Week 10 ACC/FBS Games for Oct 29-Nov 2

[PeteCalvin]

Clemson fans are melting down. They are having fun with Louisville’s D AND the horrid ACC officials.

Clemson- Good Googly Moogly!

 

[PeteCalvin]

Wow. Clemson gave up! Don’t think I’ve seen that from them. Implosion complete

 

[phreddie]

So if all things play out as expected (i.e. we beat Miami ) the ACC gets only 1 team in the playoffs?

SMU?

I had Clemson as part of a ML palay with SMU and Tennessee. SMU is gold, UT in a dogfight but will probably prevail. At halftime I hedged out with L'ville -3.5 parlayed with under 54.5. So far so good.

Had to sweat the under 54.5 at the end but it got home

SMU?

They don't play in the regular season. If they both win out and SMU loses to Miami in ACC title game do the mustangs still get into the CFP with losses to BYU and Miami? Probably not. A Miami team with it's only loss being to a 1 loss SMU in the title game probably is still an at large.

FSU/Stanford

SMU is closer to Miami than the rest of their group, possibly a peer team…and based on close wins over VT and GT (and a home loss to Stanford), I couldn’t justify putting Syracuse ahead of the large group you have behind it (yet).

It’s astonishing how bad FSU is - this year was critical to their argument to get out to join the SEC or Big10. I have no idea why their administration isn’t already dropping that, hopefully they are looking for a graceful exit strategy and aren’t delusional enough to still think their argument has any legs.

Not a lot of defense in the ACC this week.

 

[Cusefan95]

I can’t justify a separate post for this comment, so I’ll dump it here: SMU should really lean into their history in their marketing strategy. I think billing themselves as an antihero program that the NCAA tried to kill, failed - and they are coming back to be stronger than ever would be a fantastic approach.

I’m about 99% sure they won’t since school administrations don’t want that as part of the overall school reputation - Miami football built it organically in the 80s and the school admins crapped themselves and spent three decades trying to kill it - but I think it would successfully nationalize the appeal of SMU and significantly increase their TV ratings.

Miami is #1 in offense, #19 in defense.

SMU is 23/45, SU is 25/54, Pitt is 24/62, Lville 18/72, Clemson 5/51.

Miami is a couple of notches better than those five and though SU statistically and record is in the mix with the second tier, is not of the same overall quality, probably loses by at least 10 to all of them, it is better than the pack.

SMU shows speed all over the field and their QB is the most underrated quarterback in the country. They are a very good team.

They should be the DX of college football
