Early rankings for the ACC Coastal.

[Jerry the Jacket]

VT goes down and Pitt is struggling. Miami got their butt kicked!

 

[forensicbuzz]

All along, I like our chances.

 

[TruckStick]

It’s anybody’s coastal. Spin the wheel.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

UNC putting a butt whipping on UVA. Looks like I will have to revise my thinking on things.

Go Jackets!

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

Pitt and Virginia go down. UNC with big win.

Go Jackets!

 

[Jacket05]

The ACC is horrible this year. There are only 2 top 25 teams this week that lost to unranked opponents and they are both in the ACC Costal.

NOTE: Ole miss, UCLA, and Iowa St are still playing as I write this and UCLA is trailing Fresno St by 6 so this may not hold up. The overall point still stands regardless.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

So after this weekend, my new rankings are:

1) UNC
2) Pittsburgh
3) Virginia
4) Va. Tech
5) Georgia Tech
6) Duke
7) Miami

Looks like anybody can beat anybody else.

Go Jackets!

I think it’s a joke to put Duke above Miami.

What! You don’t like trolling Miami?

Pitt that just got rolled by directional U is #2?

I am using the same rank order here as above, but this is not my ranking:

1) UNC - They have shown the ability to score, but the D has to be a concern right now. Howell looks like the POY at this point.
2) Pittsburgh - Losing to W. Michigan in the 3rd week is terrible. Maybe Tennessee is not very good.
3) Virginia - When you give up almost 60 points, there are problems.
4) Va. Tech - It's been a long time since the UNC game
5) Georgia Tech - Which team are we? We could be the the team that lost to NIU or the one that almost beat Clemson.
6) Duke - This is the Duke team we loved to see on our schedule before Cutcliffe came to Durham.
7) Miami - King and Rambo cannot be the entire team. As good as they are, the U as a whole are a mess.

Pitt that just got rolled by directional U is #2?

That is why they are at #2. Given that they previously beat an SEC team while playing on the road, they were heretofore an unstoppable juggernaut. Can you imagine that....a lowly ACC team beating one from THE SEC??

If you aren't in the top 10 or so teams, the rest of us seem to live in the kind of world where you can lose to a directional team at home and take a top 10 team to the wire on the road.

 

[BleedGoldNWhite21]

I am starting to the think the only good team in the ACC is Clemson’s defense.

 

[85Escape]

Our chances of being competitive in the Coastal this year are much better than I thought two weeks ago this time. And it's not all better play by my Jackets.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

I am starting to the think the only good team in the ACC is Clemson’s defense.

Well said.

 

[SecretAgentBuzz]

Here is a ranking of ACC Coastal teams:

1a) UNC
1b) Va. Tech
1c) Virginia
1d) Pitt
1e) Georgia Tech
1f) Miami
1g) Duke

Coastal Chaos is in full effect! Maybe this is the year we all tie at 4-4 and go to tie-breaker hell!

The team that lost to NIU beat the hell out of them everywhere except the scoreboard.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

The thing about Pitt is that they have a really good QB and will score on anybody they play. I thought their defense was a notch above but certainly giving up that many points to W. Michigan indicate they have some issues. I don't like their Coach but I have to give him props for making good in-game decisions and finding a way to keep his team in a position to win. I think the Pitt game will be one that will be very difficult for us to win, even at home.

Go Jackets!

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

My belief about our ability to get D stops is related to match ups. I still believe a team with a great throwing QB and weapons OR a big bruising running game OR both will give us a lot of trouble. UNC & their QB could be a problem. We will see.

Based on these concerns & still concerned about coaching decisions, we are probably no better than 5th in coastal, but I could see us continuing to progress & getting in the top 2-3.

So we are 3-0 on moral victories?
