ACC power rankings remain stable at top after week two football action
Summary

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. Several programs now prepare for upcoming non-conference matchups, including the FSU Seminoles who face Alabama and NC State which plays Vanderbilt.
