Things to watch this week in the Atlantic Coast Conference:

Game of the week

No. 10 Miami (6-1, 2-1 ACC) at SMU (5-3, 3-1), Saturday, noon ET (ESPN)

There are five one-loss teams behind league unbeatens Georgia Tech and Virginia, so this one could be a de facto elimination game in the chase to reach the ACC title game. The Hurricanes regrouped from a turnover-filled loss to Louisville by beating Stanford . The Mustangs are coming off a loss at Wake Forest , their first regular-season ACC loss following an 8-0 run through the league in their debut last year.

The undercard

No. 8 Georgia Tech (8-0, 5-0 ACC) at N.C. State (4-4, 1-3), Saturday, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN2)

The Yellow Jackets can become only the sixth team in program history to start 9-0, something they haven't done since 1966.
