The ACC in SP+ after Week 9

It feels like this season kind of fizzled on the ACC. In the preseason, the possibility of the league having multiple headliner/top-15 teams seemed good, what with the caliber of quarterbacks in this league.

But it definitely hasn’t worked out that way. Sure, the ACC still has several ranked teams, but no one has emerged to share the national spotlight with Clemson.

And as far as SP+ goes, there aren’t even two ACC teams in the top 30. Yeesh. Here’s what’s changed in SP+, if anything, since I last checked in a few weeks back:

ACC in SP+

Team SP+ Rk After Week 6 SP+ Rk After Week 9 Change

FSU 33 33 0
Wake Forest 30 34 -4
UNC 51 37 14
NC State 32 43 -11
Louisville 60 44 16

Duke 77 76 1
Virginia 83 81 2
Virginia Tech 86 91 -5
Georgia Tech 85 97 -12
BC 94 99 -5

Six of the ACC’s seven top-50 squads are in the Atlantic Division.
