4 "ACC" teams in AP Top 10

[Tobacco Road]

Well, really just 3 current teams, but Louisville makes the cut, as well. Impressive, though FSU and Clemson likely can't both stay in for long.

The ACC needs FSU to lose to Clemson and Miami to set up undefeated teams in the ACCCG. An added bonus would be for Louisville to not play either in a BCS bowl.

Depends on how the FSU-Miami game goes down. If they beat Kimp's Son, and have a great game with UM, that rematch would draw a big TV number.

CU fans will disagree, but Winston has he most star power in the league right now.

For some reason FSU opened -3 at Clemson.

That would be a nice consolation prize to a battle of undefeated teams.

Clemson struggled against BC on Saturday as opposed to weeks ago.

I get that, but -3 is still a lot for a road team against the #3 team in the country IMO. They're saying FSU would be favored by around 9 in Tallahassee.

I think they're saying Clemson probably isn't a #3 team.

 

[Fuck Your Couch]

Clemson usually loses the game before FSU so struggling against BC was actually an improvement.

Either way, good for the conference to have several favorable outcomes this far in. The expansion vision is finally living up to its promise a little, aka Miami and FSU appear headed in the right direction.

Louisville - CU ACCCG in the near future would be the best ticket in league history. Those fanbases travel like SEC teams.

LSU looked better yesterday than FSU or CU have this season. I've only seen them play once though.

When FSU's offense clicks, it's frightening.

True, just thought LSU looked like a very complete team. Big time WRs, experienced QB, depth at RB and a monster defense. They will be a very difficult out I think. Alabama will have their hands full.

I'm biased toward the trend of LSU QBs being overrated. Mettenberger looks better than most though.

FSU is pretty damn complete too. Winston is young, but i would take hm over nearly every QB in the country. That guy is a flat-out stud.

More Wellman talking points.

Is the Clemson/FSU game the biggest in ACC history? Obviously, FSU/Miami had some big games in the day, but that was before Miami came into the ACC.

Good question. The GT/UVA game in 1990 came to mind, but I looked it up and UVa was #1 but GT was only #16 at the time. The BC/VT game with Matt Ryan (the one where he yakked?) was a top 10 matchup I think.

Why is Florida ranked? They've beaten four trash teams, but have lost to the only two real teams they have played (none of their wins currently have winning records).
