Louisville surges into No.
Louisville · SMUA big win by Louisville against SMU has made a significant change to the top portion of the ACC college football power rankings. Miami continues to show the way in the ACC and now has two road win in the conference among its first three games.
But where were some movement in this week's power rankings as results near the top changed the pecking order. A key result in Louisville has now definitively identified the top challenger for the Hurricanes.
And oh yeah, the defending league champions from Duke can't be counted out either. Near the bottom, there was a disappointing finish that spoiled a potentially big non-conference road win.
A trip to Death Valley follows this tuneup. What to know: The rest of the Cardinals' ACC slate is quite manageable, but that also means few opportunities for quality wins.
