INSIDE THE NUMBERS

It has been a rough start for the ACC against other power conferences. The league has lost five of seven matchups to teams from the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences. That includes the marquee game on the national schedule so far, with No. 2 Georgia beating No. 6 Clemson. The league’s only wins have come with Virginia beating Illinois from the Big Ten and Pittsburgh beating Tennessee from the SEC. This weekend's schedule features Northwestern (Big Ten) visiting Duke, and No. 15 Virginia Tech visiting West Virginia (Big 12), along with the Michigan State-Miami game.
