Clemson leads the ACC — but not by much

1. Clemson (7-0): One 58-point win is a start. Given the strength of the rest of the ACC, the Tigers are going to need the style points.

T2. UNC (6-1): If offense wins, the Heels will take the Coastal Division.

T2. Pitt (6-1): If luck wins, the Panthers will take the Coastal Division.

T2. Duke (6-1): If coaching wins, the Blue Devils will take the Coastal Division.

5. FSU (6-1): The depth of the Noles’ ineptitude on offense is staggering.

6. Miami (4-3): Let the coaching search begin.

7. Louisville (3-4): Should be 6-4 by Nov. 21 trip to Pitt.

8. Georgia Tech (3-5): The old “Block Six” works every time.

9. Virginia Tech (3-5): Sad way for the Frank Beamer era to play out.

10. N.C. State (5-2): One biennial Atlantic Division pitfall cleared, one to go.

T11. Virginia (2-5): Won’t be long before 2-5 turns into 2-10.

T11. Syracuse (3-4): Another close loss; Orange not going down without a fight.

T13. Wake Forest (3-5): A young offensive line is taking its lumps.

T13. Boston College (3-5): Just miserable team on offense.
