In the absence of major national polls focused on the Atlantic Coast Conference, Rivals publishers have taken upon ourselves to fill the void.

Virginia Tech comes in fifth according to ACC publishers, with three Atlantic Division teams ahead, as well as Coastal foe Pittsburgh. Clemson and the Hokies are the top two teams who did not garner a first-place vote from any publisher.

If Virginia Tech can take care of Notre Dame this weekend - and possibly even if the Hokies fall to the Irish - next weekend's game will likely be between the top two teams in the Coastal, as Pitt is on a bye this weekend.
