Winner: NC State (Up To 21st)

After dropping out of the AP top 25 a couple of weeks ago after losing to Miami, the Wolfpack is back and they still control their own destiny to win the ACC Atlantic and get to the conference championship.

NC State defeated Florida State on Saturday and now has the biggest game of the season Saturday against Wake Forest and the winner of that game will have control of who wins the Atlantic division.

NC State has been one of the most consistent teams all season in the ACC and they should be the favorites to win the division and possibly the conference. Quarterback Devin Leary has been one of the best quarterbacks that nobody is talking about and is good at taking care of the football.

Winner: Pitt (Up To 25)

Pitt has been a team that has been in and out of this column every week. After losing to Miami, the Panthers fell out of the rankings but bounced back nicely with a blowout win over a really bad Duke team. Pitt still controls its own destiny to win the ACC Coastal and quarterback Kenny Pickett is still playing like one of the best quarterbacks in the country.

The Panthers have a big game on Thursday against North Carolina at home and that could be the determining game of whether the Panthers can get to the ACC Championship. It is hard to trust the Panthers, but they have as good of a chance as anyone else in the conference.
