Summary
- Pitt's upset victory over Georgia Tech significantly altered the ACC championship race.
- Six teams, including Georgia Tech, remain technically alive for the ACC championship.
- Georgia Tech faces No. 4 Georgia in their next game for a chance at redemption.
Unranked Pitt has dramatically reshaped the ACC championship picture by defeating No. 16 Georgia Tech 42-28. The upset means no team has definitively secured a spot in the ACC championship game, with six teams, including Georgia Tech, still mathematically in contention entering the final weekend. The path to the championship is now complex, with Virginia and SMU controlling their own destiny.
Several scenarios could see Pitt or even Miami, Duke, or Georgia Tech advance, depending on the outcomes of upcoming games and intricate tiebreaker rules. Pitt's path involves a win against No. 12 Miami, while Miami's chances are complicated and may require assistance from other game results.
Georgia Tech, which started the season 8-0, has faltered in recent weeks, suffering two losses in their last three games. Their final opportunity for redemption comes against undefeated No. 4 Georgia in a game moved to Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
