Florida State is the big winner in the ACC this week, not surprisingly; the Noles moved up 25 spots to No. 23 following their big win in Durham. NC State moved up three spots to No. 55, and in not-so-good news, Virginia plummeted out of the top 50 after losing at home to Virginia Tech. I don't care...
