Florida State-Florida
Georgia Tech-Georgia
Clemson-South Carolina
Wake Forest-Vanderbilt

Georgia lost their starting QB Aaron Murray to a torn ACL, and they travel to Atlanta and play Georgia Tech this week.

Florida hosts Florida State in the swamp.

Clemson travels to South Carolina this week, and if the Tigers beat the Gamecocks they will finish at worst 4th in the final BCS standings and will automatically qualify for a BCS bowl.

Wake Forest travels to frisky Vanderbilt and I don't see Wake winning this game.

The ACC should have Florida State beating Florida, and the SEC should have Vanderbilt beating Wake Forest. The ACC needs Clemson to beat South Carolina and have Georgia Tech pull off the upset against Georgia.

Would love to see the ACC win 3 out of those 4. I like you think Vanderbilt will beat Wake Forest. I would also expect Georgia to beat Georgia Tech, but with Aaron Murray out who knows? Florida just lost to Georgia Southern. They are in trouble with FSU. I really hope Dabo Swinney can beat Spurrier this time. On paper he should, but USC keeps winning that game lately.

In the meantime, we still have to sort out the ACC Coastal. We are at the last weekend and 4 teams are still alive. Duke plays UNC, VT plays UVA, Miami plays Pitt, and GT already is 5-3. If Duke beats UNC, then they win the Coastal. This is really hard to believe, but it's accurate. If Duke, VT, and Miami all lose, then GT wins. And there are scenarios for both Miami and VT. It's crazy. And the prize is getting to Charlotte to be taken to the woodshed by Florida State. :0
 
I can see Vandy just getting past WF ... but I see the ACC winning the other 3 ... that Aaron Murray injury will cost UGA the game against GT .. just can't see them scoring much at all.
 
Next year, the Louisville-UK game will be moved to the final weekend as well.
 
The Coastal race is really wide open. I don't trust Logan Thomas to win any must win game especially on the road, and Duke on the road against a hot UNC team, and Miami on the road against Pitt isn't any automatic win for Miami.

I think Duke or Virginia Tech are likely to win the Coastal and take the beating from FSU in Charlotte.

As to next year's rivalry week with Louisville-Kentucky replacing Wake Forest-Vanderbilt expect it ACC-SEC rivalry week to look like this.

ACC-SEC games
Florida State-Florida
Georgia Tech-Georgia
Clemson-South Carolina
Louisville-Kentucky

ACC games
Virginia-Virginia Tech
Syracuse-Boston College
Miami(Fl)-Pittsburgh
Wake Forest-Duke or Wake Forest-North Carolina State
North Carolina-Duke or North Carolina-North Carolina State

SEC games
Alabama-Auburn
Tennessee-Vanderbilt
Missouri-Arkansas
LSU-Texas A&M
Ole Miss-Mississippi State
 
I agree, ACC wins 3. Vandy is a good team and Wake is a bad team. Its a damn shame to go messing up the ACC's shot at perfection next week against the SEC. Would much rather have Louisville v. UK next week.
 
Plan for the future:

Schedule light for 2-3 years, get better recruits. Hit the top 25 a few times.
Play Penn State in the last regular season game.

not a chance penn state would agree to that, and not sure we would want that either.
 
all 14 ACC teams...thats ALL 14 ACC TEAMS...are on TV this weekend.

if the games are not on in your home...then enjoy your humble thanksgiving, for clearly you are still living in the 1500s.
 
I love rivalry week and miss the old Nebraska/OU and Texas/A&M games. Of course I have read somewhere that OU is going to the Big 10 so maybe we'll see that game again.

Go ACC and kick some SEC booty! Bad refs vs Agenda refs...who wins the battle?
 
Georgia has to travel all the way to Atlanta? Gosh. They will probably only have 85% of the fans there now.

Not having Aaron Murray will spell defeat for UGA .. ACC will go 3-1 against the SEC this weekend.
