ACC, College Football Playoff
Digest more
With just one week left in the regular season, multiple teams are still vying for spots in their respective conference title games.
How will the ACC's showing in Week 13 be reflected in the updated US LBM Coaches Poll and AP Top 25 rankings? Here's what to know.
ACC chaos reached new levels following Pittsburgh's 42-28 win at Georgia Tech and now, mass shakeup in the Week 14 Coaches Poll top 25 rankings follows. Pitt re-entered Sunday's latest rankings at No. 24, with the Panthers being one of five ACC teams to garner a position along with Miami, Virginia, Georgia Tech and newcomer, SMU.
SMU and Virginia have emerged as the frontrunners to compete in the ACC championship game. Per ESPN, both schools have over an 80% chance of making the ACC title game, with SMU holding an 86% chance to do so.
The chaos of the ACC football season continues, as Virginia lost to Wake Forest, which puts five teams in play for a conference title bid. Clemson gave Florida State a shiner in a fight between two wounded giants of the ACC, and conference newcomer Cal shocked Louisville in overtime.
With one week before conference championship weekend, every league has a College Football Playoff problem after Week 13.
Oregon returned to the top five of The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll Sunday, while five ACC teams were ranked for the second time this season.
Georgia Tech dropped in the rankings after a loss which opens a clear path back to the ACC Championship for the Mustangs.
The Group of Five is no cakewalk either. Tulane and Navy can reach the American title game by winning out but North Texas can get in if it wins and Navy loses to either Memphis or Army. Tulane was the only Group of Five team in the committee's last rankings, so James Madison needs the Green Wave to lose in order to have a shot at the CFP.
