The Atlantic Coast Conference is off to one of its strongest starts in league history.Often maligned as the weakest of the Power Five leagues, the ACC has three teams ranked in the top 10 , tied with the Big Ten for the most. Its 17-5 record in non-conference games is the third-best start in ACC history.The conference, and two of its biggest stars, will take center stage in college football on Saturday at noon when second-ranked Florida State (2-0) and No. 10 Louisville (2-0, 1-0 ACC) meet in Kentucky.Its the first meeting of two top 10 teams from the ACC since Florida State and Miami in 2013.I think its critical, Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher said of what the showdown means to the ACC. It adds to ... credibility.The game feature Florida State redshirt freshman quarterback Deondre Francois and Louisvilles dual-threat dynamo Lamar Jackson, who has put his name into early Heisman Trophy talk with 13 touchdowns in two record-setting games.Jackson was responsible for eight touchdowns by halftime in the Cardinals season-opening win against Charlotte, and followed that up by running for four scores and passing for another in a 62-28 victory at Syracuse . With 411 passing yards and 199 rushing yards against the Orange, he became just the second 400-150 player in FBS history.Francois, in his first start for the Seminoles, had 478 yards of offense in guiding Florida State to its largest come-from-behind victory in a 45-34 triumph against No. 19 Mississippi.In a league that has been recently viewed as Florida State, Clemson and everyone else, Fisher believes its time for people outside the ACC to take another look and realize other teams in the league can compete with everyone.The Seminoles beat Auburn for the 2013 national championship. Clemson made the title game last season, losing to Alabama, but Tigers quarterback Deshaun Watson was a prominent name in early Heisman talk this year as well.It is great, great football in the ACC and Im glad that people are starting to see it, Fisher said. He said some of the perspective of ACC football is based on the leagues reputation that took hold long ago and is difficult to shake.I just think its something that over time has been ingrained and it will take time to get it out, he said.Seminoles center Alec Eberle grew up in Mechanicsville, Virginia, at a time when Virginia Tech was the leagues marquee program. The Hokies won four championships in their first seven years in the league, from 2004-10, but numerous teams have shown improvement since.Over the last couple years, the ACC has come up so much in the football world, Eberle said. Florida State was up there and Virginia Tech, but now Louisville, UNC is getting real big, Duke has gotten better over the years. Its awesome knowing the ACC is competing at this higher level.Clemson (2011, 2015) and Florida State (2012-14) have combined to win the last five league championships, but in the past four seasons, Georgia Tech has reached the title game twice, Duke and North Carolina once each.Its definitely improving, definitely on the rise, Louisville wide receiver Jamari Staples said. Id say the ACC is one of the strongest. There are so many teams that can just pop out of nowhere. Wake Forest is 2-0. Who knows where theyll be at the end of the season? Its a hard conference to play in. Youve got to work hard to win.The 2-0 start for the Demon Deacons includes a 24-14 victory at Duke last weekend, their first road victory against any of the other three North Carolina schools in the conference since they won at Duke of October 2011.Third-year coach Dave Clawson cautioned against making too much of the victory, but is optimistic.I dont want to make it bigger than it was, he said. It was a big win for our program. ... But in terms of validating what we did, it is still a work in progress. It only means something if we can carry it through and keep improving and win more games.Sounds like a microcosm of the ACCs strong start.---AP sports writers Joe Reedy in Tallahassee, Florida, Gary Graves in Louisville, Kentucky, and Joedy McCreary in Winston-Salem contributed.---Online: The APs college football page: http://collegfootball.ap.org---Follow Hank on Twitter: www.twitter.com/hankkurzjr and his work can be found at: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/hank-kurz-jr Adidas NMD R2 Sale . Third-seeded Murray had the easiest path to victory on New Years Eve, barely breaking a sweat during his 6-0, 6-0 win over 2,129th-ranked Qatari wildcard recipient Mousa Shanan Zayed. Adidas NMD Human Race Cheap . -- Catcher Brett Hayes has agreed to a $630,000, one-year contract with the Kansas City Royals, avoiding salary arbitration. http://www.cheapnmdonline.com/authentic-pharrell-williams-x-adidas-nmd-human-race-eqt-yellow-unisex.html . -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. Adidas NMD Triple Black For Sale . "I dont know that were close," said general manager Alex Anthopoulos. "I just think, right now, the acquisition cost just doesnt work for us right now. I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Adidas NMD R1 Womens Raw Pink . First off, the fans ripped the Cubbies introduction of a fuzzy new kid-friendly mascot named "Clark". Having taken one step through the AFL finals, Adelaide coach Don Pyke could take another without two defensive pillars.Crow Kyle Hartigan is certain to be sanctioned after being reported for tripping during Adelaides 62-point elimination final thrashing of North Melbourne.And his fellow tall backman Daniel Talia faces scrutiny from the match review panel after felling Kangaroo forward Drew Petrie with what appeared to be a forearm strike.Hartigans trip of Norths Lindsay Thomas was blatant - the Crow thrust out his left leg, making contact to the Roo goalsneaks knee and causing him to fall.But its up to the match review panel to decide whether the act was severe enough to warrant a suspension which could rule Hartigan out of Adelaides away Saturday night semi-final against Sydney.Pyke, asked if he was worried about the Hartigan report, replied: I cant really comment on that. We will see what happens out of that over the tribunal process.Pressed as tto what it could potentially mean to his defensive stocks, Pyke said: We will cross that bridge when we come to it.dddddddddddd.Talias uncharacteristic aggression on Petrie will also be examined though replays appeared inconclusive as to the force, and where the contact landed.The Crows can ill afford to lose either defender for their away clash against a Swans outfit seeking to respond to a heavy qualifying loss to Greater Western Sydney.(Beating North) is one step, the first step for us in terms of where wed like to take our finals campaign, Pyke said.And the next step is Sydney in Sydney so a terrific challenge.I saw only a bit of the (Sydney) game before we came to our game so I will have a look at them closely.But clearly they are going to be disappointed from the result and well expect a fired up Sydney next week.
