. "We really feel like we believe in what we can do." Clemson is quite clearly the ACC favorite now. One could argue for fellow 5-0 surprise team Georgia Tech, with its powerful option offense. But the Jackets, who beat NC State 45-35 on Saturday, haven't put on a defensive display like the Tigers did Saturday. The two meet Oct. 29 in Atlanta, and they could meet again in Charlotte in December.
• No. 8 Clemson (5-0): The Tigers' third consecutive win over a ranked foe was their most resounding yet, a 23-3 road rout of 11th-ranked Virginia Tech in which the defense overwhelmed Hokies quarterback Logan Thomas behind a dominant effort from defensive end
