by changes in the kick off times. Even though a few games could not be played there were still some surprising results in the conference this week.
Clemson continues to play as a top dog, Miami traveled to Toledo and took care of business, and Florida State head coach Willie Taggart may be on the hot seat by the end of this month.
Here’s a look at our newest set of ACC power rankings as we head into Week 4.
The Tar Heels stay at the bottom of the barrel due to their game being canceled this weekend. They have nowhere to go but up and face a Pittsburgh team coming off of a tough win against the Yellow Jackets.
The Cavaliers took care of the Ohio Bobcats and got their first win of the season on Saturday. Jordan Ellis ran for three touchdowns and the Cavaliers scored 38 points in the first half. A date against Louisville awaits them next week and we will see if the step up in competition will show what type of team Virginia can be in conference play.
The Georgia Tech offense couldn’t get anything going until the fourth quarter, and by then it was too late. Being down 18 points with a team not known for throwing the ball is a recipe for disaster, and two late scores didn’t showcase how bad the Yellow Jackets played in this one.
