ACC Atlantic has most ranked teams of any division


Oct 19, 2022, 9:28 PM

As Brett Friedlander pointed out in his article about Clemson fighting perception as much as its opponents, the ACC Atlantic is the only Division in football with 4 ranked teams. Ironic. It's a good, short read:

Friedlander: Perception could be Clemson's biggest hurdle on the road to the playoff - Saturday Road
The Tigers aren't just battling other teams for a spot in college football's final four, they're also fighting a narrative that the ACC is an "inferior" league.

So, we're the only top ten team with two top 25 wins...and

after Saturday, we'll be the only top 10 team with THREE top 25 wins! And folks don't think there's an SEC bias in the polls? Haha!!

Ohio St has played absolutely NO ONE! Michigan has only beaten Penn State, who will probably not be ranked at the end of the season! UGA blow out Oregon, but has played no one else with a pulse, and should've lost to Mizzou!

Clemson plays in the only division with four ranked teams! Hopefully, we'll have beaten the other three, come Saturday night!

Devil’s advocate here…

At the time, UT has beaten 4 teams ranked in the top 25 when they beat them:
17 Pitt
20 UF
25 LSU
3 Bama

Back to the side of the good guys: there was one point when the top 15 had 3 losses. 2 of those 3 losses were to Clemson: Wake & NCSU. Wake will probably win out. NCSU is done because Leary is out.

What’s the point? It’s difficult to win. Win out, and you’re in. The good news: we’re back in the conversation. Very much back in the conversation.

The negative: Cuse is about to crash hard in the last half of their season. NCSU is 23rd and headed out of the top 25 without their qb.

The positive: Clemson is Clemson. Let’s go!!! Nice to be back. Wake will probably win out.

The skinny: win and we’re in!

Very good post go_all_tigers. Polls are a matter of opinion and until the Bowl season when all the games are over, any charge of bias is just another opinion.

There's still the perception problem...we lose one, no chanc

we'll get in this year! Bama or UGA with one loss...they are likely still in!
