The ACC hasn't exactly played out as expected.

Georgia Tech was picked to finish fifth in the Coastal Division. The Jackets won it. Miami was picked to win the division; the Hurricanes are 3-4 in the league. Virginia Tech, my pick to win the division, was projected to finish third; the Hokies have been awful.

In the Atlantic Division, Syracuse wasn't supposed to be this bad and Boston College has beaten expectations.

And all of that is reflected in the Week 14 ACC Power Rankings, which you view here.

This final weekend, and tonight's College Football Playoff rankings release, should give us enough drama to last for a while. Georgia Tech, Clemson and Louisville are in a death battle for the Orange Bowl berth, and they all need FSU to beat Florida. And then there's Virginia-Virginia Tech with bowl eligibility at stake and Pitt-Miami with Pitt's impressive run of .500 seasons at stake.

So it's been fun doing these power rankings with y'all. Now the real chaos begins.
