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.

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

The Hurricanes have two games left on their schedule and with the bye week, they can have an eye on some of their potential opponents.
