Ranking The ACC - Week 6

This'll be a quickie-style ranking. I already ran down my thoughts on most of the teams this week, so this will be mostly just where I think they lie in the ACC and maybe a thought or two about their next game.

1. Florida State - Should have no problem with a depleted Virginia squad on Saturday night.

2. Virginia Tech - Still a very close #2. They get their first weekend off this week.

3. Miami - HUUUGE game at Temple this week.

4. Boston College - Solidified their position with a solid, if occasionally sloppy, win over Virginia. Don't sleep on the Deacons this weekend.

5. Clemson - This is where it gets hazy. Who can tell the difference between Clemson, NC State, Georgia Tech and Maryland? Should be a good game tonight against NC State.

6. Georgia Tech - They lost to State at home, but juuuuust barely. I'm picking them over the Pack by the slimmest of margins.

7. NC State - A win's a win, right? And a win in Atlanta is always good. Now, how can they do against the Tiggers on national TV?

8. Maryland - Really looked improved in their win over Virginia. But is that saying much? They get a bye this week before their test next week against the Hokies.

9. Virginia - Plummeting. Hey, at least they were the topic of the national media this week!

11. Wake Forest - I told you it would be fun if they beat Clemson!

10. North Carolina - You give up 69 points to a basketball school, you drop in the rankings. Let's see how they do against Bye this week.

12. Duke - Why doesn't Duke play Temple like everyone else?
