After having three teams in the poll last week, the ACC is now down to two. North Carolina dropped from No. 18 to only receiving one vote on the heels of losing four-straight games. Virginia remained at No. 3 after narrowly defeating both Michigan and Florida State. Duke rose from No. 17 to 15 following wins over No. 25 Ohio State and Boston College.

Three ACC teams sit in the "other receiving votes" section. Miami is effectively listed at No. 28, with their sole loss of the season coming against No. 13 Maryland. No. 29 Virginia Tech, who just defeated UNC, has only lost to College of Charleston. North Carolina is now No. 42.
