New AP Poll: ACC Maintains Five Teams, UNC Moves Up

Not a ton of movement in this week's AP poll. All top eight teams remain with the only movement coming from Tennessee moving into a tie with Ohio State for the number two spot. The move sets up a 1 vs. 2 matchup next week with Georgia and the Volunteers.

Clemson, the top-ranked ACC team, was on a bye this week and remains ranked 5th. Miami still has the Tigers left on the schedule, the lone ranked team left.

The next highest-ranked ACC team is North Carolina coming in at 17th moving four spots in the poll. The Tar Heels defeated Pitt 42-24 to improve to 7-1 on the season. UNC is the only ranked team Miami's played this season.

Wake Forest and Syracuse both suffered their second loss of the season. The Demon Deacons were embarrassed by Louisville 48-21. The Cardinals forced eight turnovers in the win. Wake Forest dropped ten spots to 20th.

Syracuse suffered a 41-24 letdown loss to Notre Dame after a hard-fought loss to Clemson in the prior week. Syracuse dropped six spots to 22nd.

NC State needed an 18-point comeback to beat Virginia Tech on Thursday night. The win kept the Wolfpack ranked in the Top-25 at 21.

The first edition of the College Football Playoff Poll will be released Tuesday.
