My local channel (OKC) has the Disney contract expired. I hope they can negotiate a new contract by Friday
 
App St vs Clemson is a dangerous game and one I'm surprised Clemson agreed to. UVA/Wake will be interesting to see where those teams stand currently, I have no read on how good either of them are. GT/Cuse will probably be the highlight game for the conference. I think the Tenn/NCSU game is going to be really bad for the pack, and thats less about them and more about how much Tennessee has improved. It doesn't help that NCSU is a notoriously slow starting team when the season begins. The handful of State fans I know have already accepted that Saturday will be bad, and as long as nobody gets injured, it will have a minimal impact on what they can accomplish this season.

Hubris is one helluva drug. Clemson as a 17.5 point favorite? Tempting.

Normally, it would not be a concern. But after laying eggs against BC and GT....who knows?

Week 2 action starts in 21 minutes. We host SMU on October 26 so it is an opportunity to scout the Mustangs.
