ACC Football: Week 4

[arnie]

Hold on. Wake Forest and Boston College are each 4-0.


The NCAA was always willing to spot UNC a loss. Maybe the CFP will do the same?

BC and Wake play each other later. Down goes one of those dynasties.

We should aspire to be such a dynasty 😏😏

Has Dabo Swinney lost the program at Clemson?

More losses than Coach Cut in 2021!

[PackMan97]

Virginia Tech😊

GT may be looking to remind them.

[DoubleBlue]

Heels look good!

ONE loss, maybe . . . .

Heels look good!

Is tonight’s UNCCh pgame good or bad for us going into next weekend?

[CameronDuke]

Will the ACC have a ranked team tomorrow?

When’s the last time the ACC was this bad?

[JetpackJesus]

Heels looked gooooood!

A uNC loss is never, EVER bad for us.

I'm not sure they will hang a banner for holding GT to 45 points tonight, but they are averaging 59 PPG at home this year. I'm thinking a score similar to last year right now.

Yeah hard to tell from just eyeballing it but Georgia Tech has a lot of speed on its team. Including in the secondary. I really fear for our defense.

Found this site, seems reasonable. ACC tops out at 25th.

Interesting! They still have Clemson 25th! Thanks!

I was a bit shocked to see that Duke is showing as an underdog in every remaining scheduled game...though Louisville is almost a toss up.

Before season started, I thought we’d win one ACC game. Although we’re all giddy that we’ve won 3 in a row, no teams we play in ACC look particularly beatable by our team.

I think we finish at 4-7 and anything better is gravy.

Really? I mean, yes we have won some games we should win, and our schedule isn't murders' row. But i wouldn't give us better than 50/50 odds for any of our remaining games. Certainly, we could win a few, but we could also lose them all.

A bowl game would be a huge accomplishment for our team this season.

In my head I keep going back to the first NCAT drive where we could not stop them from an eleven minute drive for a TD. That's a BAD defense.

Our offense can get better if we stop turning the ball over, but if we are going to do anything but try and win shootout games, we have to improve our defense.

So we're like the Green Bay Packers of the ACC?

Before the season started, many thought Clemson would be in the CFB Playoff and that UNC was a top-10 team. Heading into week 5, the only ranked team on our schedule is... Wake Forest? We may indeed finish 4-7, or even 3-8... But we've certainly seen improvement on both sides of the ball thus far, and thus far the ACC has not particularly presented itself as a 'murderers row' of football prowess, so count me among those who are happy to remain in wait-and-see mode.

I think we have a 20-30 percent chance in all the remaining games. That translates to one, two or three wins. And an 83 pct chance of winning at least one ACC game with p = 0.20.
