This week in the ACC football power rankings, Wake Forest lost their first game against North Carolina, and Clemson got healthier defensively. 

Pressure pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family into two
Puts people on streets

~Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie

Welcome back to headquarters between Tobacco Road and the future site of David Cutcliffe’s statue. This week is all about surviving under pressure. Did the pressure get to Wake Forest this weekend, or does North Carolina have the Deacon’s number?

It seems as if the Demon Deacons and Tar Heels forget what time of year it is with their track meet-like games the last couple of seasons.

Pitt rebounded after their first loss of the season with their off-week victory against Duke. North Carolina State keeps rolling in Raleigh, keeping themselves in the hunt for the ACC Atlantic Division.

Speaking of teams sneaking around the chicken coop, the Clemson Tigers are getting healthy defensively and have found some semblance of a running game. Don’t be surprised if the Tigers have a say in the outcome of the ACC.

This year has been a fun season in the ACC, and the finish should be equally entertaining. So, to rivalries that really ain’t and to playing nonconference, conference games, here are the ACC Power Rankings for Week 11.
