On the down side Virginia remains win less and Maryland loses (again) to Middle Tennessee State. Week 4 has some big games with UNC traveling to Ga Tech and Miami traveling to face the Hokies.
1. Miami
The 'Canes proved the win over FSU was not a fluke by playing even better in blowing out Georgia Tech
Randy Shannon has found a QB and an o-line that could lead Miami to an ACC title2. Virginia Tech
Hokies gain some pride for the ACC with a last second win over Nebraska
3. Florida State
Seminoles travel all the way out to Utah and take care of a top 10 BYU team with ease
4. Georgia Tech
Time to regroup for the Yellow Jackets who had played 3 games in 13 days; North Carolina awaits this Saturday
Ga Tech was stymied for 95 yards rushing, their second lowest under Paul Johnson5. Clemson
Tigers dominate Boston College by holding the Eagles to 54 total yards
6. North Carolina
Heels go to Atlanta for first ACC showdown looking for a 4-0 start
7. NC State
Wolfpack put together second straight good offensive performance albeit against weak competition, but progress is progress
8. Wake Forest
Riley Skinner throws for a career high 289 yards passing in win over Elon
9. Boston College
Justin Tuggle really struggled against Clemson and those early season wins don't look as impressive now
10. Maryland
Terps have second straight loss to Middle Tennessee State just a week after barely beating James Madison
11. Duke
Blue Devils hung with Kansas for a while, but were blown out in the second half by the Jayhawks
12. Virginia
We thought the Cavs might have their first win until Southern Miss comes from 10 points down to keep Al Groh's seat scalding hot
Now that I have ranked the teams 1-12, lets put them into peer groups.
Tier I
Miami, Virginia Tech, Florida State
Tier II
Georgia Tech, Clemson, North Carolina
Tier III
NC State, Wake Forest, Boston College
Tier IV
Maryland, Duke, Virginia
Al Groh cannot believe his team let a win slip away Saturday
Virginia Tech second?
ReplyDeleteNot even close. It's all hype. Look at the numbers.
Miami > FSU > Clemson > Georgia Tech > UNC > VPI
Clemson > Ga Tech?
ReplyDelete27 > 30?
Its early right now, but nothing in VT's ACC history tells me they will be 6th best in the conference. Alabama is going to make a lot of teams look bad this year on offense.
Who is MWS and what planet is he from? Miami always has a few games where they look spectacular and then crap their own pants a game or two later.
ReplyDeleteTech's defense is down from the last few years right now but they're still way better than FSU or GT.
VT is better than GT right now, but one thing I would be worried about in that matchup is VT's tackling woes. Poor tackling = big run gains for GT's offense.
