The ACC continues to reign supreme amongst all other conferences. With so much talent, how does that affect this week’s power rankings?

The strength of the Atlantic Coast Conference continues to be displayed on a weekly basis.

Georgia Tech went into this week 3-4 on the season with one good win over North Carolina.

They exit at 5-4 with three good wins on the resume for the season.

Miami blows a game at Duke. Then follows that up by barely beating Boston College at home and throttling the Tar Heels.

Speaking of Duke, apparently the Blue Devils are back after their comeback against Wake Forest. But wasn’t that the case after their comeback against Miami which they followed with a loss to NC State?

Meanwhile, Florida State and Notre Dame went into the week a combined 12-2 in ACC play.

They exit the week 0-4 combined.

In other words, no gimmes this season fellas.

So with that all taken care of, let’s delve into this week’s power rankings.

Note: all records and stats are as of 1/29/2017
