The ACC doesn’t appear to be getting the respect it deserves this school soccer season. The Miami Hurricanes had been jumped within the newest CFP rankings by Alabama. Did Miami lose a sport? No, that they had a bye final week. Did Alabama beat a great SEC staff? No, they beat Mercer, an FCS staff. (Deep sigh). I’m not even going to deliver up the constant SMU disrespect. Okay, time to lighten the temper.
Let’s do some rooting.
NC State @ Georgia Tech – 11/21 at 7:30 PM EST, TV – ESPN
The Yellow Jackets higher not have a letdown after their upset win over Miami. They’re a greater staff than NC State. I simply hope they don’t overlook the Wolfpack for his or her season finale sport vs Georgia. GT higher be prepared for a fired up Bulldogs squad trying to win by 100 factors. Let’s go Georgia Tech.

#13 SMU @ Virginia – 11/23 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – ESPN2
After pulling off the upset at Pitt a pair weeks go, Virginia acquired smoked at Notre Dame. Tony Elliott’s squad has one other probability for a large win this Saturday towards the Mustangs. That stated, I feel Rhett Lashlee could have his staff able to go, particularly with how low they’ve been positioned within the CFP rankings to date. As a lot as I’d prefer to see a Miami SMU matchup within the ACC Championship sport, I’ve to do what’s greatest for my Canes. Let’s go Virginia.
UNC @ Boston School – 11/23 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – CW
BC put up an honest battle towards SMU final Saturday. They saved it shut, however simply couldn’t rating sufficient factors to drag off the upset. UNC is taking part in gentle years higher than they had been in September. They’ve some good momentum constructing for 2025. I discover myself rooting for Invoice O’Brien’s squad for some cause. Let’s go Boston School.
UConn @ Syracuse – 11/23 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
The Huskies are 7-3, winners of three in a row. The Orange are additionally 7-3, albeit towards a harder schedule. Probably the most fascinating facet of this sport is the truth that they’re former Massive East rivals. That’s all I acquired. Let’s go Syracuse.
Charleston Southern @ FSU – 11/23 at 1:30 PM EST, TV – ACC Additional
What number of Florida State followers are going to indicate as much as Doak Campbell Stadium to observe this sport? I can’t think about it’ll be various thousand. If I had been a Seminoles fan, I’d wish to go because it may be the final probability to see an FSU soccer win for a lot of months. Hey-o! Let’s go Charleston Southern.
The Citadel @ #17 Clemson – 11/23 at 3:30 PM EST, TV – CW
Clemson and FSU actually try to be SEC groups with how they schedule a cupcake late within the season. Sadly for the Tigers, a dominant win over The Citadel just isn’t going to maneuver the needle for them so far as the CFP rankings. In any case, solely a staff like Alabama must be rewarded by beating an FCS staff. Disgraceful. Let’s go Citadel.
Stanford @ Cal – 11/23 at 3:30 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
The Massive Recreation is now part of the ACC. Makes good sense. The Cardinal are using excessive after their last-second house win over Louisville. The Golden Bears are overrated and may’t win a detailed sport. Nonetheless, they’re double-digit favorites for some cause. I feel Stanford covers and hopefully wins. Let’s go Stanford.
Virginia Tech @ Duke – 11/23 at 8:00 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
It’s an underachiever vs overachiever matchup. The Hokies aren’t having the season they thought they might. The Blue Devils are having nearly as good of a season as they may ask for in Manny Diaz’s first 12 months. Duke will get one other primetime ACC Community matchup on their schedule. Good for them. Let’s go Duke.
See you subsequent week!
