Going 9-1 in your last 10 ACC games doesn’t suck. Florida State knows, because the No. 18 Seminoles have done it, following a win over Notre Dame on Monday night. How many other ACC teams can claim as much? It’s a short, elite list: No. 3 Duke and No. 5 North Carolina.
That’s right: the highest ranked AP Poll team in this perennially stacked conference, No. 2 Virginia, has gone 8-2 over its last 10.
The rest of the ACC’s best have shown just how difficult the ACC is. No. 20 Virginia Tech has won 7 of its last 10, and the other top teams in the conference, which aren’t even ranked, have gone 6-4 (Syracuse) and 5-5 (Louisville).
