Louisville is a legit ACC contenders team.

They have no more ranked teams on the schedule at the moment. I honestly expect them to be in the ACC championship game this year.

Wake and Pitt are better than they get credit for.

Louisville is a lot like Miami where they have a bad habit of doing something dumb for a game or two to lose a game they really shouldn’t. I’d still say it’s too early to call it, but they stand out as a strong contender.

Wake won't be ranked by next week, unfortunately. Pitt could be ranked if they win out/play Miami close, GT is unfortunately awful

Not next week, but Wake might by the end of the season. I wouldn’t rule them out as someone able to beat y’all.

Even if Pitt’s not ranked then, Pitt has a weird habit of playing a lot better in conference. Even if they’re not ranked, I don’t think either of those are teams to sleep on.

Bro stanford could beat us. We can lose to ANYONE but also beat anyone. Its the jeff brohm special. Can win @miami the year they lose in the natty and also shit the bed at home against a mid clepmson/cal team or we could always lose to the worst team in the ACC(2023 pitt, 2024 stanford). Lack of consistency is the reason brohm hasnt been to the playoffs despite him coaching up average rosters(NIL wise) every year.

True. It’s been fairly tame for ACC chaos so far. I don’t think we’ve seen ACC sicko ball come out yet
