ACC Men’s Basketball Power Rankings: ACC Week 1

So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won’t you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!?
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!

Raise Your Glass-P!nk

Happy New Year THB Nation! And with the new year comes another set of Power Rankings as the ACC season finally kicked off this week with eight games to kick off the week and eight more scheduled this weekend. Teams that seemed suspect coming into the conference season will have to prove their record isn’t a fluke, while teams that looked strong will have to avoid the letdowns and trap games.

Obviously with just one round of games in the books, there wont be too much movement in these rankings. So without further ado, here are this week’s ACC Men’s Basketball Power Rankings.

1. North Carolina Tar Heels (13-1, 1-0)

Last Game: Won 79-66 against Florida State

The Tar Heels claim the top spot this week by becoming the first ACC team to 13 wins thanks to their 13 point win over Florida State. North Carolina, who has won seven straight games, held the Seminoles to 35% from the field while also forcing nine turnovers, including seven by leading scorer Robert McCray V. UNC’s next conference game is on the road as they travel to play the Mustangs in their first conference game of the season.

2. Duke Blue Devils (12-1, 1-0)

Last Game: Won 85-79 against Georgia Tech

The Blue Devils came out cold against Georgia Tech on New Year’s Eve and trailed the Yellow Jackets by four at halftime. That is enough to drop Duke a spot in this week’s rankings as Georgia Tech just isn’t that good. The Blue Devils will look to improve to 2-0 in conference play when they travel to Tallahassee to take on the three point shooting Seminoles.

Next Game: at Florida State (1/3)

3. Louisville Cardinals (11-2, 1-0)
