UNC Basketball: ACC Men's Basketball rankings for the week of January 15
By Jordan Falls
Are you surprised to see the Seminoles this high? This week, they are our biggest movers, jumping seven spots from their previous No. 11 ranking. Florida State is beginning to prove they belong among the top of the ACC contenders. Think about this: they are 4-1 in conference play and are a 14-point blown lead in the Dean E. Smith Center away from being undefeated in the conference.
Yes, the Seminoles have some concerning losses out of conference play. As of late, though, Leonard Hamilton's squad appears to be figuring things out as they have won four consecutive games, including a victory over Wake Forest, who was No. 2 in last week's rankings.
Can the Seminoles keep the winning streak going? A road test to Coral Gables to face Miami and a home date with Clemson await this week. Another 2-0 week from the Noles could see them continue to rise in the rankings.
