Relax, dude.  So far, the home team has won every game,
and there have been no major upsets.  So, for some
reason they scheduled the ACC at home for 4 of the first
5 games.

Besides, if you take out the waxing of Indiana, and
ignore Northwestern and Florida State (it's OK, they
ought to be used to it by now) you have three of the
best games ESPN has televised for a while.  I am not
upset that my conference lost two of those three
because they were all close late.  There's no shame in
losing a close game on the road against a good team
early in the season.  In fact, I'd argue it can help a team
way more than, say, beating APB by 70 points or so.
Just to pull a random example out of a hat...
