Let’s start off our ACC football rankings in week 4 with this warning, beware Piranha. Ok, so yes someone switched out the coffee to decaf as a joke so maybe all the cylinders aren’t firing but hear us out. Sometimes it isn’t the Great White Shark but the small, yet vicious Piranha that will take you out because, after all, they’re so small, what could they possibly do? Cue your favorite B horror flick featuring the little scamps. Okay, we digress. This is about football.

So, yeah, football. When you start looking past an opponent and can only think of that Great White is when you’re in trouble. It may not have happened to your favorite team so far this season but know that opportunity is knocking. Don’t answer the door!

This past weekend we saw a heralded homecoming of a former Virginia OC and QB now in the form of a wolf (keep thinking horror movies) return to their former hunting grounds. NC State almost became the prey as they pulled out a 24-21 win.
The Hokies found out that Huntington, WV isn’t a place for strangers to hang around football fields as they dropped to Marshall, 24-17.

Thanks guys! You didn’t disappoint us after all the preseason hype around Florida State and Clemson. It really lived up to expectations. The ‘Noles rode into Death Valley and left sufficiently bumped and bruised with a 31-24 OT win. You also made it easier to work up the ACC football rankings.
Georgia Tech….sneaky Yellow Jackets at this time of the year come out from places you’d least expect and sting the crap out of you. Wake Forest was applying liberal amounts of Benadryl following a 30-16 upset.
One last note. It wasn’t Phil this week. But like good buds will often do, someone, everyone stepped up to fill his shoes. We’re talking Pitt. Ugh. C’mon gentlemen, you’re far more capable and we expect better. North Carolina is a formidable opponent so we give you some leeway here. The Tar Heels with a 41-24 win.

The top tier of teams in the ACC football rankings are a pretty solid block. Duke faces off with Notre Dame and Syracuse invites Clemson into their house. The middle tier is becoming clogged up and will have to wait at least one more week before Roto-Rooter can address the problem.
