Teams are ordered by league record, from ESPN’s ACC standings read November 1, 2026, at 16:23 UTC, after every league game through Saturday, October 31. The AP column is the poll of October 25, taken before last weekend’s games, and a dash means unranked. 47 league games have been played and 27 are left.
Miami won 38-35 at North Carolina on October 31, its second ACC win by 8 points or fewer, after a 43-35 overtime win over Florida State on October 17. Its other league wins came by 39 points at Stanford, 13 at Wake Forest, 28 at Clemson and 29 over Pittsburgh.
Wake Forest has won five league games in a row since the Miami loss, the last four by 24 points or more: 57-3 over Stanford, 38-14 at NC State, 41-7 at California and 51-7 over Virginia. SMU and Louisville are 4-2. SMU lost 30-27 at Syracuse on Saturday, and Louisville beat Stanford 52-24.
ACC championship odds
| Team | DraftKings | Break-even |
|---|---|---|
| Miami | -360 | 78.3% |
| Wake Forest | +350 | 22.2% |
| SMU | +1400 | 6.7% |
| Louisville | +2800 | 3.4% |
| Virginia Tech | +9000 | 1.1% |
| Clemson | +15000 | 0.7% |
These are DraftKings’ ACC winner prices as ESPN listed them on November 1, 2026, at 16:23 UTC. The board lists six teams; the other 11 have no price on it. For a minus price, break-even is the price divided by the price plus 100, so Miami at -360 has to win the league 360 times in 460, or 78.3%. For a plus price it is 100 divided by the price plus 100: Wake Forest at +350 needs 22.2%.
The board has moved a long way since September 24, when the same book had Miami at -240, Louisville second at +570 and Wake Forest at +9000. Duke, 3-2 in the league with four games left, was +7000 that day and has no price now. A futures bet only pays over time when your own estimate of a team’s chance is higher than its break-even figure.
