No. 11 Miami (9-1, 5-1, No. 8 CFP) must beat Wake Forest on Saturday to retain its hopes of playing in the ACC championship game if SMU beats Virginia. No. 17 Clemson (8-2, 7-1, No. 17 CFP) has completed its conference schedule and could clinch a berth in the championship game if Miami falls to Wake Forest.

SMU remained unbeaten in the league by beating Boston College 38-28 last week as Kevin Jennings passed for three touchdowns. Louisville, Pitt and Virginia Tech were eliminated from the race for the title game when they took their third ACC losses last week.

With two weeks remaining in the regular season, three teams are still in contention for the league title game in Charlotte.
