Miami (14-3, 5-2) fell to NC State (14-4, 4-3) on the road in overtime on Saturday, but the pollsters still believe the Hurricanes are a top-20 team. The Canes dropped just one spot to 17th after beating Boston College (8-10, 2-5) at home early in the week and losing by just two to the Wolfpack.

Virginia (13-3, 5-2) despite losing to the Hurricanes earlier this season, is the top-ranked ACC team having the same number of losses. The Cavaliers are ranked 10th in the poll this week.

Clemson (15-3, 7-0) is the only other conference team ranked in the top 25. Duke (13-5, 4-3) was dropped from the poll after losing to Clemson by eight on the road Saturday.

The Blue Devils, Wake Forest (13-5, 5-2) Demon Deacon, North Carolina (12-6, 4-3) Tar Heels, Tigers, and Hurricanes are the only teams in the conference that remain undefeated at home.

FAU, ranked at 24, is the only other ranked team in the state of Florida.
