The 2024 season is about to hit the midway point. We’ve seen out-of-conference play and the beginning of conference play. We now have a better idea of how teams are shaping up.
It’s time to start ranking the ACC on a weekly basis. The CaneReports will rank the ACC teams each Friday for the rest of the season.
Let the chips fall where they may.
1. Miami (5-0, 1-0)
The early class of the ACC despite a scare. However, can the Canes survive the upset calls this week?
2. Clemson (3-1, 2-0)
Tigers are climbing back after embarrassing start. Don’t sleep on them? Are they CFP contenders?
3. Louisville (3-1, 1-0)
The sleeping giant? We’ll know more over the next few weeks.
4. Duke (5-0, 1-0)
Manny has the Blue Devils off to a fast start. But are they pretenders? We will know soon enough.
5. Pittsburgh (4-0, 0-0)
Explosive offense so far. Time to smoke Tar Heels on Tobacco Road?
6. SMU (4-1, 1-0)
The early season surprise among the conference newcomers. Can the Pony Express stay in the race?
7. Boston College (4-1, 1-0)
Over achievers? Or new leadership at the top? The Eagles are suddenly competitive with a dangerous QB.
8. Syracuse. (3-1, 1-1)
Can the Orange continue to live up to the pre-season hype? Can they win in Sin City?
9. Virginia (3-1, 1-0)
Playing above expectations, Can the Cavs shoot down the Eagles?
10. California (3-1, 0-1)
Underrated. Can the Bears bring down Goliath?
11. Georgia Tech (3-2, 1-2)
Under achieving so far. Do the Jackets have enough sting left to stay in the race?
12. NC State (3-2, 0-1)
Another under achiever, but still dangerous. Can the Pack get back in the race?
13. Stanford (2-2, 1-1)
Competitive squad. But do they have enough fire power?
14. North Carolina (3-2, 0-1)
Disappointing so far after an embarrassing loss.
15. Virginia Tech (2-3, 0-1)
Underrated. Dangerous. Can the Hokies rebound in the second half? Can they travel?
16. Wake Forest (1-3, 0-1)
The Demon Deacons are undermanned despite excellent coaching. It’s going to be a long season.
17. Florida State (1-4, 1-3)
Shocking! Can the coaching staff survive? Will the Noles go back to the portal?
See you next week for our first reset.
GO CANES!
