The first College Football Playoff rankings are out. Here are the ACC contenders.

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. The Cavaliers are No. 14 in the CFP top 25. In order, other ACC members included are No. 15 Louisville, No. 17 Georgia Tech, No. 18 Miami and No. 24 Pittsburgh.

Duke and SMU are in the ACC race, too. They both have three total losses but only one conference setback each. The ACC championship game, by the way, is on Saturday, Dec. 6, in Charlotte, N.C.

The Atlantic Coast Conference is looking like a one-bid league to the CFP.

For this season's 12-team bracket, the field will be seeded directly based on the final rankings of the CFP selection committee, with the four highest-ranked teams getting a first-round bye, while the five highest-rated conference champions are guaranteed a spot.

As the Orange prepares to face Miami this Saturday afternoon in week 11, here are the remaining games for each ACC squad that's in the mix to possibly make the league title game and get to the CFP:

Virginia
Home against Wake Forest
At Duke
Home against Virginia Tech

Louisville
Home against California
Home against Clemson
At SMU
Home against Kentucky

Georgia Tech
At Boston College
Home against Pittsburgh

Miami

Some of the key games coming up in the ACC will include Virginia at Duke, Louisville at SMU, Georgia Tech hosting Pittsburgh and Miami at Pitt, among others. We'll have to see how the rest of the 2025 regular season plays out, but some observers think it's more likely than not that only one ACC member will make the 12-team CFP.
