Not much changed this week in the ACC, but there is now a logjam of three-loss teams in the middle of the standings.

When it comes to Georgia Tech, the Yellow Jackets still find themselves near the bottom of the standings, only above the Louisville Cardinals.

At the top of the ACC standings are the team that Georgia Tech must face on Tuesday night and that is the Clemson Tigers. Clemson is perhaps the hottest team in the league right now and has a 16-4 record overall and 8-1 in the conference.

Virginia has lept back to second place with a 6-2 conference record and the Cavaliers have now won five games in a row. Boston College is the next opponent for Virginia and the likelihood of six straight wins is high.

After Clemson and Virginia, there are five teams with a 6-3 record. Miami, North Carolina, Pittsburgh, Wake Forest, and Syracuse are all tied together. The Hurricanes just lost on the road to Duke, while the Tar Heels have now won three games in a row.

The Blue Devils are 5-3 and just got a big home win over Miami. NC State and Florida State are next in the standings at 5-4 and then Boston College is 3-6.

The bottom of the ACC standings has the usual four suspects. Virginia Tech (1-7), Notre Dame (1-8), Tech (1-8), and Louisville make up the bottom of the standings.

In terms of big games this week, Syracuse hosts North Carolina on Tuesday, Wake Forest travels to Pittsburgh on Wednesday, and then a pair of big games are this Saturday. NC State travels to Wake Forest and Miami travels to Pittsburgh.
