4-2 (1-1) BC is in Blacksburg facing the 3-3 (1-1) Hokies. Pry is still trying to show that he can be the long term replacement for Beamer, who, like Bobby Bowden, stayed on for too long and so did the program he led a great disservice in term of its future after the legend must be gone. O'Brien is looking to secure BC's slot as a winning team across the season.

Friday

1-5 (1-4) FSU heads to Wallace Wade to take on the 5-1 (1-1) Blue Devils. Dook is looking to secure bowl eligibility, while FSU is hoping for a near miracle turn around to a nightmare season that should still be winless (Cal played the better game in Tallahassee).

Saturday

The Big Game is Noon on ABC: 6-0 (2-0) Miami at 4-2 (2-1) Louisville. The Canes have the talent edge, but Brohm is a first rate coach and Louisville often plays gangbusters at Home. A Cards upset would have them looking good to make the ACC Championship Game. A Canes loss would hurt the chances of the ACC getting 2 teams in the playoffs.

2-4 (1-2) Wake heads to CFB heartland in East Hartford, CT (where 10 times more people care about the NHL than about UConn FB) to take on 4-2 UConn. Yes, UConn has a batter record than UNC and Moo and Wake, which says a great deal about why the ACC is in the mess it's in. The 2 UConn losses are to Maryland and Dook.

4-2 (2-1) UVA is running the gauntlet in Death Valley. Tony Elliott and his staff seem to have the Cavaliers turned around, and Dabo seems to have 5-1 (4-0) Clemson back on track as well. Remember, Clemson even played a good 1st Half vs. UGA.

The 3-4 (0-3) Fightin' Wufs head all the way west to Berkeley to have a Sit In for the rights of losing teams to be honored. The interesting fact is that 3-3 (0-3) Cal has lost its 3 ACC games by a grand total of 8 points. And both Miami and Pitt remain undefeated. The Cal Bears are not a soft, ditzy Mack Brown coached team. Hopefully they put it all together and stomp Moo for their first ACC win.

5-2 (3-2) GT hosts 5-1 ND at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, which takes away any GT Home Field advantage. Haynes King was injured last week at UNC going into the game and clearly was not at his best at any point. He did get knocked out of the game. If King is fully healthy, GT has a a passing game and could make a close game of it. The ACC sure could use that W.

5-1 (2-0) SMU will head to Silicon Valley to face 2-4 (1-2) Stanford. The lone SMU loss is to ranked BYU, which means that the Ponies could be a major threat to reach the ACC CCG. Can they avoid the let down after that big Road win at Louisville?
