** The ACC's Atlantic Division standings:
Wake Forest 4-2
Florida State 4-2
Maryland 3-2
Boston College 2-3
Clemson 2-4
N.C. State 1-4

Wake's route to the ACC championship game is reasonably easy to describe. If the Deacs beat BC and N.C. State while Maryland loses one of its remaining three league games, Wake is going to Tampa.
Maryland has the head-to-head edge on Wake Forest, which has the same advantage over Florida State. The Seminoles host the Terrapins on Nov. 22.
What if all three wind up at 5-3? It depends on how they get there. For now, don't ask.

** The Deacons wore gold uniforms for the first time in the school's modern (Forsyth County) era. Coach Jim Grobe said the program ordered them from Nike a year ago and the seniors, the arbiters of the team's game-day fashion, selected them for this one.
** The result marked Virginia's first loss here since a 38-34 verdict on Oct. 22, 1983. Current Cavalier coach Al Groh was on the winning side that day.
** Wake had won only one of the previous 21 meetings in the series before today.
** The Deacs' 28-3 halftime adantage was their largest since they led N.C. A&T 35-3 en route to a 42-3 win on Sept. 18, 2004.
** Wake began the day fourth in the NCAA in turnover margin and figures to move up at least one spot.
** Grobe (52-42) is the first Deacs coach since "Peahead" Walker to stand at 10 games or more above .500 for his Wake tenure.
