Pitt pulled off a nice win in their first ACC game of the year in defeating Virginia Tech on the road. As you might expect, they were rewarded in this week's power rankings. Below is how I slot the conference's teams after this past weekend but let me know what I got right/wrong.
| Ranking | Previous | School | Record | Notes |
| 1 | 1 | Clemson | 4-0 | Big win over a top ten Notre Dame team keeps them on top |
| 2 | 2 | Florida State | 4-0 | Another fairly unimpressive win over lowly Wake Forest |
| 3 | 5 | Duke |
4-1 | Narrow 9-7 win over Boston College moves them up |
| 4 | 6 | North Carolina |
4-1 |
38-31 win over Georgia Tech moves them up |
| 5 | 8 |
Pitt | 3-1 | Won over Virginia Tech on the road |
| 6 | 12 |
Louisville |

34-23 loss to Cincinnati means a big drop |
