2012 College Football Rankings: ACC continues to only have two teams in SB Nation BlogPoll

The ACC doesn't look like it'll get more than their current teams into the BlogPoll by the end of the season.

After a weekend full of upsets, it makes sense that the top of the SB Nation BlogPoll looks markedly different. But one change includes a Florida St. Seminoles team that earned a first-place vote, even though it dropped one spot to No. 8. It is the highest ranked ACC school, followed by the Clemson Tigers, who fell one spot to No. 12.

Both teams are 7-1 in the ACC, 10-1 overall and they are tied atop the Atlantic division. Due to the divisional setup, Clemson and Florida State can't play for the ACC title and one of the two teams will face the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets for the championship.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish claimed the No. 1 spot with 63 first-place votes after being No. 3 last week. The Alabama Crimson Tide moved back into the top two while the Oregon Ducks, Georgia Bulldogs and Kansas St. Wildcats made up the rest of the top five.
