This was one of those weeks where a bunch of ranked teams lose and you want your team to not lose to take advantage. Not that there’s ever an okay time to lose to UNC, anyway, but that loss hurt the Wolfpack this week as they slid down two spots to #17 in this week’s AP poll.
12 of the 15 teams outside the top 10 lost at least one game last week. Five of them lost twice. NC State was lucky to be the sixth as they gritted out a home win against Pitt.
It wasn’t just the top 25 that saw turmoil, the ACC is showing the country why it’s the toughest league around.
