Following a decisive victory over Louisville on Thursday night, NC State moved up four spots in both the AP and Coaches polls. (They always tend to mirror each other, probably since half of the coaches in the coaches poll have graduate assistants submitting ballots for them.)
If NC State takes care of these next two weeks, I don’t think there’s any question that State will be ranked in the top 15 when it welcomes Clemson to town on Nov. 4. THAT would be fun, wouldn’t it. But I guess it’s probably best not to get too far ahead of myself here.
