Yeah, I know all that "...when I die I'm a Tarheel dead" stuff, but they've made such a mess I'm hoping for a total disaster year - a year disastrous enough to have a complete house cleaning - Belichick, little Belichick, the girl friend, any coaches he brought along and maybe any players he recruited, Cunningham and anybody on staff that thought this was a good idea, and then put up a tombstone in the parking lot of Kenan for people to spit/piss/barf/dump warm beer on.

Okay then. Don't forget dancing on their collective grave.

NOT 8 Ole Miss 6-1 down3 after losing @9 Georgia 43-35. Next @13 Oklahoma. I'm rooting for another loss.
9 Miami 5-1 down7 after losing to Louisville 24-21 in Miami. Coulda been worse, still Top 10. GoO ReallyGo!

10 Vanderbilt 6-1 up7 after beating 10 LSU 31-24, which dropped 10. Next another test vs 15 Missouri.

14 Texas Tech 6-1 down7 after losing to unranked @Arizona State 26-22.

23 Illinois 5-2 moved into the ranking after a bye week Next @Washington

Others receiving votes: ... San Diego State 7 votes, up from 2 votes last week. At this pace they'll get ranked early in the 2026 season . Boise State 4 votes....

'Canes have no excuse not to stomp.

I didn't bother listing them. They're favored by 29.5 over Stanford, who I would have picked with a narrower spread. We agree on the rest.

Isn't this new ACC nuts?

Trivia:
Oklahoma Memorial Stadium sold out every game since 1999, >80K people.
