GT over ND
I really like what the GT coach is doing. I’ve watched a few GT games and the play and improvement on the offensive line is amazing over the last couple of years. Haynes King is also a qb that can beat a good team. I think this one will come down to the wire and Marcus Freeman is going to be on the hot seat when the clock turns zero.
Stanford over SMU
SMU had a big win over Louisville, but has to travel half way across the country for a night game. I think Stanford is a tough smart team. They have just lacked a good passing attack and we injured their mobile qb who should be back to full strength. I think SMU gets exposed and Stanford beats them by 1-2 scores

I agree, I think Louisville is going to be a tough game at home for Miami. Not calling the upset, but won't be surprised if it happens.

The thing about Miami is no lead is safe. Don’t care how good your D is - you can beat them for 3 quarters but they can score 21 points in a heartbeat

Any team can score 21 in the 4th quarter if the Refs help to get the ball back. Make the targeting call, which didn't happened at Cal, and Miami loses.

And deserved to lose
But, they have a potent offense.
I’m torn - on one hand I want to play them undefeated in the ACC championship for pride, but on the other hand I hope they get knocked off and we have an easier opponent and path to the playoffs

I wouldn't go quite that far, they have been all over Travis Hunters jock sniffing it like a dawg too, if Wards is option 1 Hunter is definitely the backup plan.

If the Stanford QB's back to full strength, it could be a game. SMU defense is suspect. Giving up 42 against a bad bad tcu team gives me hope that Stanford keeps it close and wins in a close one. But unfortunately I think SMU offense is potent enough to outscore them.
I think ND will win by a couple scores but tech keeps it close. Agree with you, like the way tech is playing above their weight so to speak.
Agree with others, thinking Louisville takes Miami down. Either way, we'll learn whether or not Louisville is a decent team, and if ND is just an imposter.

King got hurt last week @ UNC & is listed day-to-day...that'll hurt them if he's unable to go. But I really hope they pull the upset, would be a big win for Coach Key & them, plus would be nice to see someone in ACC other than us punch ND in the mouth for once.
Louisville over Miami would be huge if Cards can pull it off @ home. Helps us in the ACC title race + need Louisville (& Pitt) to have best records possible by time they play us. The teams in front half of schedule we thought would be challengers have fell flat on their faces, so Pitt & UL are gonna be our best chances for T25/marquee wins for the resume.

Thanks for the update on king. Thanks to Newnan too. I didn't realize that.
Agree, we definitely need Pitt to emerge. They'll be in the top 12 minimum imo if they come into our game undefeated because they have 2 games with 1 loss cuse and smu. Maybe even a GameDay but I don't know what other games are against ours.

Thank you for the obvious. It's still not an ACC upset if it's not an ACC game.

I don't really care about SMU and Stanford. Would be fine with me if SMU wins.
GT over ND.
UL over Miami.
And,
FSU over Duke.
That's right. That's just how bad FSU is. FSU is 22-0 all time against Duke. Never lost to them. Ever.
But, Duke is favored over FSU. Last I saw it was 3.5 points.
Only twice has the final score been under 20 point difference (19 and 7).
But, this year, Duke is favored. That's how bad things are in Tallahassee.

Duke would be 5-1 and FSU would be 1-5.
Strange days indeed.
It's at Duke so both fans will be there to secure that big Duke homefield advantage (lol!). Wouldn't surprise me for the FSU fans to be louder than the Duke fan.

I could see GT in a close win over ND, but Stanford has no shot at beating SMU IMO.

I like Stanford to pull the upset over the Mustangs for a different reason. SMU lost to a physical BYU team. What is Stanford? Physical in the trenches.
I won't so far as to guarantee it; but I think you are spot on with saying it could happen.
After ND lost to NIU; "who knows"?
Schizophrenic ND is like that line in Forest Gump: "you never know what you're going to get"!
