Another week of ACC football is in the books, and there are still just two teams in the conference with more than two losses. Clemson and NC State are pretty much done in the Atlantic Division, but every other team in the league has a chance to play its way to Tampa.

Florida State knocked off Virginia Tech 30-20 in Tallahassee on Saturday afternoon. The Seminoles knocked Tyrod Taylor out of the game on the first play, and then Sean Glennon joined him on the bench in the third quarter. The Hokies had to finish the game with third string quarterback Cory Holt.

FSU held the Hokies to 243 yards of total offense, and although they gained just 248 yards of their own, it was enough. Defensive end Everette Brown had a huge game, finishing with three sacks.

The 'Noles now have a great shot to win the Atlantic Division for the first time since 2005. They are playing better football than anyone else in the Atlantic at this point.

• Offensive MVP: Greg Carr. 3 catches, 100 yards
• Defensive MVP: Everette Brown. 5 tackles, 4 TFL, 3 sacks

Maryland kicked a 20 yard field goal with six seconds remaining to defeat NC State 27-24 in College Park on Saturday. As a result of the win, the Terps are now tied with Florida State for the lead in the Atlantic Division. Maryland isn't the most impressive team, but they are figuring out ways to win.

The Terps got outgained 342 to 329 against NC State, but a strong running game behind Da'Rel Scott and Davin Meggett propelled them to the victory.

If the Terps can win their next game at Virginia Tech, they'll really open some eyes around the conference.

• Offensive MVP: Da'Rel Scott. 23 carries, 163 yards, 1 touchdown
• Defensive MVP: Alex Wujciak. 15 tackles

BC had won two ACC games in a row, but their luck ended on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. The Eagles were crushed by North Carolina 45-24. BC jumped out to a 10-0 lead, and then scored the final touchdown of the game. In between those scores, UNC outscored them 45-7.

BC finally played a team that could exploit their weakness: pass defense. The Eagles allowed 238 yards through the air, and Hakeem Nicks had three receiving touchdowns. Chris Crane threw three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown.

The Eagles are still in contention for the Atlantic Division crown, but they'll have to play better down the stretch and take better care of the football.

• Offensive MVP: James McCluskey. 8 catches, 58 yards
• Defensive MVP: Mark Herzlich. 8 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 sack

The offensive struggles continue for Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons scored 10 points in the first 17 minutes of the game, but couldn't get it done the rest of the game. As a result, they lost to Miami 16-10 on the road on Saturday afternoon.

The running game had been holding Wake Forest back earlier in the season. This time they got 111 yards from Josh Adams and another 54 yards from Brandon Pendergrass. However, the Demon Deacons didn't even try to establish a passing game. Riley Skinner was just 3-of-8 for 57 yards. He was carrying the team earlier this year.

Wake has now scored just 34 points in four conference games. Their anemic offense will ultimately cost them a shot at the Atlantic Division crown.

• Offensive MVP: Josh Adams. 21 carries, 111 yards
• Defensive MVP: Aaron Curry. 6 tackles, 3 TFL, 1 sack, 1 pass defended

Clemson was off this week.

NC State is perhaps the most hard luck team in the ACC, losing three conference games in a row by a total of 19 points. The Wolfpack dropped a road game to Maryland 27-24 on Saturday. They are just too young, inexperienced and injury depleted to win close games in the fourth quarter.

The Wolfpack is getting very good play from r-freshman quarterback Russell Wilson. He was 18-of-28 for 187 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions. For the season, Wilson is completing over 57% of his passes for 900 yards, with eight touchdowns and just one interception.

NC State isn't going bowling this year, but the continued development of Wilson is critical for the future.

• Offensive MVP: Russell Wilson. 18-of-28, 187 yards, 2 touchdowns. 53 rushing yards.
• Defensive MVP: Ray Michel. 7 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 pass broken up

At one point this season, Virginia was 1-3 with blowout losses to USC, UConn and Duke. Now they are in first place in the Coastal Division after ripping off four straight wins. Their latest victim was Georgia Tech in Atlanta. The Hoos won that game 24-17 on Saturday afternoon.

The UVA offense, after being horrible early in the season, is starting to come together. They put up 396 yards against Georgia Tech, while their defense shut down the Yellow Jacket option attack for most of the day.

