According to the latest SP+ ratings and rankings, Florida State remains head and shoulders above the rest of the conference. That makes sense considering the Seminoles remain perfect on the year, but obviously the Jordan Travis injury is the giant question mark for them moving forward. FSU did move up into the Top 5 this week via SP+, so that’s some positive news among all the handwringing down in Tallahassee this week.
NC State’s rating improved by 0.8 points with the win over Virginia Tech, but the ranking remained the same. In case you were wondering if there is such a thing as a UNC booster built into the SP+ formula, the fact that the Tar Heels remain in the Top 20 despite losing three of their last five (with one of those two wins being over an FCS squad) tells you all you need to know.
