13. Syracuse Orange
It would seem that a blowout win against Clemson in Death Valley would lead to a higher ranking for Syracuse, but considering how poorly Clemson has looked, it doesn't help their odds.
Not to mention that the Orange lost their starting quarterback last week due to injury, and the icing on it all was losing to Duke at home by 35 points. If the Orange can turn things around, they could still have a solid season, but yesterday's performance has me very worried for Fran Brown's squad.
12. Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Wake Forest looked to be a bottom dweller in the ACC yet again this year, but they are showing that they can put up a fight against teams, none better than how they took No. 16-ranked Georgia Tech to overtime yesterday afternoon.
The only thing keeping the Demon Deacons above Clemson is their fight against other teams, akin to the likes of Syracuse, which Clemson was blown out by. Taking Georgia Tech and NC State down to the wire was more impressive than what the Tigers have done in the past three weeks.
