Very quietly, the ACC has seen <span class=GramE>a resurgence<\/span> this year, mostly because of the Miami Hurricanes. The &#8216;Canes were expected to be a mid-tier ACC outfit and many people pegged them to be 0-4 to start the year, considering their difficult schedule. By the time their through with their first four games, the Hurricanes will have played four consecutive Top 25 teams. So far, so good.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Hurricanes beat <\/span><\/font><st1:place><st1:PlaceName>Florida<\/st1:PlaceName>  <st1:PlaceType>State<\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> to start the year and it wasn&#8217;t an easy win. That game took place in <span class=SpellE>Talahassee<\/span>, which is never an easy game for anyone. A lot of people making their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sportsbetonline.org\" title=\"sports picks\">sports picks<\/a> assumed they&#8217;d lose that game, <span class=GramE>then<\/span> they&#8217;d lose the game against Georgia Tech, but it&#8217;s been the complete opposite.<o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Hurricanes finally look like a strong team, thanks to the quarterbacking of <span class=SpellE>Jacory<\/span> Harris. We knew the team had talent but they had to get a taste of winning before we could consider them reliable. Now that they&#8217;ve done that, everyone is hopping on the bandwagon.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>There is no question that the Hurricanes have been impressive this year but let&#8217;s be <span class=GramE>honest,<\/span> this is not a BCS Championship contender. The Hurricanes are back and they are an ACC contender, but they still have to prove some more before we buy into them.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Hurricanes are overrated at this point and they are going to get a wakeup call on Saturday. The ACC still goes through Virginia Tech and they are going to learn about that the hard way.<o:p><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>While the Hokies didn&#8217;t get <span class=SpellE>pimpslapped<\/span> by <\/span><\/font><st1:State><st1:place>Alabama<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, they did bounce back with a win at home against <st1:State><st1:place>Nebraska<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> last week. Their running game offers two dangerous options and <span class=SpellE>Tyrod<\/span> Taylor is starting to find his groove. <o:p><\/o:p><\/p>\n<p class=MsoBodyText><font size=3 face=\"Times New Roman\"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>The Hokies are still the best team in the ACC and that will be on display this week.
