Week 8 ACC/FBS Games for Oct 17-21

[djcon57]

FWIW, we’re gonna win some games down the stretch. I think any talk of going 0-5 is totally insanity.

Probably but I think 5-0 is honestly more insane

 

[HRE Otto IV]

Imagine how many titles Lincoln Riley would have if he could ever field a competent D.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Watching Duke be physical with FSU, I think power teams like Michigan and Georgia would punish FSU.

 

[UpstateSM]

Riley and Caleb are both frauds

Blowouts happen, but you need to win some of these games. The fact that we haven't beaten a decent team (ended the year with less than 5 losses) since 2018 says a lot. You can't have your best win in the last 5 years be over an 8-5 team and have all these blowouts.

Damn that's a crazy stat. It's college football crazy stuff happens all the time but not for us apparently.

I think Michigan is the best team in America and yes they would smash FSU

 

[NYCCuse826]

UNC dropping that game is stunning. There's a lot of poor football being played across the country on a weekly basis but no one acts like it's happening. That's a loss where you fire someone to make a point.

 

[Bulldog04]

I don’t think these refs will allow Duke to win if they have any say in it

 

[storange]

Tonight's results are showing how inept we have been. I am seriously worried about getting 2 more wins. We have made NC and FSU look like the 72 Dolphins. Duke and lowly Virginia have shown otherwise. Every team we play seems to be on the upswing (even Pitt) while we are regressing.

I’m not , there is an ebb and flow, Dino was definitely trying to get ready for the closing stretch, I don’t agree with that approach but that’s what’s happening. I believe I posted that UNC wasn’t that good. We will go 3-2 and end up 7-5 is my guess .

 

[Scooch]

Game is over if Leonard can’t get back on the field. FSU might even cover now.

 

[PoppyHart]

We’re all watching other teams being competitive with the tougher teams in the ACC and what I’m afraid of is, Wildhack has zero clue. We can all see we’re not going anywhere but doesn’t matter what we think.

Dino has built up a lot of equity I’m afraid.

Win or lose, I'm impressed with Duke. Look legit against a good team on the road. How'd they do it? Portal? Coaching changes? Whatever they did...do it. Similar program to Syracuse record wise over the last 20 years, similar recruiting prowess, private school with tough academic standards. What was their blueprint?

Yupp gotta treat trying to make FSU happy even though they'll be SEC/B1G/independent in two years regardless. Pathetic

Elko will be A&M or Miss St's coach next season. He has made himself so much money. Deserves it, too.

I agreed with this when I first read it and still agree with it to some degree. But then I remember how many times we can look like a legit team then by this time of the year, struggle to even get 3rd downs.

 

[Scooch]

We’re unlikely to go 5-0. But there were A LOT of people here preseason saying this was an 8 or 9 win team.

We use the tough academic standards a lot. I think we’re about eighth in the conference.

Seems clear that our primary goal the past 3 games was to not get anyone hurt. We’re heading into late October healthier than we’ve been in years.

If we collapse, against a soft-as-melted-butter schedule, that’s damning

 

[PoppyHart]

Why does Fowler keep saying “Daniels”?

 

[hoopsupstate]

Miami has to be one of the worse coached teams in the country. They have about 25-30 top 300 players on their roster. Recruiting isn’t their issue.

Every time I think it won’t happen, I feel like I’m watching a team I don’t know.

Yep, so we’d have to go 4-1. I think it would be an enormous ask. Again, over under is currently 6.5

I think 2-3 is most likely. Hopefully 3-2

Analytics are just probabilities. Coaches can be just as dumb blindly following them as ignoring them.

 

[PhatOrange]

That was a terrible 3rd down call.

 

[suorange08]

UCF loses by two after the refs gift Oklahoma three points at the end of the first half. What a joke.

Lol the UCF DB hooked and pulled. The overhead camera showed it
