AP:
#12 FSU
#16 Clemson

Coaches:
#11 FSU
#13 Clemson

That's pretty standard for the ACC since expansion. 2 teams ranked usually between 11 and 20.

Sagarin's rankings

4 Notre Dame A = 91.32
13 Florida State A = 86.32
20 North Carolina A = 82.27
24 Clemson A = 81.33
40 Virginia Tech A = 76.12
45 NC State A = 75.04
62 Miami-Florida A = 71.68
65 Georgia Tech A = 70.74
72 Maryland A = 69.37
75 Duke A = 69.04
76 Pittsburgh A = 68.99
78 Boston College A = 67.95
80 Syracuse A = 67.40
89 Virginia A = 64.73
101 Wake Forest A = 62.77


Conferences
1 BIG 12 (A) = 82.05
2 SOUTHEASTERN (A) = 79.90
3 PAC-12 (A) = 77.88
4 BIG TEN (A) = 75.67
5 I-A INDEPENDENTS (A) = 72.70
6 ATLANTIC COAST (A) = 72.57
7 BIG EAST (A) = 72.07

Important point-
the Sagarin ratings BCS uses:
5 Notre Dame
23 Florida St
24 Clemson
30 Miami
42 NC State
47 Duke
53 North Carolina
55 Virginia Tech
63 Maryland
76 Wake Forest
79 Virginia
96 Georgia Tech
103 Boston College

a pretty big difference there.

No problem with Big 12, SEC, or Pac 12, but...
How in the world do you put the Big Ten ahead of the ACC?

1st 1/3 teams
ACC 13/20/24/40- 24.25
B10 14/23/25/31- 23.25
2nd 1/3 teams
ACC 45,62,65,72- 61.00
B10 34,35,48,55- 43.00
3rd 1/3 teams
ACC 75,78,89,101- 85.75
B10 59,66,84,90- 74.75

so it's pretty easy to see where the difference is right now. basically the bottom 9 teams are stronger big ten than acc.
