Quite simply teams separate, or get jumbled this week. Between UL, Notre Dame, Pitt, and Duke, who has the toughest week? (hint -- trick question ... the answer is all of them)
UL vs. Duke and ND.
UNC vs. (BC and) Pitt.
UVa vs VT and Duke.
Miami vs. Pitt and FSU.
Notre Dame vs. Clem and UL.
Clemson vs. ND (and GT)
Pitt vs. Miami and UNC
Duke vs. UL and UVa
FSU vs Cuse and Miami.
Cuse vs. FSU (and BC).
Clemson-ND game guarantees loss #5 for one of those teams.
UL-Duke winner plays itself into title talk if it follows up with another win this week. If the loser loses again, they could lose touch with the lead pack.
One of Cuse or FSU will lose #6 this week and make it very hard to make the top 4(5).
The right combination of wins/losses could cull the regular season title down three or even two possible teams this week, or could open it back up to nine.
