The ACC continues to show promise as one of the best leagues in the country, and the Miami Hurricanes are heading the charge once again in this week's polls.

UM is coming off its second-ranked win of the season against the South Florida Bulls, who were riding high on one of the best starts in program history. For the Hurricanes, this is their best start against ranked opponents since the 2001 season. In the same season, they won their last national championship.

Florida State was on a bye week, so they did not have much movement in their positioning. Let's also welcome Georgia Tech. They put themselves as potential contenders for the ACC after an upset victory over No. 12 Clemson, 24-21.

The Hurricanes get to avoid their achilles heel over the past few seasons, unless it's in the ACC Championship game, but a game against the Seminoles will be one that should have everyone on their toes for another potential top ten matchup for the Hurricanes.
