Rick Neuheisel believes the playoff committee didn't just send a message to Miami with their first rankings, but the entire ACC.
Five ACC teams made the initial list, and the top four were packed in the teens, with Virginia being the highest ranked at 14th and Miami at 18th. The Hurricanes have some impressive victories early in the season. The most notable was a 27-24 win over Notre Dame in Week 1.
Neuheisel said the rankings showed the uphill battle the ACC faces.
"This is tough on the ACC."@CoachNeuheisel thinks the ACC isn't getting the respect it deserves in the latest CFP rankings.
