Louisville and Pitt are two interesting teams that could rise in the rankings by the time the Hurricanes face them later on in the school year. Also note if the Canes reach the ACC Championship game, No. 4 Clemson could be on the books for another ranked team. This season is one of many that could set the Hurricanes up for success as they prepare to have one of their best season in history.
