ACC bedlam - Jan 20

[ASUG8]

Wake Forest drops #24 UNC by 13 in Chapel Hill and likely creeps into the top 25

NCSU beats #7 Duke by 14 in Raleigh

Obviously glad to see my Deacons beat the boys in baby blue, and especially glad to see Duke fall at the hands of anyone.

Great day when both lose

I agree! Full disclosure: my favorite ACC team is Georgia Tech.

[ASUG8]

I paid Wake far too much money to pull for anyone else. Plus, I was a fan of Skip Prosser and I find Dino Gaudio to be a solid replacement in the same mold.

UNC has lost 3 consecutive conference games. Awesome.

Throw in the College of Charleston loss and it gets even better.

UNC losing helps UNI...some.

Way to go Deacons! You know Tribe fans are pulling for you.

Getting very realistic there could be a March Madness without Carolina Blue in it this year.

As much as I don't like the Heels, there's still too much basketball left. If they get to .500 in league play they'll make the dance.

Duke pulling away from Clumpson in the second half...

Nice win for FSU today picking up a sweep of Georgia Tech. Both games were exciting. ;thumb:

Wow, I've never seen the ACC as weak as it is this year. Is this close to a low point for the past how many years??

I agree - two teams in the top 25? Usually the ACC will have at least 4, normally 2 in the top 10.

[tampajag]

there's not as much star power as the league usually has. there's still some dangerous teams, but I don't see any real Final Four contenders.

I have to pull for BC...only because of what it would do for the RPI of UNI.
