WTF NOON? We should have the 3:30 abc slot that Wake/FSU got. Wake is a turd team that is getting molested by HOFer Andrew Luck right now and FSU was already exposed

were you counting on the slow motion replay?

9/19/2010 12:42:55 AM

i hate notre dame so much that i dont care if the clock expired 5 seconds before the snap. i just find this hilarious that they got jobbed.

9/19/2010 12:47:57 AM

My Wildcats manhandling a top 10 team, hopefully we can take the next step this season.

Yeah this really pisses me off. I'm going down to Atlanta for the game and was really counting on being able to take in some sights before kickoff.

And actually, now that I think about it, I can see why they chose Wake/FSU. Two teams with weak defenses = high scoring excitement. Or something like that.

bright side is at least we won't have to wait all day to see the game.

They showed that in the WVU game. Going in to the weekend the ACC was 1-6 against automatic qualifiers and the Big East was 0-5.

Now the records are:

ACC: 1-10
Big East: 1-6

They also had some power ratings that had the Big East 10th and the ACC 8th. Way too early for that to be meaningful though.

*** The only team in the ACC that looks like they are a good team is Clemson and forgive me for not taking that program seriously.

People are saying FSU looks good but ran in to a great team on the road, but that "great team" also played Utah State and Air Force at home and barely scraped by both by one score... meanwhile they hung half a hundred on FSU. They just aren't that good, this year (FSU)... again.

[Edited on September 19, 2010 at 9:43 AM. Reason : though, I suppose Miami is too]

9/19/2010 9:35:40 AM

I think it is clear that the ACC is a better conference this year than the Big East, but God both conferences are embarrassingly bad.

ACC has had some close calls against some decent teams, but cannot get a meaningful win yet. UVA vs USC, UNC vs LSU (even though it should have been a blow out), Clemson vs Auburn were all winningable games for the ACC. Plus some of the losses were against the best teams in the nation. Alabama-Duke, OSU-Miami, Oklahoma-FSU, Stanford-WFU (Stanford looks like a top-10 right now).

The GT loss to Kansas and the of course the VT loss to JMU were the true black eyes for the conference.

9/19/2010 9:53:37 AM

So, is this just going to be another year of the Big East and the ACC arguing about which is the shittier conference while the PAC-10's reputation get inflated by virtue of having a lockdown on west coast media and the MWC just glares at the BCS conferences and desperately hopes that someone will notice them?

9/19/2010 9:54:35 AM

I'm not sure how you can watch the Pac-10 and not think the are a great conference this year. IMO the are right there with the SEC this year in terms of depth...

People talk about the MWC but really, their overall resume doesn't come CLOSE to competing with the ACC or Big East over the past five seasons. The bottom of the conference is pitiful compared to even the worst BCS conferences...

9/19/2010 9:59:49 AM

Pac-10 actually looks very good this year outside of the state of Washington. Both Arizona teams look legit, Stanford is legit, USC will eventually get exposed, but are passing all of their tests so far, Oregon looks like a NC contender, Oregon State is a good team. Cal is garbage, UCLA beat the shit out of an over ranked Houston team.

I would not be surprised to see an Oregon vs. Alabama matchup in the national title game this year.

^that's not happening.

Clemson should have made the same call as MSU.

MSU's fake fg play was so nerve-wrecking that Dantonio suffered a heart attack today just thinking about the play

Chick-fil-A Kickoff to be a doubleheader in 2012

http://www.wralsportsfan.com/college_football/story/8312066/

Quote :

"ATLANTA — The Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game will be a doubleheader in 2012. Officials announced Saturday that Auburn will face Clemson in a season-opening game at the Georgia Dome, joining a previously announced contest between Tennessee and N.C. State. Specific times and dates for the two games have not been determined. Chick-fil-A Bowl president Gary Stokan says having two games on the opening weekend “will create a kickoff experience that’s never been seen before.” The announcement came hours before Auburn hosted Clemson in the first of a home-and-home series. LSU defeated North Carolina in this year’s kickoff game."

9/20/2010 10:16:34 AM

^
Got a bad feeling we will be playing at 1:00 on ESPN U while Clem/Auburn get a 8pm ABC kickoff.

9/20/2010 10:50:41 AM

^ No way in hell they put one of those games on ESPNU. Most likely our game will start at 4 pm, the other at 8 pm. I wish we could play UT this year instead of next year.

9/20/2010 1:32:08 PM

My guess is they will have the games on two different days. Seems easier than clearing out the dome between games.

9/20/2010 4:02:50 PM

yeah, I would think two different days... could get double the money for parking and such
