ACC Football- A Big Muddle

No one in the offices of the ACC could have asked for the schedule to work any better than how this seasons final weeks are working out. Who in the world at the beginning of the season saw Maryland and North Carolina State being any where close to the top?

Last night's last play win by Florida Start gives then a 5-2 conference record. The Terps and Pack are next at 4-2. Clemson loss last night gave them four losses and knock them out of any chance of winning the Atlantic Division.

This weekend Maryland and Florida State play each other. That should knock one or the other out but it doesn't. N C State plays Carolina and then they finish with Maryland. If either Maryland or State win both of their remaining games they will be the Atlantic division champs. There is still a chance for a three way tie.! If Maryland beats FSU, Carolina beats State and State beats Maryland there will be three teams with three losses.

Life is much simpler in the Coastal division. If Virginia Tech beats Miami Saturday they are the winners. Even if Miami wins Saturday over the Gobblers the Hokies can beat Virginia later and still win the Coastal.

Even though they are unbeaten in conference play Virginia Tech looks beatable by any of the three still with a chance to make it to Charlotte. I am sorry to say this but I just don't trust Tyrod Taylor to be my quarterback. He looks great on one play and over throws the next.

You know there is an forgotten team in our area. North Carolina Wesleyan, they finished off their season yesterday beating Averitt 28-13. They have tied for the conference championship but lost when they met Christopher Newport earlier this year. This is three of their four years playing football that they have either shared or won the conference crown. NCW has taken the fast track to winning football as they did not lose forty in a row like you would expect a fledgling program to do. The Bishops are certainly not fledgling.

Tonight on the "Stretchlon Sports show " we will be having a live show featuring the Rocky Mount Gryphon soccer team and the senior class. Were hoping to have the Nash Central soccer team but now hopefully next week.
