Atlantic Coast
Conference
Atlantic Division:
Clemson, Louisville, Wake Forest
Clemson can lock up the ACC Atlantic title by winning
their next two games, which come against Pitt at home, and Wake Forest on the
road. If Clemson can get this done, the Tigers will cruise into the ACC title
game, as they had already beaten Louisville. A win over Wake Forest would
eliminate them.
Louisville would need two losses from Clemson to steal
the Atlantic title, and would absolutely need to win out at the same time to
not only achieve that end, but also still be alive for consideration in the
national semifinals. Louisville would also need someone other than Clemson to
lose in that group to ensure their appearance.
Wake Forest is still alive, technically, but needs
multiple losses by both Clemson and Louisville to get by and somehow steal the
division. They could be eliminated by the end of this coming week, as the
Deacons get Louisville on the road, followed by Clemson at home the following
week.
Coastal Division:
North Carolina, Virginia Tech
The Hells and Hokies are tied at the top of the Coastal,
but UNC needs a Virginia Tech loss, and needs to win out at this point to win
the division. The Hokies have already beaten the Tar Heels 34-3, and therefore
own the tiebreaker. UNC has Duke and NC State left in conference play, and also
has a game outside of conference against FCS member Citadel, while Virginia
Tech has league tilts against Georgia Tech and Virginia sandwiched around a non
con Notre Dame game. Neither team can afford a slip moving forward, but UNC can
afford it the least.
Bowl Eligible:
Clemson, Louisville, Wake Forest, Florida State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech
Bowl Ineligible: Virginia
