The first week of the 2021 NCAA football season was an eventful one for the Atlantic Coast Conference, with unranked Virginia Tech defeating No. 10 North Carolina in Blacksburg, Virginia, while Miami fell to No. 1 Alabama and Clemson lost to then No. 5 Georgia.
In Week 2, conference programs redeemed themselves as the ACC rebounded from its shakier Week 1 as a whole, registering a conference record of 10-3. And despite the strong overall record, there were still shocking losses and impressive wins from several teams.
