The ACC: Week 10

[devildeac]

Y'know why I use a "K"?

It's klassier.

Not to mention kool.

[HK Dukie]

FSU please win this.

For the ACC.

For Duke.

Final: FSU 42, Louisville 31

One very small point -- with Louisville giving up 42 points, Duke takes over as the ACC's top scoring defense ... at least until after the Duke-Pitt game

Louisville went into the night No. 1 in the ACC, giving up an average of 14.4 points a game. After allowing 42 to FSU, the 'Ville scoring average climbed to 17.9 ppg.

Duke, still at 15.1 ppg , takes over first place (and climbs from fifth to fourth nationally).

It won't be acknowledged until after the weekend -- provided Duke holds Pitt to about 33 points or less.

It's halftime in the Duke-Pitt game, and I'm guessing that's not gonna happen.

Meanwhile, Duke Johnson for Miami is on quite a roll. Just ripped off a 90 yard TD. His worst game this year he had 90 yards rushing. This is his 5th straight 100 yard game. Last week he had 249, this week he has 172 before halftime. Starting to wonder if he could work his way into the Heisman discussion. I know Miami hasn't been great, but they seem to be improving. If they could somehow knock off FSU at home behind a big game by Duke...

Go Duke!

Not-Our-Conference, clap, clap, clap-clap-clap. Unworthy of a new thread, but it doesn't really fit anywhere else. Maybe one of the old Penn State scandal threads?

Maryland was hit with a 15-year unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which explains a lot. The last time they got one of those was around 2000, so they were due for a renewal.

Yea,. I couldn't figure out where to post that but really didn't think that classless behavior my md deserved another thread.

Will the wanker filter stop me from saying that Maryland is a collective group of expired doucebags? What a bunch of classless buttholes.

Enjoy them, B10 -- you wanted them, you got them.

So unless Miami beats FSU, which is not impossible, Duke can go 3-1 against Cuse, VT, UNC, and Wake and win the Coastal.

Interesting to think about...

Miami's offense is really round into form with the freshman QB Kaaya starting to settle in. Don't think their D can stop Winston, but they've got a much better chance of winning this game than I would've thought one month ago. Still think FSU wins that one by double digits.

Duke SHOULD go 3-1 against the remaining schedule. We'll probably be favored in each of those games. It's crazy to think about, and not likely to happen, but 11-1 is a realistic possibility.

so with our win, we gotta be rooting for virginia to take out tech, since we're no longer concerned about being in a tiebreaker with pitt.

[Bob Green]

Upcoming opponents North Carolina and Virginia Tech both lose to fall to 4-5 on the season.

It doesn't really matter, does it? The important game is FSU @ Miami. If FSU wins, we have a cushion - we can lose any one of our remaining four games and still win the division. UNC losing was important for us today, as otherwise that game could have been problematic.

Double WOOT WOOT.

It will be interesting to see how we play as a favorite in conference games. VT and UNC are very dangerous games.

they both have pros and cons. virginia beating GT gives us an extra game cushion over GT. right now we can only go 3-1 and still win in all cases. if virginia were to win, we would be closer to being able to lose two games and still pull it out.

Again, this is only true if Miami loses to FSU. And Miami has been playing very well of late. It's possible they pull it out.

We have the tiebreak over GT and UVA, and both play one of the top two atlantic teams later in the season. They're basically irrelevant.

This is true. My assumption has been that FSU beats both miami and UVA...but after their scare last thursday, that assumption may be a bit riskier...

[loran16]

I am salivating by the way over the idea of James Conner vs the UNC Defense. After what Duke Johnson did today...

And if UNC loses, UNC would need to beat both Duke and State to make a bowl.

NC State beats Syracuse. I will now list the remaining teams on Duke's regular season schedule with records at or above .500:
