The fact that you included Wake Forest among their "good teams" shows just how bad the ACC is these days.

Very much akin to Mizzou winning the SEC East for a couple of years simply because the Vols, UGa and Florida all sucked at the same time.

If anything it shows America how little depth at QB NC State and Utah have behind their starters. NC State did finally let their QB open things up at the end to salvage their game.

Yeah WF will be back to 6-7 wins when Sam Hartman heads to the NFL.

I wouldn't be too critical of Barnes (Utah QB) last night, it's my understanding he didn't know he was going to play until kickoff. Rising was in full warm up mode for the game, he apparently just couldn't go at game time. Barnes didn't hurt Utah with turnovers. Plus, Utah loves to just pound the ball so he really didn't have much to do other than not make mistakes. I think Barnes had thrown something like 8 passes over his two years with Utah and I believe those were in garbage time.

I'm really curious what's wrong with Rising, he's a good one, very tough competitor, for him not to play something must be serious, plus I think Utah was coming off a bye week. Very curious.....

And yes, my Ducks get Utah in the a couple weeks and they've been pretty tough on my Ducks recently.

Both of them ended up fine, it’s just weird to me that we have 4 scholarship quarterbacks while both Utah and NC State have walk-ons as backups.

That’s so bad…

That’s inexplicable to me. Notre Dame is pretty bad. I think UNC’s defense has improved, but their resume is not strong, and I actually think they’ll win the Coastal. Hell, we could actually play Carolina in the Orange Bowl if we drop a couple and don’t make the CFP.

I’d rather not drop a couple but hanging 50+ on them wouldn’t upset me either

I think if Tennessee goes 11-1 it's either the Sugar or Orange Bowl.
