October is ending and the early signing period is getting closer and closer for college football recruiting. In the ACC, not much has changed in the team rankings for the 2025 class, but this next month could have some surprises and teams are vying for strong finishes.

Georgia Tech has been holding the No. 2 spot in the 247Sports team rankings for some time, but they are going to have to hold on to the commits they have. Prospects like four-star safety Rasean Dinkins (who has been getting predictions to flip to Georgia) and four star offensive tackle Damola Ajidahun are getting pursued by big time programs and Brent Key and his staff will have to work hard to keep them. They are also working on adding prospects to the class. Keep an eye on the Yellow Jackets.

Miami has held the No. 1 spot in the conference since the summer and with the season that the Hurricanes are having, it seems likely that they will have the top class in the ACC for the third straight season.

Clemson and SMU are right behind Georgia Tech for No.2, but there is some seperation after that and I don't think anyone is going to unseat the top four.

Duke, Syracuse, Stanford, Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, and NC State round out the top ten. After them, Florida State checks in at No. 11 and the Seminoles have been in a free fall with the season that they are having. FSU has had several prospects de-commit from the program over the course of the last few weeks and there might be more to come.

Boston College, Virginia, Wake Forest, Cal, North Carolina, and Louisville round out the rest of the ACC. North Carolina is another school that is currently losing commits to other schools and it has put them near the bottom of the conference.
