College Football Rankings 2016: Projected AP Top 25 after Week 11

Virginia Tech was toppled by Georgia Tech at home, one of several ACC contenders to fall victim to upsets over Week 11. The Hokies got nearly 400 combined yards and three touchdowns from Jerod Evans, but the quarterback also threw two interceptions and nearly lost a fumble as they played from behind against the Yellow Jackets all day. The visitors racked up over 300 rushing yards with their triple-option offense, building an 11-minute advantage in possession to secure the win.

Given all the other chaos this weekend, the Hokies probably won’t drop all the way out of the AP Top 25 since they still remain atop the ACC Atlantic standings. The voters will probably adjust to put Virginia Tech ahead of a North Carolina team that also lost, since the Hokies hold a head-to-head advantage over the Tar Heels in the division race. The loss relegates Justin Fuente’s team largely to a spoiler role for the rest of the regular season, especially if they hold on to reach the ACC championship game in Orlando.
