The first set of College Football Playoff ("CFP") rankings came out on Tuesday night, and while Syracuse football will not be in the convo for a playoff bid this season, five other Atlantic Coast Conference teams are in the hunt.
Every ACC team with two losses or fewer is in the first CFP top 25. That being said, based on this first set of rankings, it's entirely possible that the ACC may only get one participant into the 12-team field.
Virginia, the surprise of the 2025 season in the ACC, is the only league school that has yet to lose a conference game.
