The Miami Hurricanes, SMU Mustangs, and Louisville Cardinals retained their positions at the top of the ACC power rankings following a week of varied results across the conference. While the top tier cruised to victories, mid-tier programs experienced significant shifts as the Duke Blue Devils, Wake Forest Demon Deacons, and Boston College Eagles secured wins over Big Ten opponents. Georgia Tech fell to 0-2 following a 45-24 loss to Tennessee, prompting a drop in the rankings. Clemson recorded a 22-7 win over Georgia Southern despite an injury to Christopher Vizzina, while the California Golden Bears earned their first victory under head coach Tosh Lupoi by defeating Syracuse 21-18.
