ATLANTIC

1. Florida State (9-0, 7-0) – Another week brings another win for the Seminoles, maintaining the team’s spot at No. 2 in the BCS standings. With a loss from Oregon this weekend, Florida State is a lock for the BCS National Championship if it can finish the season undefeated.

2. Clemson (8-1, 6-1) – Coming off a bye week, the Tigers have a BCS at-large bid in their sights. Currently ranked at No. 8, Clemson must face a tough Georgia Tech team on Saturday to keep their BCS bowl hopes alive, as an ACC Championship is impossible at this point.

3. Syracuse (5-4, 3-2) – A huge gap separates the top two teams in the Atlantic division from the rest of the field. That being said, the Orange stated its claim for the third spot in the division after travelling into Maryland and cruising by the Terrapins.

4. Boston College (5-4, 2-3) – In a game that was closer than expected, the Eagles beat New Mexico State thanks to 21 points in the fourth quarter. Boston College only needs one more win to become bowl eligible.

 5. Wake Forest (4-6, 2-5) – In the three weeks following an impressive win over Maryland on Oct. 19, the Demon Deacons have suffered three losses, with the latest being a 59-3 loss at the hands of Florida State on Saturday.

6. Maryland (5-4, 1-4) – The Terrapins have been one win away from bowl eligibility for nearly a month, but they cannot seem to earn a win in the ACC outside of a tight victory over Virginia. Maryland will travel to Blacksburg, Va., to take on Virginia Tech on Saturday.

7. N.C. State (3-6, 0-6) – High hopes after a 3-1 start have been diminished after the Wolfpack suffered its sixth straight loss against Duke on Saturday. With postseason play seeming farfetched at this point, State looks to finish the season strong, starting with Boston College on Saturday.

COASTAL

1. Georgia Tech (6-3, 5-2) – The Coastal division is wide open at this point in the season, and the Yellow Jackets currently hold the No. 1 spot. Coming off a bye, Georgia Tech looks to validate its high standing with an upset victory over No. 8 Clemson.

2. Duke (7-2, 3-2) – After falling to 2-2 with losses to Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, few would have predicted that the Blue Devils would respond with a five-game winning streak. After downing N.C. State in dramatic fashion, Duke looks to carry its momentum into Saturday’s matchup against No. 23 Miami.

3. Virginia Tech (7-3, 4-2) – With an impressive victory over then-No. 11 Miami, the Hokies gained a big win in terms of conference standing. However, having recently lost to Duke, Virginia Tech remains at No. 3 in the Coastal rankings.

4. Miami (7-2, 4-3) –The Hurricanes had to rely on last-second drives to beat Wake Forest and UNC-Chapel Hill. The Hurricanes were easily beaten by Florida State and Virginia Tech the next weeks. Miami may not be as good its record shows.

5. Pittsburgh (5-4, 2-3) – The Panthers shocked No. 23 Notre Dame on Saturday, scoring a go-ahead touchdown with 9:36 remaining in the game. Pittsburgh is now only one game away from bowl eligibility and looks to earn a victory against UNC-Chapel Hill on Saturday.

6. UNC-Chapel Hill (4-5, 3-3) – After a disappointing start that included a loss to East Carolina, the Tar Heels won three straight and are now only two victories away from postseason play. UNC-CH looks to extend its win streak as they travel to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

7. Virginia (2-8, 0-6) – The Cavaliers are spiraling out of control. The team has lost seven straight contests, including a 45-14 blowout at the hands of UNC-Chapel Hill. The road ahead is not any easier for Virginia, as its last two games are against No. 23 Miami and Virginia Tech.
