College Football Week 10 Rankings - ACC Power Poll
by Mike Rose

Through nine weeks of the college football betting season, it’s become clear who the haves and have-nots are in the ACC. Check out how BetUS stacks up the teams for football handicappers…
1: Clemson Tigers (6-2 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 1) The Tigers beat down Coastal Carolina Saturday afternoon by a 49-3 final tally to grab their 6th and bowl clinching victory. The schedule gets tougher next weekend vs. a revitalized Noles squad. A victory against Florida State would put HC Dabo Swinney’s kids in a great position to win the ACC Atlantic.
Up Next: Home vs. Florida State (-8.5)
2: Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (6-2 ATS, 8-1 SU) (LW: 2) No one is talking about the Jackets this year, but without a doubt, HC Paul Johnson has the best team in the ACC in ‘09. The Ramblin' Wreck rolled into Vandy and crippled the Commodores 56-31 on Saturday, rushing for 404 yards in the process. That's six covers for G-Tech, who probably won't lose another game in the regular season. With some luck, there's an outside shot that a National Championship could still be in play with convincing wins.
Up Next: Home vs. Wake Forest (-14.5)
3: Boston College Eagles (6-2 ATS, 6-3 SU) (LW: 4) The Eagles are going bowling after they beat Central Michigan 31-10 on Saturday afternoon. There's still no respect for this BC team even though it’s leading the ACC Atlantic right now, as it was only favored by 5.5 points against a MAC team. Three more wins and a Clemson loss somewhere along the way will have the Eagles playing for a spot in the Orange Bowl.
Up Next: Bye
4: Duke Blue Devils (4-1-1 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 5) Shhhhh! The Dookies control their own destiny in the ACC Coastal! It's hard to imagine that a team that lost to Richmond in its first game of the season can still win a BCS conference this late in the season, but somehow, some way, Duke finds itself in the driver’s seat. A win in Chapel Hill this Saturday would accomplish a huge feat, as the Blue Devils would be going bowling for the first time since 1994.
Up Next: Away @ North Carolina (+7.5)
5: Miami Hurricanes (5-3 ATS, 6-2 SU) (LW: 3) It only happened by the skin of their teeth, but the Canes survived a trip to Winston-Salem and ultimately pulled out a 28-27 victory against the Deacons. Wake Forest gave Miami all it could handle and covered the spread without any difficulties, but the 'W' for HC Randy Shannon has Miami thinking about a birth in a solid bowl game even if it can't win the conference.
Up Next: Home vs. Virginia (-13)
6: Virginia Cavaliers (4-3 ATS, 3-5 SU) (LW: 6) If Virginia had any hopes of going bowling, those hopes were smashed at home in a 28-17 loss to Duke on Saturday. It's still possible, but it seems awfully unlikely that HC Al Groh's team is winning three of its L/4 against Miami, Boston College, Clemson, and Virginia Tech.
Up Next: Away @ Miami (+13)
And the rest…
7: North Carolina Tar Heels (3-4 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 8)
8: Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-5 ATS, 4-5 SU) (LW: 9)
9: North Carolina State Wolfpack (3-4-1 ATS, 3-5 SU) (LW: 10)
10: Virginia Tech Hokies (3-5 ATS, 5-3 SU) (LW: 7)
11: Maryland Terrapins (2-5-1 ATS, 2-6 SU) (LW: 11)
12: Florida State Seminoles (2-6 ATS, 4-4 SU) (LW: 12)
