The Schizophrenic ACC

Someone help me figure this conference out.

Really.

Let me make sure I have this right.

Wake Forest goes TO Tallahassee and beats FSU on their home field. At night.

Then proceeds to lose to Navy. At home.

Clemson, with all the preseason hype, a top 10 team no less, loses at home to Maryland.

Maryland then proceeds to go to UVA and get SHUT OUT 31-0. Keep in mind this was after beating TWO ranked teams. Cal and Clemson.

Also keep in mind this is the same UVA team that was destroyed at Connecticut and Duke.

Speaking of Connecticut, they got blanked at North Carolina last night.

Oh, and this is the same UNC team that lost at home to VT, then went to Miami and beat them.

And Miami is now 0-2 in conference after getting beaten at home 42-39 to FSU.

The Coastal Division winner looks to be VT if they can hold on and lose minimal games to BC, FSU and Miami.

The Atlantic? Who wants it less?

Maryland had it in the bag, then decided not to make the trip to Charlottesville.

If Wake Forest beats Clemson this coming Thursday night, it will be theirs to lose.

Virginia Tech might be the ONLY team doing what they were supposed to do and what they have been doing since they joined the ACC in 2004. Win conference games.

I know that you are supposed to beat each other up in conference games, but it seems all teams are doing is beating THEMSELVES up.

Who can figure this conference out?

Surely not me.
