Don't Believe the Board

The ACC is going to be nuts this year. Three games in, EVERY team has at least one loss...except preseason last place pick Virginia.

There were two absolute blowouts last night in which the final scores inched back towards respectable. Don't be fooled by the scores. Clemson has bounced back from their conference opening beatdown by Duke and looked awesome last night humiliating North Carolina. The Tarheels were out-toughed in embarrasing fashion and their backcourt's (particularly their ballhandling) woes are becomming glaring.

Meanwhile Miami's big test could be scored an F- despite losing by "only" 18 at Virginia Tech. At one point they were down 35-8 in the first half and never contended in the game for a second. It makes the 15-1 record even more suspect than is was coming in.

Your guess in the ACC is as good as anyone elses. Really, I can't recall a league being more chaotic one through twelve. I'm not sure we are going to see too much seperation even by the end of the season, But next week I'll take a stab at a few projections.

Here's three quick ones:
@ Duke wins the league
@ Georgia Tech and Clemson are the most formidable
Challengers
@ Virginia finishes under .500
