Week 3 of the college football season gets underway with a classic ACC showdown between NC State and Wake Forest.

Both teams are 2-0 out of the gate, but neither side has faced a stiff test just yet.

The ACC has a completely different feel to it than it did just a couple of weeks ago, thanks to Clemson's struggles.

That has left the door open for a team like NC State to crash the party.

The Wolfpack have some things to work out defensively, but they've got a potential star-in-the-making at quarterback and are led by an experienced coach in Dave Doeren.

Don't be surprised if NC State is one of many teams in the mix when we get to the business end of the season.
