ACC Atlantic Division              Coastal Division

Florida State  4-1                    Virginia Tech 4-0
NC State 3-1                          Miami 3-1
Maryland 2-1                          Georgia Tech 3-2
Clemson 2-2                           North Carolina 2-2
Wake Forest 1-3                    Virginia 0-3

The Atlantic Division winner plays the Coastal Division winner on December 4th in Charlotte, North Carolina in the ACC championship game.

In order for Florida State to win their division, FSU needs to win it's remaining ACC games against North Carolina, Clemson, and Maryland. The Seminoles must also hope for an NC State loss. The Wolfpack still have to play @Clemson, Wake Forest, @North Carolina, and @Maryland. If the Wolfpack drops one of these games and the Seminoles win-out, FSU will represent the Atlantic Division in Charlotte. Anything can happen in the Atlantic Division these days.
