ACC power rankings after Week 2 of college football

ESPN’s Football Power Index updated its ACC power rankings based on their performance through Week Two. The new power rankings provide an updated look at where each team stands within the conference and how they stack up nationally.

Clemson remains on top despite an early loss to Georgia, but the Coastal division dominates the rest of the board. Check out the full ESPN FPI power rankings from Week Two below.

ACC power rankings

1. Clemson

Still on top of the ACC, Clemson ranks No. 4 in the country. The FPI gives the Tigers a 27.4 percent chance to go undefeated through conference play and a 70.4 percent chance to win the conference. Clemson’s chances to make the College Football Playoff have tailed off since the start of the season at 39.9 percent.

2. North Carolina

North Carolina suffered an early conference loss to Virginia Tech but bounced back with a win in Week Two. The Tarheels still rank No. 11 in the country but have the third best odds to win the conference despite where they stand now.

3. Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh padded its resume with a road win over Tennessee in Week Two, becoming the highest ranked undefeated team in the conference. The Panthers rank No. 17 in the country, cracking the Top 25 after two games. The FPI gives Pittsburgh a better chance at winning the Coastal division than North Carolina.

4. Virginia Tech

Virginia Tech started the season with a conference win over North Carolina and now ranks No. 19 in the country. The Hokies have the second-best odds to win the conference at 7.7 percent and lead the way in the Coastal with a 31.2 percent chance to go to the conference championship game.

5. Miami

Miami suffered a Week One neutral site loss against Alabama but came back in Week Two with a win. The Hurricanes rank No. 20 in the country but have just a 0.2 percent chance of winning out, according to ESPN’s FPI.

6. Virginia

Virginia is 2-0 to start the season and ranks No. 24 in the country. With the Cavaliers given a 2.9 percent chance of winning the conference, they are also the last team in the conference given a shot at the CFP with a 0.2 percent chance.

7. NC State

NC State ranks No. 27 in the country after a loss to Mississippi State. The Wolfpack are the second-best team in the Atlantic division but there is a wide gap between them and Clemson. Despite that, NC State holds a 6.5 percent chance at winning the division.

8. Boston College

Boston College is undefeated early in the season but rank No. 46 in the country. The Eagles do hold a 93 percent chance of becoming bowl eligible with six wins but are given no chance to go undefeated.

9. Wake Forest

Wake Forest is the last ACC team with a positive FPI score in the Week Two power rankings, despite measuring at a fraction of Clemson’s conference-high numbers. The Demon Deacons have a 68.1 percent chance to turn their 2-0 start into a bowl eligible season.

10. Florida State

Florida State is the only winless team in the conference after taking Notre Dame to overtime and suffering an upset loss against Jacksonville State. Despite that, the Seminoles still rank in the top 10 of the conference and No. 69 in the country. However, Florida State now has just a 6.8 percent chance of making a bowl game.

11. Georgia Tech

Georgia Tech ranks just behind ACC foe Florida State, coming in at No. 70 in the country after Week Two. As the first team given no chance to win the conference, the Yellow Jackets will hope to beat the odds on their 3.8 percent chance at bowl eligibility.

12. Louisville

Despite ranking behind Florida State and Georgia Tech, Louisville holds better odds through the season. The Cardinals rank No. 71 in the country and have a 29.8 percent chance of making a bowl appearance.

13. Duke

Duke stays off the bottom of the ACC in the Week Two power rankings. The team is 1-1 early in the season and ranks No. 82 in the country. The Blue Devils also hold a better chance at bowl eligibility than some above them at 24.1 percent.

14. Syracuse

Syracuse cracks the top 100 nationally, coming in at No. 91 overall. The Orange have a higher projected win total than Florida State and Georgia Tech but receive no chance in the conference or the division this season.
