14. Pittsburgh (2-5, 1-3)
Last Week – 11
Lots of officiating controversy against Wake Forest, but other than that Louisville win, it has been a nightmare season for Pitt. It will continue with a game at Notre Dame.
13. Virginia (2-5, 1-2)
Last Week – 14
I said Virginia had no chance against UNC. I was totally wrong, and hats off to the Hoos for an inspired performance to wreck the Tar Heels. Can they do it again at resurgent Miami?
12. Georgia Tech (3-4, 2-2)
Last Week – 6
Each time Georgia Tech has a chance to step forward, they flounder in a game they were favored in. Their bowl hopes are likely dead, and now they get an angry set of Tar Heels coming to Atlanta.
11. Wake Forest (4-3, 1-3)
Last Week – 13
Wake Forest held off Pitt, but a Florida State team eyeing an ACC Championship Game and the playoffs is coming to town.
10. Syracuse (4-3, 0-3)
Last Week – 12
Syracuse at Virginia Tech is huge for each team’s bowl hopes. The toughest part of the Cuse’s schedule is behind them.
9. Clemson (4-3, 2-3)
Last Week – 4
Clemson wilted on both lines scrimmage late against Miami, in an ugly loss where QB Cade Klubnik goes rogue with a called play in 2 OT. It all smells rotten in Clemson and heading to equally desperate NC State will be a fight for a low-end bowl.
8. Virginia Tech (3-4, 2-1)
Last Week – 9
Could Virginia Tech be one of the ACC teams to emerge in the 2nd half? It starts with Syracuse on Thursday night.
7. NC State (4-3, 1-2)
Last Week – 6
We’re about to find out if NC State or Clemson is the bigger hot mess this weekend.
6. Boston College (4-3, 2-2)
Last Week – 10
Boston College QB Thomas Castellanos is quietly turning into one of the ACC’s biggest headaches at QB. This team is getting better, and now faces a winnable game against UCONN.
5. Miami (5-2, 2-2)
Last Week – 7
Miami has been a roller coaster this season, but coming back against Clemson showed something. Don’t underestimate Virginia, but win that and Miami can still have a nice season.
4. North Carolina (6-1, 3-1)
Last Week – 2
North Carolina has no excuse for getting outplayed by Virginia in a disaster of a game. How did Mack Brown not have his team ready for this one with so much on the line? Last year a similar loss to Georgia Tech derailed the season.
3. Duke (5-2, 2-1)
Last Week – 3
Duke gave a game effort against FSU, but without a healthy Leonard for the whole game, it was just too much to overcome. They need him against Louisville.
2. Louisville (6-1, 3-1)
Last Week – 5
If Louisville can beat Duke which won’t be easy no matter who plays QB, they can still target a double-digit win regular season and a trip to Charlotte.
1. Florida State (7-0, 5-0)
Last Week – 1
QB Jordan Travis makes a pretty good team and potentially a great one. The Noles should be able to get to the Miami game 9-0 with Wake Forest and Pittsburgh in between.
