AP Top 25: Miami falls out, NC State moves up; only 2 ACC teams in the poll

Well, this isn’t going great, you guys. This week’s AP Top 25 Poll is out, and just two ACC teams are denizens of it.

  • No. 3 Clemson (up from No. 4)
  • No. 16 NC State (up from No. 20)

This further reinforces Clemson’s status as the gold standard for ACC football. The Tigers host the league’s only other current top-25 team next Saturday, and a currently three-score favorites.

Saturday night’s disappointing road loss to Virginia is a tough pill to swallow for Miami; it also knocked the Hurricanes out of the poll — for the first time since 2016. Miami is one of three unranked ACC teams to receive votes.

  • Miami (38)
  • Duke (17)
  • Virginia (2)
