A lot can happen with 4 more games.

The way it goes with your teams I figured that I should give you props now

Yeah, that was a good idea. Thanks

If the 'Canes beat Wake and Syracuse they'll be ACC-tied with Clemson at 7-1, without having played each other. Assuming that ACC 6-0 SMU doesn't choke (vs UVA and Cal), how will they settle the tiebreaker for which other team plays it?

[O Really]

Eliminate any team whose school starts with "C" or whose coach doesn't have a real name.

You've got my vote for ACC Commissioner.


Not a lot of changes to the College Football Rankings.
Bama moved up 3 to #7 after beating Mercer.
TN dropped 4 to #11, perhaps putting it on the bubble.
BYU dropped 8 to #14 , knocking it out unless it wins the Big 12 Championship.
Ole Miss and GA each moved up 2 to #9 and #10, perhaps off the bubble.
Illinois sneaked into the rankings at #25. GOGoCubsGoGO.

Ah, yeppers.

The Duke’s Mayo Bowl is an annual college football bowl game that has been played at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, since 2002. Originally commissioned as the Queen City Bowl, it has undergone many name changes due to sponsorship rights. The game currently features a matchup between a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and a team from the Southeastern Conference (SEC), the Big Ten Conference or the Big 12 Conference.

December 27, 2023: West Virginia 30, North Carolina 10
