Virginia Tech’s season is half over, and the Hokies are going into their bye week at just the right time. Today we’ll take a closer look at the ACC race as whole. Things are still open to a certain extent, though in reality only five teams have a legit shot at winning the conference.

Let’s start with the Atlantic Divisionā€¦

Atlantic Division

Clemson is in first place, and though they were picked to finish second, it’s really no surprise to see them at the top of the standings. As expected, Boston College is in last place. There are a couple of major surprises though. NC State, picked fourth, is 3-0 and has aspirations to win the division. Florida State, picked first, is 1-3 overall and 1-2 in the ACC. Their lone win came in a very close game against Wake Forest. The Seminoles are extremely close to being winless.
