Another week of ACC Football, another round of Coastal Division Power Rankings

Clarity.

That is what Week 10 was all about. Just a week after the CFP released their first rankings, teams started to make things a little more clear.

Lets start with the Big Ten. Wisconsin made things clear by beating Northwestern. That coupled with Nebraska losing makes the Badgers the team to beat in the Big Ten West. Though Minnesota could still win if they were to win out as well.

The West also saw some clarity with Michigan and Ohio State winning big. It is looking more and more clear that “The Game” will determine the East. That is unless Penn State wins out causing a three-way tie for first.

In the Pac-12, a week after getting slammed by the committee, Washington slammed the door on California. The North is the Apple Cup’s to lose now. Meanwhile, the south is most likely going to be Utah or Colorado. USC though is coming on strong and you can never count out the Trojans.

In the Big 12 clarity comes in the form of exclusion. The more the Big 12 plays the more clear it becomes they are going to miss the playoffs for the second season in a row.

In the SEC, the biggest clarity is that the West will win the conference. The East could still be won by a Kentucky team that has lost four games already this season. Meanwhile the West looks to be coming down to the Iron Bowl once again. Auburn and Alabama continue to win and are making the final week a killer one.

All that leaves is ACC football.

The Atlantic got a little more clarity as the best two teams are Clemson and Louisville. Clemson will clinch the Atlantic if they win next week. Louisville is the best chance for the ACC to get two teams in the playoffs.

Even the Coastal got some clarity this week. So with that all done, let’s delve into this week’s rankings.
