Florida State tumbles in ACC's Week 4 power rankings

We know who’s at the top. It’s becoming increasingly clear who’s at the bottom. But as usual in the ACC, the middle is a jumbled mess, and the introduction of our former No. 1 -- Florida State -- that mess has only made things all the more interesting.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Clemson fans in Death Valley were jeering the playcalling (something offensive coordinator Tony Elliott agreed with, by the way). Twenty minutes later, however, the Tigers were cruising to an easy 34-7 win. A little adversity may have been just what the doctor ordered -- well, that and Travis Etienne -- ahead of a showdown with Virginia Tech.
