Do we really need to fear anyone in this conference?

Wow, that is all I have to say. First let me first say that after this weekend it is easy to say that the ACC sucks. Yes I said it. What are you going to do about it. Look at how the teams fared:

Wake Forest - A lot of people are high on them right now after there victory against Baylor (41-13). But seriously look at their stats from the game; they ran the ball 44 times and were only able to output 156 yards that is 3.5 yards a carry. Baylor is a team that allowed rushers to go for more then 180 yards on them each game last year. And all of the sudden Wake cannot run on them. Baylor is suppose to be the Duke of the Big 12.

Miami - Not a whole lot to complain about here. Miami took care of business, they did however play against Charleston Southern, but not bad. Major props to Jacob Harris for stepping in a playing an outstanding game.

Georgia Tech - Well it looks like Paul Johnson was able to get his offense working to bad it wasn't again an actual opponent we will see soon enough how effective it is in the ACC. How soon you ask? Try next week when they face off again BC, who's rushing defense was number one in the nation last year.

North Carolina State - One question; how the hell does your offense not put any points on the board after your defense grabs 4 INTS for you? Embarrassing! This is a team that clearly has issues. Their defense wasn't that bad they held USCe to 3 points before the half. To bad their offense is absolutely terrible. Gosh and I thought FSU offense was bad last year. I think for this game we can simply put the fans in to play defense and we will win this by 2 scores.

Virginia Tech - Another embarrassing lose to another pathetic team. Let's take a look at East Carolina last year; their defense allowed 29.8 points a game, their offense was able to average about 30 points a game playing C-USA opponents. The final score for Saturdays game again Virginia Tech; 27-22 East Carolina. Unbelievable! We are talking about a team that couldn't stop their opponent from scoring in the 30's all of last season was able to hold VT to 22. Either East Carolina got better or VT got worse. I am going with the later of the two.

Virginia - I don't have a lot to say about this one. Why? Because I didn't watch the game. Why? Because it doesn't take Nostradamus to predict that it was going to be 50 something to.....who cares Virginia was going to lose anyway.

Maryland - A certain ACC blogger said on her blog that Maryland would be a surprise team this year. Well it turns out she might be the only one to be surprised to find they only beat Delaware by a touchdown.

Boston College - Does anyone know what Matt Ryan's record as a starter in the preseason is? 2-1. Hey did you know if you put those two together that is how many points BC was to score about the "high powered defense monster" that is Kent State? Yeah. Just as I thought.

Duke - Here at Seminole Source I like to think I am a very rational person. Someone who thinks deeply and makes sense. Right now will not be one of those times. Because I am about to say something bold. Duke, today you are the best team in the conference. Celebrate hard because next week you play Northwestern and you will probably lose that game.

North Carolina - Didn't play all that great. In fact they are bad too. It just didn't come as a surprise as oh lets say.....

Clemson - 8.....The number 8 is a Fibonacci number, being 3 plus 5. The next Fibonacci number is 13. 8 is the only Fibonacci number that is a perfect cube. Why am I telling you all this? Well because that is the only reason that I can come up with as to why Tommy Bowden only gave Davis and Spiller 8 carries in that game.


Well I won't be doing an ACC game by game break down every week. If I did I would rename this Blog to ACC source rather then Seminole Source. Check back everyday for a new blog entry and also for website updates. I hope to pretty this thing up soon.
