Scary Small Print: I'm not sold on the ACC and I don't renege any of my previous ACC comments; however, I do have to give praise where praise has been earned.
So.....what do I know about the ACC after three weeks?
1) Duke, UVA and Maryland are awful, in fact, I can smell their stench from here.
2) GT and UNC are overrated. They aren't bad teams, but they certainly shouldn't be around a #15 ranking. They belong with Clemson in the 20-30 range.
3) VT may still be the team to beat, I'll let you know for sure next saturday. Also, their win over Nebraska really isn't anything to hang your hat on. I know they beat a ranked Nebraska team, but before we get carried away let's remember it's not the 80's.
4) Two teams that may have missed the 80's memo are U and FSU. #9 Miami is returning to familiar territory and FSU looked vintage as they out classed a solid BYU team 54-28. I'll go ahead turn on upset alert sign for Miami though as their match up with VT has all the makings of a let down (hyped, young over-achievers vs. solid under-achievers) but if they can get through their first four 3-1 it's hard not to be impressed.
5) Wake, NCST, and BC aren't worth the ink (or bits of memory) it takes to write about them. They aren't bad or good enough to turn any heads.
Finally after the first two weeks the ACC finally put up something they can be proud of (at least when considering the standards their play has set in recent years).
