Miami caught everyone's attention with their loss at Pitt last weekend that knocked them down from No. 2 to No. 7 in the College Football Playoff rankings, but the Canes are surely still in the Top 4 with a win over Clemson on Saturday. Did Pitt just catch Miami sleeping or are there bigger issues that were exposed? Clemson looked really good against South Carolina and seems to be clicking at just the right time.

Does South Carolina have enough to pull of a massive upset or is Clemson going to put another whooping on the Cocks.  Miami looked rough early on against UVA, but rattled off 30 unanswered points to turn the game into an impressive win. Lots of talk about Pitt being a big time trap game as the Canes trade in warm and sunny Coral Gables for a cold and windy Pittsburgh. Will we see another slow start from the Canes or will they come out and put it to Pitt early?

Week 10 was a big one in the ACC and the conference championship game is all but decided. Miami showed up in a big way on the national stage with a dominant 28-10 win over Virginia Tech. How much did we learn about Miami from that game? Are you ready to include Miami with the best of the best across college football or do they still need to prove they're a consistently elite team? The Canes will get that chance this weekend as No. 3 Notre Dame comes to Hard Rock Stadium for the biggest game between these two schools since the "Catholics vs. Convicts" rivalry was born in the late 80's. On the Atlantic side, the Clemson/NC State game lived up to the hype, but the Tigers made big plays when they counted most and got out of Raleigh with a 38-31 win. Clemson hosts Florida State this weekend in a game that certainly isn't what we thought it would be at the start of the season, but is a rivalry game nonetheless.

The Tigers travel to Raleigh to take on No. 20 NC State in a game that very well could decide who wins the Atlantic. Can the Pack bounce back from a tough loss at Notre Dame and represent the Atlantic in Charlotte or does Clemson's repeat campaign stay alive? The top teams in the Coastal also square off in a potential division-deciding game, as No. 13 Virginia Tech travels to Coral Gables to takes on No. 10 Miami.
