This Week in the ACC - 1/6-1/12

Quite easy for you to say, Sage, when you’re not the one being attacked. And If you don’t want to read my posts then perhaps you should just skip them. I would be okay with that.

Personally, I’m more interested in the upcoming Duke v Clemson and Virginia v Florida State games than discussing ones that have been previously-played. I’m looking forward to watching both.

Steven, this is bickering, which, regardless of the merits of the case, is uncomfortable for many to read and doesn't add to the DBR experience, which can be quite good. The purpose of a post, IMHO (where the H is long gone), is to elicit a thoughtful response from others. And, if one has a real "gotcha," then it's best to just make it in an off-handed manner, rather than rubbing it in. "Better to be lucky than good," e.g.

Anyway, I have said too much.

Just one thought: you cannot have bickering unless multiple people are going back and forth. Don’t single me out, Sage, and then act like you’ haven’t been part of it.

Florida State is ranked #10 in the nation and are 14-2. I haven’t been following them very closely. Does anyone have any thoughts on whether they are as good as that ranking and record might indicate?

Hmm, I thought I read that Florida State was ranked #10. My mistake, sorry.

You probably are right when it comes to the AP/Coaches polls. The NCAA uses the NET to replace the RPI.
