ACC Basketball Power Rankings: Clemson rising, Virginia & Wake Forest continue to roll
By Scott Roche
The Blue Devils bounced-back from losing at North Carolina last week with convincing home wins over Notre Dame and Boston College. Monday night's matchup with Wake Forest is a sneaky good game.
Last week: No. 3
Games this week: Feb. 12 vs. Wake Forest, Feb. 17 at Florida State
We have reached that point in the season where it's "I wouldn't want to play a Tony Bennett team in March'' point. It's not always pretty, but it gets the job done and I agree, the Cavaliers are peaking at the right time and can be a very dangerous team come March. They were a Miami win over UNC away on Saturday from sliding up to the top spot this week.
Last week: No. 2
Games this week: Feb. 13 vs. Pittsburgh, Feb. 17 vs. Wake Forest
After losing to Clemson at home, the Tar Heels rebounded by getting a win at Miami with a strong second half. A loss there would have dropped them behind Virginia, but good teams win games on the road when they need to.
Last week: No. 1
Games this week: Feb. 13 at Syracuse, Feb. 17 vs. Virginia Tech
