Here are the ACC Power Rankings heading into week ten:

I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I’d love you to love me
I’m beggin’ you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I’d love you to love me
I’ll shine up my old brown shoes
I’ll put on a brand new shirt
I’ll get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I
See you cryin’ (cryin, cryin’)

I Want You to Want Me by Cheap Trick

Welcome back to headquarters on the corner of Howard’s Rock and the future site of the David Cutcliffe Memorial Trophy. Everyone wants to feel loved, right? The ACC Championship game isn’t quite feeling the love at the moment. Everyone’s darling in the preseason, but North Carolina can’t get out of its own way.

Duke was a sprained ankle away from getting to Charlotte. And then there’s Pitt; we have no idea what anyone saw at Pitt. Louisville might be the only team in the conference that wants the smoke with Florida State. That said, the Cardinals did lose to Pitt.

All we know is the Seminoles are looking like the best team in the ACC by a mile, and everyone else is trying not to play for second place.

To bowls made of textiles, bells of victory, and cups for the commonwealth, raise a mint julep to the ACC Power Rankings heading into week ten.
