ACC football standings with 2022 Atlantic/Coastal division rankings, tiebreaker rules, remaining schedule, more

The Clemson Tigers remain undefeated in conference play, but haven't done so without a few close scares against Syracuse and Wake Forest. The Atlantic is the stronger division this year, and the North Carolina Tar Heels look poised to run away with the Coastal title. The winners of the two divisions will compete in the ACC Championship.

The ACC announced that this season will be the last in which the conference is still split into divisions, but at the moment, each team plays eight in-conference games; six against divisional opponents and two against cross-division rivals. Five teams also play a ninth de-facto conference game against partial ACC member Notre Dame.
