Four ACC schools are still in the rankings, but two teams dropped out.  Last week, Syracuse was ranked No. 20, but they are in the same boat as the Deacs after a 19-9 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday. NC State made a big six spot jump after their ranked win over their in-state rival. Clemson fell six spots after getting dominated 35-14 by Notre Dame, and Florida State joined the rankings after a 45-3 decimation of Miami. Wake Forest's opponent this Saturday, the North Carolina Tar Heels, slid up two spots after beating Virginia 31-28.
