Last season, four ACC teams tested themselves by traveling to some of college football’s most storied and successful programs: Florida State played at Oklahoma, Clemson visited Auburn, Maryland went to West Virginia, and Miami made the trip to Ohio State. Although Clemson sent eventual national champion, Auburn, to overtime, the four ACC teams lost by a combined 59 points. This weekend, those same four teams will carry the conference torch by taking on their exact powerhouse opponents from last season – only this time, all of the games are on ACC territory.

Atlantic Division

Maryland (1-0, 1-0 ACC):  Sensational in his season debut, Terps QB Danny O’Brien now has to face No. 18 West Virginia and its stellar defense. The Mountaineers have only allowed 156 pass yards per game, and finished third in the nation for total defense last season.

Last Week: Idle

This Week: vs. No. 18 West Virginia (Noon, ESPNU )

Wake Forest (1-1, 1-0 ACC):  Gardner-Webb arrives to BB&T Field, which should mean the Deacs are one baby step closer to making a run at bowl eligibility. If Tanner Price (152.2 QB rating in the first two games) continues at his current rate, anything is possible.

Last Week: Wake Forest 34, N.C . State 27

This Week: vs. Gardner-Webb (6:30 p.m ., ESPN3.com )

Clemson (2-0, 0-0 ACC):  Despite nearly tripping on its own shoelaces last Saturday versus Wofford , Clemson hosts No. 21 Auburn as the favorite in Death Valley. In the battle of two orange-clad Tigers, Clemson will be looking to snap a 14-game losing streak versus Auburn, which dates back to 1951.

Last Week: Clemson 35, Wofford 27

This Week: vs. No. 21 Auburn (Noon, ABC)

#5 Florida State (2-0, 0-0 ACC):  They’ve had the Sooners circled on the calendar for the past year, and on Saturday night they finally get No. 1 Oklahoma at home. ‘Noles quarterback E.J . Manual has displayed potential to play in big games, but Florida State hasn’t defeated Oklahoma in 46 years.

Last Week: Florida State 62, Charleston Southern 10

This Week: vs. No. 1 Oklahoma (8 p.m., ABC)

Boston College (0-2, 0-0 ACC):  Heading into the easiest game of its schedule, BC desperately needs to pick up wins to hang around the bowl eligibility discussion. The Eagles, who will get Duke, UMass, and Wake at home in the next three weeks, have seen their traditionally vaunted rush defense plummet to 110th   in the country.

Last Week: Central Florida 30, Boston College 3

This Week: vs. Duke (12:30 p.m., ESPN3.com)

N.C . State (1-1, 0-1 ACC):  The eye test tells us State’s defense has been atrocious and the stats agree – The Wolfpack has allowed 14 plays from scrimmage to go for 20 or more yards, which is good for third worst in the nation. Although only one of its two FCS victories can count towards the bowl eligibility win total, N.C. State jumps out of conference to play South Alabama.

Last Week: Wake Forest 34, N.C. State 27

This Week: vs. South Alabama (6 p.m., ESPN3.com)

Coastal Division

Georgia Tech (2-0, 0-0 ACC):  Leading the nation in yards per play, the Rambling Wreck has turned heads across the country with a more balanced attack throughout the first two games. Tech quarterback Tevin Washington, the commander of an option-read offense, will head into Saturday’s game against Kansas with an unusual early season stat – Washington has averaged 22.52 yards per passing attempt.

Last Week: Georgia Tech 49, Middle Tennessee State 21

This Week: vs. Kansas (12:30 p.m., ESPN3.com)

North Carolina (2-0, 0-0 ACC): The Heels launch into ACC play at home against the Virginia Cavaliers. With five turnovers in a chaotic win over Rutgers, UNC and quarterback Bryn Renner need to take care of the football against UVA.

Last Week: North Carolina 24, Rutgers 22

This Week: vs. Virginia (3:30 p.m., ESPNU)

Virginia (2-0, 0-0 ACC):  A thrilling last-second victory at Indiana has Charlottesville in a buzz. Criticized in past years for having a weak secondary, the Hoos are currently the conference’s second best pass defense. However, the most important mission in Chapel Hill is to generate some rush offense against an athletic front seven which allowed precisely one rushing yard to Rutgers last week.

Last Week: Virginia 37, Indiana 34

This Week: at North Carolina (3:30 p.m., ESPNU)

#13 Virginia Tech (2-0, 0-0 ACC):  The Hokies didn’t make it look easy in a hard fought win at ECU, but Frank Beamer picked up his 200th career victory nonetheless. Staying alive as a dark horse national title contender, Virginia Tech moves in on non-conference play with warm-up games against the Sun Belt and C-USA.

Last Week: Virginia Tech 17, East Carolina 10

This Week: vs. Arkansas State (4 p.m., ESPN3.com)

Duke (0-2, 0-0 ACC):  It’s not the most compelling match up the ACC has to offer this season, but the loser of Duke’s contest against Boston College will likely be watching bowl season from their respective living rooms.

Last Week: Stanford 44, Duke 14

This Week: at Boston College (12:30 p.m., ESPN3.com)

Miami (0-1, 0-1 ACC):  Being dubbed by much of the nation as “The Ineligible Bowl,” Miami hosts Ohio State down in South Florida. NCAA suspensions aside, the watered-down version of ‘Canes vs. Buckeyes should give the country a great indication of where each program is headed this season.

Last Week: Idle

This Week: vs. No. 17 Ohio State (7:30 p.m., ESPN)
