Staff Picks - ACC Week Nine

It’s Carolina’s bye week, so we’re basically all uninterested in football this weekend right? There are a few notable games this week, in the ACC as well as the Top 25. Well, not quite.

Saturday at 3:30, neutral site EverBank Field hosts the annual “World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” with the Florida-Georgia game. Throw the spread out the window, because history has proven that anything can happen in this game. Later at 7:00, Nebraska visits Wisconsin in an almost top-ten matchup.
