Florida State Seminoles 4-6

Last week: Won 77-6 over Delaware State
Last rank: 10

I know it looks bad to have a 4-6 team in the Top 10 when it comes to these rankings, but it just goes to show two things: First, the Florida State Seminoles are a good team just missing their starting quarterback. Second, the ACC is getting weaker and weaker as the year goes on.

The Seminoles dominated Delaware State in a 77-6 trouncing in Week 12 and showed they can still put up some serious offense when needed. However, they’ll need to transfer that success to their battle with Florida on Saturday if they want to get going back up the rankings before they begin to wrap up this season.

Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 5-5

Last week: Lost 43-20 to Duke
Last rank: 6

In the biggest drop of this week, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets fall three spots after an embarrassing loss to the Duke Blue Devils last week and showed that they aren’t as good as we (or I) once thought they were.

The Yellow Jackets fell in their 43-20 loss over the weekend, and it goes to show how weak the ACC has been this year. This Georgia Tech squad was viewed pretty highly throughout the season and even held the sixth spot on the list just last week. Now, they’re sitting at 5-5 and getting ready to play a powerhouse in the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday.
