Virginia Tech Football: Updated ACC Football Standings After Week Twelve
Another week means another update in the ACC’s ever changing standings.

The Hokies were out on a bye in week twelve, but the landscape of the ACC still changed tremendously in that week.
No. 19 Louisville threw the game away against Stanford, and the Cardinal hit a 52-yard field goal as time expired to knock off Louisville 38-35.
After a late push by a Eli Holstein-less Pitt offense, Cade Klubnik silenced the Panthers’ hopes in a 24-20 win against Pitt.
The Syracuse Orange bounced back as underdogs against Cal, and won their away game against their new ACC foe.
