ESPN updated its FPI projections earlier this month and there was a bit of movement, which isn’t a shocker given the impact of the transfer portal these days. NC State actually dropped a couple spots, from No. 26 (in FPI’s April projections) to No. 28. The Pack is projected to finish with an 8-4 record.
NC State’s place in the ACC pecking order did not change: Clemson, Miami, UNC, and Pitt rate higher, which was also the case in the spring.
FPI remains less optimistic on NC State than SP+, which has the Pack in the top 20, or most humans, for that matter.
