RALEIGH, N.C. – Off to its first 3-0 start in ACC action and its first five-game winning streak since 2002, the NC State football team has moved into the top-20 in both major polls this week. The Wolfpack (5-1, 3-0 ACC) checks in at No. 20 in both the Associated Press and Amway Coaches' Polls at the midway point of the 2017 regular season.
 
NC State is ranked in the top-20 nationally for the first time since 2003, a No. 14 ranking two games into that season.
 
The Wolfpack has already racked up a pair of wins over ranked teams this season, a 27-21 win at 12th-ranked Florida State and a 39-25 victory over No. 17 Louisville on  Thursday night.
 
This season marks the first time the Pack has defeated two ranked ACC foes in the same season since 2006, the first time it has beaten two ranked foes since 2010, and the first time it has defeated two ranked teams in the regular season since 2008.

Voters are too lazy to actually pay attention to anything other than the final scores. We jumped the 4 teams within reach who lost. Louisville, West Virginia, Florida, and Utah.

eh......I'm happy with 20th. Maybe this will inspire the team a bit. Give them even more determination to prove the polls are wrong.

Keep winning and worry about the rest later big tests in Pitt and ND and then the big kahuna

20 is about right. Even though we have some nice wins, the voters still don't seem to know much about State - yet. Beat Pitt and move up a couple of spots. Taking care of our business is paramount. We do that, it will pay off when it matters - at the end of the season.