Virginia now looks like a legit contender for the Coastal Division title. They have tiebreakers over UNC and Georgia Tech, the other two main contenders.

• Offensive MVP: Marc Verica. 29-of-39, 270 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions
• Defensive MVP: Clint Sintim. 4 tackles, 3 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble

Up Next: Miami, Saturday, November 1, Noon, Raycom

Georgia Tech finally dropped another game on Saturday, falling from first place in the Coastal Division. They lost to a resurgent UVA team 24-17 at home. They could not stop UVA from running the ball or throwing it, and they couldn't pick up yardage consistently against a stout UVA defense.

Georgia Tech still has a shot at the Coastal Division, but they've now lost the head-to-head tiebreaker to UVA and Virginia Tech. They still have to play Miami and North Carolina, the other contenders in the Coastal.

• Offensive MVP: Roddy Jones. 11 carries, 75 yards
• Defensive MVP: Morgan Burnett. 11 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 interception

North Carolina rebounded from their loss to UVA by pounding Boston College 45-24 in Chapel Hill. This game was never as close as the score indicated. The Tar Heels overwhelmed Boston College with superior athletes, and Hakeem Nicks is the first receiver this year that has been able to take advantage of a weak Eagle secondary.

Nicks scored three receiving touchdowns against BC, and Cam Sexton had a solid day at quarterback. UNC's defensive speed was too much for quarterback Chris Crane, who was picked off three times for the second week in a row.

UNC still has a shot in the Coastal Division, but they have already lost the head-to-head tiebreakers against Virginia and Virginia Tech.

• Offensive MVP: Hakeem Nicks. 8 catches, 139 yards, 3 touchdowns. 3 carries, 31 yards 1 rushing touchdown.
• Defensive MVP: Kendrick Burney. 8 tackles, 1 TFL, 2 interceptions, 1 pass broken up

Up Next: Bye, then Georgia Tech, Saturday, November 8

Miami is still hanging around in competition for the Coastal Division after knocking off Wake Forest 16-10 on Saturday. The 'Canes still have to play Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech and NC State, and three of those games are on the road. It's unlikely that Miami will get through that unscathed, so a Coastal Division title seems like a longshot at this point.

Miami was back to two quarterbacks, playing both Robert Marve and Jacory Harris. Neither was very effective through the air, though both are capable of making plays with their feet. In the end, it was Wake Forest's incompetent offense that cost them this game.

• Offensive MVP: Robert Marve. 11-of-22 for 153 yards. 9 carries for 56 yards and 1 touchdown
• Defensive MVP: Adewale Ojomo. 6 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble

Virginia Tech lost a tough 30-20 contest at Florida State on Saturday. It was the second time in as many weeks that the Hokies have been up 10-0 early, but failed to win the game. In all three losses, VT has been up by double digits and hasn't been able to come away with the win.

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor went down with a high ankle sprain on the first play. Sean Glennon came in and gave the team a spark, but he was knocked out as well early in the third quarter. Third string quarterback Cory Holt played well considering he hasn't had any reps since August (he's also second string wide receiver), but it wasn't enough.

The Tech defense held FSU to 248 yards of total offense, but the 'Noles were able to take advantage of good field position on several occasions to score.

Virginia Tech will still win the Coastal Division if they win their last four games of the season.

• Offensive MVP: Sean Glennon. 9-of-16, 133 yards, 1 rushing touchdown
• Defensive MVP: Jason Worilds. 5 tackles, 2 TFL, 1 sack

Up Next: Bye, then Maryland, Thursday, November 6, 7:30pm, ESPN

Duke came away with a huge 10-7 win at Vanderbilt on Saturday. That victory keeps their bowl hopes alive for 2008. The Blue Devil defense held Vanderbilt to 291 yards of total offense. With their fourth victory of the season, Duke needs just two more wins to become bowl eligible.

Duke's remaining schedule looks like this: at Wake Forest, NC State, at Clemson, at Virginia Tech, North Carolina. If the Blue Devils can find a way to win two of those games, they should be in a bowl for the first time since 1994.

• Offensive MVP: Thaddeus Lewis. 21-of-36 for 222 yards, 1 touchdown
• Defensive MVP: Ayanga Okpokowuruk. 7 tackles, 2 TFL, 2 sacks
