    This Week in the ACC: 1/1-1/7

    We're now fully into conference play - this week will be the last detailed conference-by-conference breakdown of our conference non-conference record (trust me, that makes sense). There are some high quality matchups this week - Florida State, in particular, has to run an early season gauntlet - as teams start to get an early chance to separate from the pack. Lots of close games marked the opening weekend, after which we now have 6 ACC teams ranked (Duke, UVA, UNC, Miami, FSU, and Clemson) and a total of 8 that have been ranked (add Louisville and Notre Dame).

    Monday was a football day

    Tuesday
    [42]Louisville (0-0) (-14) hosts [170]Pittsburgh (0-1) (9:00, ESPNU)

    Wednesday
    [27]Florida State (0-1) (-1) hosts [12]North Carolina (1-0) (7:00, ESPN2)
    [76]Boston College (1-1) (+3) hosts [21]Clemson (1-0) (7:00, ACCNE)
    [69]Wake Forest (0-1) (-1) hosts [45]Syracuse (1-0) (7:00, ACCNE)
    [40]Virginia Tech (0-1) (+3) hosts [5]Virginia (1-0) (9:00, ACCNE)
    [137]Georgia Tech (0-1) (+8) hosts [18]Miami (1-0) (9:00, ACCNE)
    [28]Notre Dame (1-0) (-10) hosts [83]NC State (0-1) (9:00, ACCNE)

    Thursday and Friday are dark

    Saturday
    [21]Clemson (1-0) (-7) hosts [42]Louisville (0-0) (12:00, ACCNE)
    [40]Virginia Tech (0-1) (-14) hosts [170]Pittsburgh (0-1) (12:00, ACCNE)
    [5]Virginia (1-0) (-6) hosts [12]North Carolina (1-0) (1:00, ESPN)
    [45]Syracuse (1-0) (-1) hosts [28]Notre Dame (1-0) (3:15, ESPN2)
    [76]Boston College (1-1) (-3) hosts [69]Wake Forest (0-1) (4:00, ACCNE)
    [137]Georgia Tech (-6) hosts [166]Yale (7:00, ACCNE)
    [83]NC State (0-1) (+10) hosts [4]Duke (1-1) (8:00, ESPN)

    Sunday
    [18]Miami (1-0) (-5) hosts [27]Florida State (0-1) (6:00, ESPNU)

    So the game at State on Saturday is at 8 pm. Guess it was moved from original 2 start time?

    I'll take the under on them making two bank shot threes in that game.

    FSU favored by one — not sure I would take that bet.

    Bank shot prop bet, however, I think the under is solid.

    Wish the game was at 2 pm and not at 8. Not sure why ESPN would want to put the game against NFL playoffs.

    I'm reading on Twitter that Bonzie Colson is going to be out eight weeks with a foot fracture. I'm sorry for him and Notre Dame. I'd have to guess that Bagley doesn't have that much competition now for ACC player of the year.

    I believe it was to avoid conflict with the NFL playoff game that they are broadcasting, since our game is on ESPN.

    I quite enjoy the 6 pm mountain time tip, but I may be in the minority there.

    If I had my preference I'd rather have our bye week later in the schedule. We've had a lot of time off recently. I'd prefer some time closer to the middle of our conference schedule in case we get banged up or need time to just rest or regroup.

    The ESPN broadcast of the Titans-Chiefs game is at 4:35 pm on Saturday. They could easily have moved the Duke-State game to 1 pm or 1:30 pm. With the 8 pm start, the game is in conflict with the Falcons-Rams game (which starts at 8:15 pm).

    I wonder if the weather will affect any of the games tonight? I haven't heard anything definitive yet, but with such a wide path of winter weather throughout the south(which is generally unprepared to handle winter weather)you gotta think some games might get cancelled/postponed.

    The South will get cancelled/postponed.

    Do we really even need to broadcast the game?

    Last year we had a Lottery Pick on the team...this year, we don't have our point guard that made things go against AZ and are the rest of the parts don't seem to be fitting together all that well.

    We'll be lucky to keep within 20...at the end of the first half.

    You're not fooling me or the Weaufx Gods. I remember last year; I remember 2010. I could go on and on.

    I agree. Duke has no chance in Raleigh. State is merely playing "possum."
