There is a clear divide starting to take place between the top half and bottom half of the conference, with the dividing line between NC State and Georgia Tech. The Yellow Jackets actually were the big movers of the week for the conference, sliding up 11 spots (and 2.2 points) in the ratings, but the distance between NC State at 7th in the ACC and the 8th team in the ACC grew from 1.8 points to 4.5 points. The Wolfpack improved their ranking by 5 spots this week, with the defense driving the overall rating improvement. State officially has a Top 25 defense now, not that we haven’t all known it for a while.
