The No. 4 Miami Hurricanes lead the Atlantic Coast after a win in Week 10. Miami defeated the Duke Blue Devils to keep their undefeated record. Meanwhile, teams like the Florida State Seminoles and the No. 23 Clemson Tigers suffered a loss last Saturday.

Here are the ACC power rankings after Week 10.

#17 Florida State Seminoles (1-8)

FSU (1-8, 1-7) enters Week 11 on a five-game losing streak. Last Saturday, they lost 35-11 in Week 10 against the North Carolina Tar Heels (5-4, 2-3). The Seminoles' only win this season was a close 14-9 victory in Week 4 over the California Golden Bears (4-4, 0-4) on Sep. 21.

Florida State will try to get their second win of the season on Saturday. They'll face the No. 10 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-1 FBS Independents), who have dominated their last three opponents.

#16 Stanford Cardinal (2-7)

The Stanford Cardinal (2-7, 1-5) will be inactive for Week 11 due to an open week. Last Saturday, the Cardinal lost 59-28 in Week 10 against The North Carolina State Wolfpack (5-4, 2-3).

Stanford will suit up again in Week 12 against the No. 22 Louisville Cardinals (6-3, 4-2) on Nov. 16. They'll aim to snap a six-game losing streak.

#15 California Golden Bears (4-4)

California is coming off an overwhelming 44-7 victory over the Oregon State Beavers (7-1 Pac-12) from Week 9. They were inactive last weekend due to an open week.

The Golden Bears will try to keep their momentum going in Week 11 when they face Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-4, 2-2) on Friday.

#14 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (4-4)

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons return to action after nearly two weeks of inactivity due to an open week. In Week 9, they defeated Stanford 27-24 on Oct. 26 to extend their winning streak to two games.

The Demon Deacons will aim to keep their win streak alive in a matchup against California in Week 11.

#13 Boston College Eagles (4-4)

The Boston College Eagles (4-4, 1-3) will play this weekend after having an open week for Week 10. Their last game was a 31-27 loss to Louisville on Oct. 25.

Boston College will attempt to end a three-game losing streak against the Syracuse Orange (6-2, 3-2) in Week 11 on Saturday.

#12 Virginia Cavaliers (4-4)

The Virginia Cavaliers (4-4, 2-3) hope to get back on track in Week 11 in a matchup against No. 18 Pittsburgh Panthers (7-1, 3-1) on Saturday. Virginia hopes to break a three-game losing streak after not playing in Week 10 due to an open week.

#11 North Carolina Tar Heels (5-4)

North Carolina won't suit up for Week 11 due to an open week. The team will compete against Wake Forest on Nov. 16 for Week 12.

The Tar Heels are on a two-game win streak and are one win away from being eligible to compete in the postseason. North Carolina has three games left on their schedule, so they'll try to defeat Wake Forest to gain eligibility to compete in a bowl game.

#10 North Carolina State Wolfpack (5-4)

North Carolina State continues to make a run for a bowl game in a Week 11 contest against Duke on Saturday. The Wolfpack is on a two-game winning streak and coming off a dominant performance against Stanford.

The Wolfpack has three games left in the regular season. Duke will be a formidable opponent for North Carolina State, but the Wolfpack will try to get their sixth win to earn eligibility to compete in the postseason.

#9 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (5-4, 3-3) play at home this Saturday against Miami. They missed Week 10 due to an open week. They'll try to end a two-game losing streak and gain eligibility to compete in a bowl game.

Miami is the best team in the ACC, so the Yellow Jackets will have their hands full in the Week 11 contest.

#8 Virginia Tech Hokies

The Virginia Tech Hokies (5-4, 3-2) hope to get back on track after a 38-31 overtime loss against Syracuse last Saturday. Before the loss, the Hokies were on a three-game winning streak and had made strides to attain eligibility to play in the postseason.

Virginia Tech will take on Clemson on Saturday. The Hokies will attempt to pull off the upset to get their sixth win of the season.

#7 Duke Blue Devils (6-2)

Duke will try to end a two-game losing streak against North Carolina State as the Blue Devils look toward playing in a bowl game. They earned eligibility after defeating Florida State in Week 8 on Oct. 18 for their sixth win.

Despite gaining eligibility, Duke will be motivated to defeat the Wolfpack to avenge their loss against Miami from Week 10.

#6 Syracuse Orange (6-2)

Syracuse aspires to follow up on their victory over Virginia Tech. The contest against Boston College in Week 11 is another opportunity for Syracuse to go on a winning streak as they prepare to compete in a bowl game.

#5 Louisville Cardinals (6-3)

Due to an open week, Louisville won't be in action in Week 11. Their last contest was a 33-21 win against Clemson last Saturday. The Cardinals will attempt to continue their win streak when they challenge Stanford in Week 12.

They have three games left of the regular season and have secured their spot to play in the postseason. Louisville aims to get their third consecutive win next Saturday.

#4 Clemson Tigers (6-2)

Clemson looks to regroup from their last defeat to the Cardinals. Before losing in Week 10, the Tigers were on a six-game winning streak. They'll hope to bounce back with a win over Virginia Tech on Saturday.

#3 Pittsburgh Panthers (7-1)

Pittsburgh suffered a setback in Week 10 in a 48-25 loss to No. 13 SMU Mustangs (8-1, 5-0) last Saturday. The Panthers are seemingly out of the running to compete in college football playoffs but will have the opportunity to compete in a bowl game.

They'll face Virginia on Saturday and will try to get their eighth win of the season.

#2 SMU Mustangs (8-1)

SMU will not be competing in Week 11 due to an open week. The Mustangs will be active in Week 12 when they take on Boston College on Nov. 16. They'll look to get their seventh consecutive win to build momentum toward playing in the college football playoffs.

#1 Miami Hurricanes (9-0)

Miami remains the best team in the ACC, having won over Duke in Week 10. The Hurricanes will try to defeat Georgia Tech this Saturday to continue their path to winning the conference.
