As the current leaders of the ACC Coastal division, the North Carolina Tar Heels also remain in the FanSided 25 rankings after their win against Virginia. Tar Heels QB Mitch Trubisky once again had a banner day throwing for 310 yards and four scores. Trubisky along with Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson as the best QB’s in the ACC.

If we’re lucky enough, we may see Trubisky going head to head with one of them in the ACC title game.

Washington State does it once again, another win on the road in a tough environment against Arizona State has the Cougars keeping pace with the rival Huskies in the Pac-12 North.

While things seem to be going well for the Cougars in games they’ll be favored in, they’ve got a game against Colorado that will be a good test to see where they’re at in the pecking order of the league. We know that the Apple Cup game against Washington will be important but the game against Colorado in a few weeks carries just as much weight.
