Overview
- Georgia Tech rallied past Boston College and will secure a berth by beating Pitt, locking in at 7-1 in league play.
- Virginia strengthened its position by defeating Duke and would clinch with a win over Virginia Tech plus an SMU loss and a Pitt loss under the league’s outlined scenarios.
- Miami stayed alive with a 41-7 rout of NC State and can still reach Charlotte by winning out with specific results elsewhere, with a win-out also keeping open the possibility of multiple ACC bids to the 12-team CFP.
- Pitt’s 37-15 loss to Notre Dame damaged its margin but the Panthers can still qualify by beating Georgia Tech and Miami coupled with the right SMU and Virginia outcomes; SMU’s path requires winning out and targeted losses by Virginia plus results involving Pitt and Miami.
- The ACC will apply its ordered tiebreakers—including head-to-head, common opponents and, if needed, a SportSource Analytics Team Rating Score—to resolve any multi-team ties for the Dec. 6 championship in Charlotte.
