Thanks for that.

So 12 teams up and 5 down (1 tie).  And on average up about 5 spots per team.  
And since it's a net positive, they are still getting restricted by preseason weights.  
[B]IF, and bolding IF, [/B]the ACC continues to trend as it has, the average KP number is going to keep moving upwards a fair bit  as the preseason weights wear off.

Seems like there is only one clear dud in the ACC right now.   BC at #105... and they are headed to far worse than #105, but right now their preseason ranking is helping them.

[B]To me what is interesting is the number of teams initially ranked below #50, that have moved up a lot already (10 spots or more).   Florida St, Miami, Virginia Tech, Syracuse, Virginia.  [/B] That's quite a few teams, and that bodes well for the depth of the conference which builds on itself to create more Q1 and Q2 wins.

Also had to do a double check on Wake Forest - wasn't expecting them to go down in rank based on what I saw against Michigan.   But then I looked at what they did in the other 2 games, and it was subpar modest wins (12 and 16) against Morehead and American.   Just goes to show you heavy margin against bad teams will influence things.
