@Sknyluv I made the new thread. Sorry for stealing your thunder.

[Sknyluv]

No worries @jazznutUVA ! Your layout puts mine to shame. Thanks for creating the thread!

[BDragon]

It can only go up for Clemson’s offense.

Miami better be really good this year or, between Clemson and FSU embarrassing themselves, the ACC will be… even more terrible than usual, I guess?

[Sknyluv]

The Georgia Tech - @Syracuse matchup should be a pretty good game. Line is hovering around Georgia Tech -2.5 on FanDuel. Kyle McCord had a pretty good game for Syracuse at QB throwing for over 350 yards … but the Syracuse defense gave up 255 rushing yards to Ohio. Yikes. GT is averaging 207 rushing yards a game. Look for GT to run the ball and control the clock.

Happy Cake Day to one of our resident Charlottesville insiders!

[jazznutUVA]

This whole sentence makes me cringe… ACC purists are sick thinking any ACC team would play Nevada and Houston Christian in their OOC. LOL!

SMU is one of two ACC teams at 2-0 after it pulled out a squeaker over Nevada in Week 0 and thumped FCS Houston Christian on Saturday.

Aren’t we overvaluing wins over FSU a bit? GT and BC probably are better than expected but having them 2nd and 3rd in the league seems a bit extreme.

Also SMU’s week 0 struggle on the road with Nevada doesn’t look nearly as bad a week later. Nevada pulled off a sneaky good upset win at Troy. Mix of first game yips and an out of whack betting spread.

[StLouHoo]

Bottom line is it’s too early to be ranking teams at all right now. Give me 3 weeks at a minimum before I really feel I have any sense for who teams are.

@StLouHoo

Give me 3 weeks at a minimum before I really feel I have any sense for who teams are.

Get past the “buy” games… whether a team is upset or not.

[BDragon]

IT’s far too early to get a read on most teams especially relative to how they will look in conference. FSU may be the one exception since they’ve played two conference opponents. Clemson is bad, but UGa is going to make a lot of teams look bad this year so I wouldn’t throw dirt on that grave yet, just keep your shovel ready.

Let everyone get to the end of Sept and then we will know what we’re working with.

[JBHoo]

Ranking teams?

[Sknyluv]

Let’s pick some Friday night ACC games.

The BYU - @SMU game is currently sitting around SMU -11.5, OU 56 (draftkings). Both teams beat up on FCS opponents last week, so this will be the first actual P4 test for each team. I have a feeling this will be a closer, low-scoring game. Taking BYU.

The line for the other game is currently NW -1.5, OU 37.5. That’s a very weak OU. Kinda think Duke’s defensive front is gonna have a good night and give NW fits. Taking Duke.

[BDragon]

I almost picked that Duke NW game as well. Dukes defense already ran wild last weekend and lead the nation in sack rate. I can see them getting after NW early and often as well. Plus if Duke wants any shot of post season play they need to pick up this win

[ElliottHoo]

SMU - BYU is, um, whatever the opposite of a barn-burner is. I had to double-check that Iowa wasn’t somehow involved.

[HoozGotNext]

This might be a REALLY bad year for the ACC.

[UVApride7]

SMU has looked like trash, but BYU’s QB continues to give them opportunities to take the lead.

[Hooandtrue]

That was a fumble

[HoozGotNext]

So SMU’s quarterback got hurt? I’ve had it on but barely paid attention.

Edit: Apparently not, just benched.
