In the ACC football power rankings, Wake Forest remains undefeated with a 40-37 win against the Syracuse Orange. What else happened in the ACC?

I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it
I’m about to lose control, and I think I like it
I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it
And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you

Welcome back to ACC football headquarters between Tobacco Road and the future site of the David Cutcliffe memorial statue. Despite a light schedule this week, we spilled plenty of mint juleps and yelled at the television sets much of Saturday afternoon.

Every game in the conference was down to the wire, decided by a one-score, including an overtime thriller between Syracuse and Wake Forest, who always seem to play close games, and Notre Dame escaping the Sandman with a three-point win against Virginia Tech.

If this week was any indicator of what we can expect next weekend, hold on to those juleps. Friday night could be the most intriguing game of the week. Clemson travels to the Carrier Dome to take on Syracuse.

The last time the Tigers went to upstate New York on a Friday night, they took an L. Pitt takes their high-powered offense to Blacksburg and Virginia Tech. Can Pitt continue their offensive onslaught?

To rivalries that really ain’t, playing in NFL stadiums and bells of victory, here are this week’s ACC football power rankings.
