There are eight undefeated FBS teams left after this weekend, and only five undefeated power-conference programs (I’m lumping Notre Dame in here). NC State, of course, is one of them, and after thoroughly dismantling the bye week, the Wolfpack is moving up in the major human polls once again.
NC State is up to No. 15 in the Coaches Poll and No. 16 in the AP Poll. State moved up four spots in both cases. The Pack hopped past Wisconsin, Penn State, Miami, and Colorado and is the second-highest ranked ACC team behind Clemson.
