ACC Data Spotlight: NC State Wolfpack

Model Anchor: Low Variance

Season Context: 8-5 Overall | #7 in ACC SRS

NC State's box score tells a story of a team whose record undersells its underlying efficiency. Despite a −20.7 net yards/game differential across the full slate, the Wolfpack graded out as one of the ACC's most stable performers — a team our models flag for low week-to-week variance thanks to elite ball security and consistently sharp passing efficiency.
