There’s a new No. 2, as North Carolina looks more and more impressive each week.
1. Clemson Tigers (9-0, 6-0). Clemson clinched the Atlantic Division with a 23-13 victory over nemesis Florida State, the three-time defending ACC champion. Credit the Tigers for winning “ugly” one week after a 56-41 shootout win at NC State. The No. 1 team in the country just needs to take care of business from here on out.
2. North Carolina Tar Heels (8-1, 5-0). Who saw this coming? Seriously. UNC is always talented, and the Heels are almost always ranked too high in the preseason.
