ACC Football Power Rankings: Clemson College Football Playoff bound?

ACC football entered Week 9 with a few marquee matchups that would shape the conference title chase heading into November.

ACC football had a number of big games this past weekend and there were plenty of surprises that had fans and the media scratching their heads.

We saw a few potential contenders turn into the pretenders we predicted them to be and saw the emergence of Trevor Lawrence as a sneaky Heisman candidate.

Now that the weekend is over let’s take a look at our updated ACC football power rankings after Week 9.

North Carolina is at the bottom of our rankings even though you can consider it a tossup between them and Louisville as to who is the worst team in the conference. The Tar Heels run defense couldn’t slow down Virginia, as they gave up 208 yards on the ground in the 31-21. A four-game losing streak may not end with Georgia Tech coming to town this weekend.

We aren’t sure if Louisville is the worst team in the conference but giving up 56 points to Wake Forest puts them in close consideration. Jawon Pass did have a good game throwing the ball, as he threw for 358 yards and a touchdown. However, it should be another loss this weekend as they travel to Death Valley to take on the ACC juggernaut Clemson.

If you would’ve told me Florida State would be one of the worst teams In the ACC at the start of the season I would’ve called you crazy. Willie Taggart knows how to get the most out of his offenses and watching them fail to move the ball consistently has been jaw-dropping. The Seminoles will need to win at least two more games to become bowl eligible and with four games against bowl-eligible teams, I don’t see them getting another victory this season.
