Abbreviated schedule.
The Atlantic Division is a complete mess and it appears the teams on that side are intent upon testing the limits of the tiebreaker rules. Wake Forest can do something this weekend to seize control of the division and put themselves on an inside track to the ACC Championship game. All the Deacs have to do is beat Clemson in Death Valley. Yeah, I don’t think that is happening, not so much for the Death Valley part but because this division is not destined to be anything other than something the cat coughed up.
NCSU travels to Boston College for the annual Tom O’Brien Bowl. NCSU needs a win badly or this season is basically over. The Pack would not have enough winnable games left on the schedule to qualify for a bowl. However a loss in this one would serve up tons of entertainment for the rest of us. BC is still in the division race and even with three losses would probably still be in the division race.
I could not care less about the craptastic nature of UVa at Maryland same goes for Miami vs Central Florida.
And in the only Coastal Division game, Virginia Tech could clinch the a title game spot. Not mathematically mind you but a win over Georgia Tech would give them wins over the two closest threats to them which stakes them to a two game lead. Also, the Hokies would be set for an 8-0 ACC finish for the first time in their history since there is no one on the backside of their schedule that stands to worry them too much.
Clemson 20 Wake 16
NCSU 34 BC 31
Maryland 10 UVa 9
Virginia Tech 33 GT 30
Miami 42 UCF 10

so our game vs State is at least halfway to being the major highlight game for both teams as State is going to lose today.
it’ll take an incredible finish for State to beat 2 of 3 opponents in FSU, Clemson and VT. and thats GIVING them Maryland and us.
I wouldn’t give State us. Not yet.
UNC’s offense vs that defense is going to be something to watch.
oh no. i’m just saying how tough it is for them even if youre starting with a baseline of 2 more wins.
please, please, please find an offensive gameplan that we can execute in the next 6 weeks. State gives up almost another 500 yds today.
And guys and gal (Almost forgot uncgirl50, Ha Ha Ha..) the thing is with State’s Defense, they are bad against both the run and pass. Last week Duke torched their defense with the pass, today BC torched them with the run…
Now, if the Heels can get some linemen healthy, get a healthy Pianalto, and a SEMBLANCE of game plan, Carolina’s D should be able to hold State’s offense down, but the Offense is going to have to score points…
Time heals all wounds and losing to GT and VA is feeling less painful by the day. GT is the real deal and VA doesn’t look terrible regardless how craptastic they were prior to the ACC season. I am pretty blown away by NCSU, it’s just hard to understand what’s going on there. This was a great weekend for college football and the Alabama game hasn’t started yet. Amazing.
Sadly for us, Google has determined that we, as UNC fans, need back pain relief, weight loss and cheap diamonds. I know that mentioning those things in the comments doesn’t help matters but d@mn. I’m going to click on any banner remotely legit in hopes of getting rid of these winners.
Here’s looking forward to a good showing with FSU, at least we had agood record against Chuckie. Go Heels!
Ok, no offense THF, but why on your comments page are there ads for Va Tech clothes….I lose my lunch everytime I have to look at them…Ha Ha Ha… I mean, VT has to have, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the worst combination of colors of any team in college or professional sports… Well, since Tampa Bay got rid of the creamsickle uniforms, anyway… Ha Ha Ha…
Chuck, how is it possible to forget me? I’m so out there, I usually stick out in people’s minds. But thanks for including me.
The thing is, we really can’t get a gauge of what either team will look like. There are a lot of question marks right now with both teams, and it’ll be a little while before we can really predict what’s going to go down.
One day after the LATE NIGHT and nothing on it? wow. Was anyone there? How are the new fellas looking?
Hold your horses there chief…I just did not want it lost amid the weekend lull.
Good THF, I was wondering how long I would have to hold back my excitement!
