Given the ACC's performance in the opening two weeks, by my judgment, eight of the nine games this weekend involving league teams are up for grabs (Virginia Tech-Duke being the only sure thing). That then requires a much more in-depth analysis than my usual snarky one-paragraph preview. And that means a lot of writing...and time...and patience...which I don't have much of these days. So here's a slightly different forecast for this weekend in ACC land - and props to Dave Sez for the inspiration...
Saturday, Sept. 16, 2006
BYU at Boston College
Catholics, Mormons
Each with offense aplenty
The Pope's crew prevails
(The Pick: Boston College 28, BYU 20)
Wake Forest at Connecticut
Duke scared the Deacons
Huskies are more than just bark
Wake will feel the bite
(The Pick: Connecticut 17, Wake Forest 14)
Duke at Virginia Tech
Shot their wad, did Duke
And still fell short to the Deacs
No mercy from Tech
(The Pick: Virginia Tech 37, Duke 3)
Troy at Georgia Tech
Shot their wad, did Troy
And still fell short to the Noles
No mercy from Tech
(The Pick: Georgia Tech 24, Troy 7)
Miami at Louisville
Canes are underdogs
Just like last year at VT
The Cards miss Mike Bush
(The Pick: Miami 27, Louisville 21)
Western Michigan at Virginia
Al Groh, chessmaster
Now sweats over a MAC team
George Welsh smiles wryly
(The Pick: Virginia 20, Western Michigan 16)
Furman at North Carolina
Heel fans remember
Furman's ass-kicking of yore
Torbush really blew
(The Pick: North Carolina 31, Furman 10)
Southern Miss at NC State
A loss to Akron
Wolfpack Nation in uproar
Ain't seen nothin' yet
(The Pick: Southern Miss 20, NC State 10)
Clemson at Florida State
The Eighth Bowden Bowl
Tommy has beaten Dad twice
But Pops is at home
(The Pick: Florida State 24, Clemson 21)
