1. Virginia Tech (3-1, 1-0). Massive win against Miami, and Tech has rocketed back up into the top 10 in both polls. There is little doubt that they are still the class of the conference.

2. Georgia Tech (3-1, 2-1). Got past a ranked UNC team with ease, and proved that they can bounce back from a crushing loss. This team is for real, despite the injuries.

3. Miami (2-1, 2-1). Back to reality for the Canes, but this team still has a very bright future. If they can beat a weakened Oklahoma this week, Miami could be back - for good.

4. North Carolina State (3-1, 0-0). Battling back from a deficit is never easy, but NC State showed they were up to the challenge against Pitt. They have looked very good since their slop-fest against South Carolina.

5. Clemson (2-2, 1-1). TCU is a tough team, but Clemson looked ready for the challenge and played well enough to win. With Florida State reeling, it looks like the Atlantic Division is Clemson's to lose right now.

6. North Carolina (3-1, 0-1). Bitter pill to swallow last week after getting rocked by an angry Georgia Tech team. The Heels have the benefit of going up against UVA and FCS Georgia Southern back-to-back to get back on track.

7. Boston College (3-1, 1-1). Every time I want to count this team out, they prove me wrong. The Eagles introduced a little Wildcat formation last week, and pulled out a huge OT win against Wake Forest.

8. Florida State (2-2, 0-1). The Seminoles are really struggling this year, and it's surprising given the expectations preseason. Their next game against BC could be a season-defining moment for both teams.

9. Wake Forest (2-2, 0-1). No one expected the Deacs to compete this season, but they had a chance to prove the doubters wrong against BC and failed to capitalize. It could be a long year in Winston-Salem.

10. Dook (2-2, 0-0). The Blue Devils finished their out-of-conference schedule at .500, which isn't terrible. What is terrible is the fact that one of those losses came to FCS Richmond, and it won't get easier with the ACC schedule approaching.

11. Maryland (1-3, 0-0). The Terps lost again, this time to a mediocre Rutgers team that has looked at times completely lost on the football field. This could be the end of the Friedgen era in College Park.

12. Virginia (0-3, 0-0). Good news: the Cavs didn't lose last week. Bad news: Virginia had a bye week. If the 'Hoos can somehow find a way to beat UNC this week, then all hope may not be lost for the season. But I wouldn't hold my breath.
