ACC Power Rankings: After Week 5

The ACC’s unpredictable nature took center stage again this weekend, with a mix of dominant performances and controversial outcomes reshaping the conference’s power structure. Miami remained untouchable with a commanding 41–13 victory over Clemson, solidifying their spot atop the rankings.

Wake Forest, despite a loss to Miami, climbed to second after a 57–3 blowout of Stanford, while Pittsburgh’s 35–33 win over Virginia Tech—amidst lingering questions about a potential last-second field goal—kept them in the top four. Duke, who had a bye week, dropped slightly in the rankings, while NC State’s 31–28 upset of Louisville added to the conference’s chaotic vibe.

Meanwhile, Florida State’s 38–7 rout of Virginia and SMU’s narrow 25–16 win over Boston College highlighted the competitive balance, though Louisville’s struggles and Florida State’s inconsistent schedule suggest their fates remain uncertain heading into the final stretch.
