1. Georgia Tech (10-1, 7-1). After (officially) clinching last week, ticket sales for the ACC Championship Game started to steadily increase in the Atlanta area. The Yellow Jackets have looked virtually unstoppable all year (save for a fluke game against Miami). Last Week: 1

2. Clemson (7-3, 5-2). This team continues to do what other Clemson teams had never been able to do under former head coach Tommy Bowden - live up to expectations, win big games, and take care of business. If Clemson wins next week (regardless of what Boston College does at home against North Carolina), they will clinch the ACC Atlantic division. Last Week: 3

3. Virginia Tech (7-3, 4-2). Beating Maryland should not have been hard for this team, and the Hokies proved that they are still a force in the ACC after winning back-to-back conference games. Redshirt freshman RB Ryan Williams is a lock for the ACC Newcomer of the Year, and has been since about Week 4. Last Week: 4

4. North Carolina (7-3, 3-3). In the league's best game last week, the Tar Heels came out with a wild victory over Miami. The win made them bowl-eligible for the second consecutive season (something not done since Mack Brown was the coach), and current coach Butch Davis has yet to lose to his former team since his arrival in Chapel Hill. Last Week: 6

5. Miami (7-3, 4-3). Hurricanes fans have to be disappointed. Although they needed a lot of outside help, going into last week's game they still had an outside shot at a BCS berth. Now they are looking at bowl games like the Music City Bowl and the Champs Sports Bowl instead of the Cotton Bowl or the Sugar Bowl. Last Week: 2

6. Boston College (7-3, 4-2). This team needs to get it together. The Eagles pulled out a victory last week, but no one should need a last-second effort to beat a Virginia team who has looked average at best all season. With a hot UNC team coming into town, BC needs to collectively improve if they want to pull out another victory. Last Week: 5

7. Florida State (5-5, 3-4). Head coach Bobby Bowden can hold out hope for one more week that his 27-season bowl streak will continue. The Seminoles play Maryland this week, and barring a cataclysmic collapse they should come out with a victory, which would catapult them into postseason play. Last Week: 8

8. Dook (5-5, 3-3). Definitely a humbling loss for the Blue Devils, but they were up 10-0 early in the game and had it under control. This program has come a long way in two short seasons, and with more talent on both sides of the ball coming in next year, Dook might not be the doormat that everyone has grown accustomed to seeing. They can also still go to a bowl game with one more victory. Last Week: 7

9. Wake Forest (4-7, 2-5). Though this team has been eliminated from postseason play, they can still play spoiler to a very good Dook football team, and eliminate them from bowl eligibility if the Blue Devils lose to Miami this week. That could be enough for the Deacs to steal one. Last Week: 9

10. Virginia (3-7, 2-4). Officially eliminated from bowl participation, this Cavaliers program has to be wondering what direction it's going in. They had just one quality win this year (against an injury-depleted UNC), and their only other ACC win was against Maryland. They played well against BC, but in the end this team just could not finish. Last Week: 11

11. NC State (4-6, 1-5). The Wolfpack cannot go to a bowl game this season after their loss last week to Clemson, but they can still make Virginia Tech and UNC look a little worse by winning both remaining games. It's definitely a tall task, but State has been tough to beat in November under coach Tom O'Brien. Injuries have clearly robbed this team of a chance to compete this year. Last Week: 10

12. Maryland (2-8, 1-5). No chance against a more talented Virginia Tech team last week for the Terrapins. I'm starting to run out of things to say about Maryland; they have been so bad all year, it's a wonder that there are little to no rumors about a potential coaching change in College Park. Last Week: 12
