College Football Week 11 Rankings - ACC Power Poll
by Mike Rose
After ten weeks of the football gambling season, it’s starting to become clear who the haves and the have-nots are in the ACC. Check out how BetUS stacks up the teams for football handicappers…
1: Clemson Tigers (7-2 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 1) The Tigers tripped for a little bit, but used a big second half rally to put away Florida State and move within two wins of the ACC Championship game. They best keep their eye on the prize though, as going into Raleigh is never fun; especially when going up against a Wolfpack squad desperately in need of wins.
Up Next: Away @ North Carolina State (-6.5)
2: Boston College Eagles (6-2 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 3) The Eagles enjoyed their bye week and know that they just need to keep doing their job if they want to return to the ACC Championship game. A loss in any of these next three games will be lethal to their chances, but at least a bowl game is virtually guaranteed.
Up Next: Away @ Virginia (-5)
3: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-3 ATS, 9-1 SU) (LW: 2) In a week where a ton of carnage struck the Top-10 in the college football world, the Yellow Jackets survived a huge scare from Wake Forest to keep their very thin National Championship hopes alive. But before HC Paul Johnson can think about all of the marbles, he's going to first make sure the Ramblin' Wreck win the ACC. A loss to Duke this week would probably end ACC Coastal division dreams, but oddsmakers don’t foresee that happening.
Up Next: Away @ Duke (-10.5)
4: Miami Hurricanes (6-3 ATS, 7-2 SU) (LW: 5) The Hurricanes continued to put themselves in a position to capture their first ACC Championship when they obliterated UVA 52-17 on Saturday. This is still a dangerous schedule remaining, as Miami could just as easily finish the year 10-2 as it could 7-5. A loss to North Carolina this weekend would end all hopes for an ACC title.
Up Next: Away @ North Carolina (-3.5)
5: Duke Blue Devils (4-2-1 ATS, 5-4 SU) (LW: 4) The Dookies had their chance to stay alive in the ACC Coastal Division with a win over rival, North Carolina, but a bad fourth quarter really cost them big time. Somehow, they couldn't cover the spread either in spite of the fact that they were double-digit dogs. One more win is necessary to go bowling, but there isn't a game left on the schedule that Duke is expected to win.
Up Next: Home vs. Georgia Tech (+10.5)
6: North Carolina Tar Heels (4-4 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 7) Two weeks ago, Carolina was left for dead in the rough and tumble ACC Coastal Division. Now, the Heels have notched two straight victories and could legitimately play for the ACC title if they win out. A bowl bid is probably already in the bag. A victory over Miami would seal the deal if there’s any doubt.
Up Next: Home vs. Miami (+3.5)
And the rest…
7: Virginia Cavaliers (4-4 ATS, 3-6 SU) (LW: 6)
8: Wake Forest Demon Deacons (5-5 ATS, 4-6 SU) (LW: 8)
9: North Carolina State Wolfpack (4-4-1 ATS, 4-5 SU) (LW: 9)
10: Virginia Tech Hokies (4-5 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 10)
11: Maryland Terrapins (2-6-1 ATS, 2-7 SU) (LW: 11)
12: Florida State Seminoles (2-7 ATS, 4-5 SU) (LW: 12)
