ACC Standings

[FredJacket]

My cat Pepper did just last week with admittedly mixed results. She had him for a moment but he broke the tackle and scampered up a tree and engaged in some pretty nifty taunting with his tail going up and down while he was looking down at a frustrated Pepper. I told Pepper she needs to wrap up.

Tell "Pepper" it's OK. Coach Dodd still loves him.

Not THAT Pepper. I think Coach Dodd in reading between the lines in his biography was more enamored of Pepper the coach than Pepper the player. Pepper had a way of getting on everyone's nerves as a player. Before an Orange Bowl game against Kansas, Pepper was missing field goals right and left in practice. A visibly upset Coach Dodd was haranguing him to do better. Says Pepper "Coach, how many people are in the stands now? When tomorrow comes and its full I won't miss." Damn if he did not kick the game winning field goal with seconds to play.

I have a sneaking suspicion that our play last night will inspire someone Saturday aka coastal chaos. My best guess is that Pittsburgh remembers how to play football and knocks off undefeated Louisville in a classic letdown spot.

Reminder that we are FSU and Duke losses away (they play each other) from controlling our own destiny and getting that rematch with Louisville in Charlotte. One game at a time.

A rematch with Louisville at the end of the season would actually be really cool, and I typically don't like rematches.

I don't care who they play against, I just want a chance at that silverware. The ACC Championship is the grail piece eluding my Georgia Tech football fandom (started in 2011 so I missed 2009). So close a couple of times when I was a student.

That's not right, UVA won this week.

We should have beat Louisville and be 3-0 in ACC play..... Crazy times we live in.

I don’t know why W&M isn’t in there. It’s the ACC’s table.

Sorry didnt mean that to come across as me blaming you, just noting the error.

The ACCs website tells a lot of lies. It's pretty incredible. Buyer beware.

Well if FSU loses they have one loss. I’m not sure how the tiebreakers would fall in that scenario, as common opponents are the first and second factors. Have you run this out yet?

Maybe we could start by winning two games in a row

This weekend:

• Syracuse at FSU
• Wake at VT
• Louisville at Pitt
• Miami at UNC
• NCST at Duke

Miami plays UNC this week, then hosts Clemson next week. We will see if Miami rights their ship

They’ll probably take a knee at the end of each quarter.

Is it bad that I want Miami to lose all their games?

If we plan to win the rest of ours, we will need their help against Lville at least… and maybe FSU for good measure.
Otherwise, yeah, I’m good with them falling apart.

See I want them to beat FSU and lose to Louisville. That way if by some miracle we win out I think we’d be in the ACCCG since we’d be 1-0 and they’d be 0-1 against common opponents.

But maybe we should start by winning two in a row
