Good news: the ACC has five teams in the AP Top 25. Bad news: Miami is our top-ranked team, and we know that Miami is fool’s gold.
Back to the good news: the ‘Canes shouldn’t have any problems in Week 2 with Florida A&M.
More good news: at least the CFP expanded to 12 teams. We should be able to get a team into a 12-team field.
On to the Week 2 ACC schedule.
