18/18/14 Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons beat #24 Florida State 12-3 in a game featuring nothing but field goals (Swank of WF made four but missed three others), turnovers (WF lost two fumbles but FSU lost two fumbles AND gave up 5 interceptions), and penalties (WF had 16 for 120 yards and FSU had 24 for 278 yards).

NR/NR/25 Virginia Tech. The Hokies outscored the North Carolina Tar Heels 10-0 in the fourth to pullout a 20-17 victory.
