Instead of providing answers, Week 13 of the college football season brought more confusion for the Atlantic Coast Conference standings.
With Pittsburgh pulling off the 42-28 upset win over No. 12 Georgia Tech, the final week of the regular season will determine who is headed to the ACC championship game on Saturday, Dec. 6, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
If the Yellow Jackets had beaten the Panthers on Saturday, Nov. 22, they would have clinched a spot in the championship game. Instead, Pitt now needs to beat Miami — and needs one of SMU or Virginia to lose in Week 14 — to get into the conference title game. All three teams enter the final week with one ACC loss.
Meanwhile, two-loss teams Georgia Tech, Miami and Duke all remain alive, but will need serious help to have a chance to get to the championship game.
Here’s a look at the ACC standings after Week 13:
