Geez...No way Clemson should've lost to Maryland, especially the way they played in the first half. Show Tammy Booden the door, please.

12:00 PM EST -Maryland @ #20 Clemson

Maryland has certainly been a roller coaster team this season, but it looks like they are finally starting to come together. Clemson has bounced back nicely after a terrible showing week one against Alabama. I look for this to be a surprisingly close game for the most part, but Clemson should prevail.

UMD-13 Clem-24



12:00 PM EST - Virginia @ Duke

Virginia has no doubt been struggling lately, but if there were ever a good time for a bounce back game, it's against Duke. UVA should win this one.

UVA-27 Duke-17

12:00 PM EST - North Carolina @ Miami

Miami has played like **** against UNC for the past 3-4 years now. UNC is without their starting QB which should help out the Canes. I am going to pick UNC because if they win, at least I can say I picked it right, and if they lose, I wont really care because the Canes won the game.

UNC-30 Miami-26

1:00 PM EST - Rhode Island @ Boston College

Should be an easy one for BC

RI-10 BC-34

3:30 PM EST - Colorado @ Florida State

Colorado proved that they can hang with the best of them (though WVU might not fit that category anymore) and FSU only proved that they have one of the worst offenses in the ACC. I'm going with the Buffs to take out the criminoles.

CU-27 FSU-10

3:45 PM EST - Navy @ #16 Wake Forest

Wake is on a great run right now. I dont really know too much about Navy, but I know enough to think Wake has a legit shot to win this game easily.

Navy-14 Wake-35

7:30 PM EST -#13 South Florida at North Carolina State

NC State had a nice little win last week against a top 15 team, however, ECU in no way shape or form was the 15th best team in the country. USF is far superior offensively and defensively than ECU is, and should give the (seemingly) cocky wolfpack fits.

USF-31 NCST-9

8:00 PM EST - Virginia Tech @ Nebraska

This has potential to be a great game. I was listening to Frank Beamer on his weekly radio show they play here, and he is in awe of Nebraska (for whatever reason). Nebraska has had a relatively weak schedule to this point, and this will be their first true test. I'm a little skeptical deciding either way in this matchup...

I'll say:

VT-24 Nebraska-28




Last week's record: 7-1 (including a dead on perfect NCST ECU prediction AND final score )

Season record: 28-8

wow pretty close on the miami carolina game. even though i hated that prediction.

Our defense is terrible

all we had to do was blitz and we get good things. but apparently no one of the coaching staff could think about that. but they probably thought well since our secondary is SOOOOOO bad we cant blitz but when we didnt blitz they would run. i hate them. we have 3 good corners coming in so once the crappy players cocker recruited are gone thats when we start smashing teams. but im getting sick of saying that. i wanna see it.

I predicted that in hopes of being wrong...I hated it myself.

He's talking about Coker, so I assume he's a Canes fan...idk.

Oh, i guess he thought i was talking about Miami.

[BRAVE KID]

guess I am going to establish myself as the only Duke fan, believe fairfan is also a duke fan as well...we must ban together

Duke has shown great improvement, and it is all b/c of cutcliff he put those guys into shape, and b/c they are in shape they can last the full game not only that but they are much better in the second half than the first. Finally Duke is showing some promise..some..great to see them improve.
