\nWeek 6<\/a> in the ACC brought clarity \u2014 and a few surprises \u2014 as the conference race continues to tighten. Miami delivered a statement win, Duke continued its hot streak, and Virginia proved it\u2019s more than just a one-week wonder. And Jeff<\/a> and Matthew<\/a> continue to bring you everything having to do with the Atlantic Coast Conference with This Week In The ACC<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes Heat Up Tallahassee<\/h2>\n

Miami\u2019s 28\u201322 road victory at Florida State showcased a complete team performance. The Hurricanes dominated for most of the game, leading 28\u20133 entering the fourth quarter before easing off late. Head coach Mario Cristobal\u2019s team looks like the most balanced in college football right now \u2014 strong quarterback play, a deep defense, and enough offensive firepower to hang with anyone. If Miami can play a full 60 minutes, they could be a legitimate playoff contender.<\/p>\n

Blue Devils Own the Night in \u2018ACC After Dark\u2019<\/h2>\n

Duke\u2019s 45\u201321 win at Cal was another reminder that the Blue Devils are quietly becoming one of the league\u2019s toughest outs. With quarterback play at a high level and an offense firing on all cylinders, Duke has fully embraced the \u201cACC After Dark\u201d identity. Cal, meanwhile, continues to struggle with inconsistency after another second-half collapse.<\/p>\n

Virginia Keeps Its Cool in Overtime Thriller<\/h2>\n

The Cavaliers\u2019 overtime win at Louisville was one of the weekend\u2019s most impressive performances. Coming off a signature win over Florida State, Virginia could have stumbled \u2014 but instead showed focus and discipline in a tough road environment.<\/p>\n

Disappointments Mount in Boston and Chapel Hill<\/h2>\n

Boston College\u2019s 48\u20137 loss to Pittsburgh and North Carolina\u2019s continued struggles have left both programs searching for direction. The Eagles look lost midway through the season, and UNC may now be the worst team in the Power Four.<\/p>\n

With key Week 7 matchups on deck, including Notre Dame\u2013NC State and Florida State\u2013Pittsburgh, the second half of the ACC season will separate the contenders from the pretenders.
