That's because they weren't really good until after the Pitt game when the defense stopped clocking out for a quarter or a half each game.

Exactly. Strong starts are important. The highly aggressive scheduling by ACC teams makes that more difficult, and for whatever reasons, a lot of the better ACC teams get off to slower starts (Duke in 2013). And that does much less for the conference than the teams in the other conferences that go 8-0 and climb into the top five, and drop three of their last four. It is not fair that it's that way, but it is.
