The ACC is right down to its last week of the common season. SMU is ready for both the Miami Hurricanes or Clemson Tigers to face them for the ACC Championship subsequent Saturday night time in Charlotte. Moreover that, there are a number of convention and non-conference rivalry video games on the slate. Come on Miami! Beat Syracuse!
Let’s do some rooting.
Stanford @ San Jose State – 11/29 at 4:00 PM EST, TV – CBS
The Cardinal misplaced to their arch-rival Cal final weekend. I suppose there wasn’t a method for them to play this weekend. No matter. At the very least Stanford can get a win to shut out their first season within the ACC. I ponder what number of Stanford followers shall be at Exhausting Rock for the Miami sport subsequent yr. A pair dozen? Perhaps. Let’s go San Jose State.
Georgia Tech @ #7 Georgia – 11/29 at 7:30 PM EST, TV – ABC
The Yellow Jackets higher be prepared for all they’ll deal with tomorrow night time. I believe Kirby Good goes to have his Bulldogs able to go of their pre-SEC Championship Recreation matchup. I see Georgia getting plenty of hate in comparison with different groups. I believe they’ve a stable resume in comparison with different CFP hopefuls. Plus, I’m not afraid of Carson Beck within the least. Allow them to in! Nonetheless, it could be hilarious to see one more SEC staff go down. Let’s go Georgia Tech.
Matchup of the Week

#15 South Carolina @ #12 Clemson – 11/30 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – ESPN
This can be a “loser leaves city” matchup for this yr’s CFP. If South Carolina wins, they’ve one other spectacular win and might make their case for an at-large bid. If Clemson wins, they’ve one other spectacular win and might make their case for an at-large bid. These groups are virtually mirror photographs of one another. For Miami’s sake, it’s a straightforward alternative for me. Let’s go South Carolina.
Duke @ Wake Forest – 11/30 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
Duke’s three losses are to Georgia Tech, Miami, and SMU. Not dangerous. Not dangerous in any respect. Manny Diaz’s squad has been stable all-season lengthy. Wake Forest’s offense doesn’t deal properly with strain, and making use of strain is precisely what Diaz thrives on as a defensive coach. I see a 9-3 document with a good bowl sport of their future. Let’s go Duke.
Louisville @ Kentucky – 11/30 at 12:00 PM EST, TV – SEC Community
The Cardinals whooped up on Pitt final weekend. Kentucky has misplaced 5 SEC video games in a row since they’re upset over Ole Miss. I believe Jeff Brohm’s squad sends a message to their in-state rival with a beatdown this weekend. I ponder who shall be Louisville’s QB subsequent season? Let’s go Louisville.
Pittsburgh @ Boston Faculty – 11/30 at 3:00 PM EST, TV – CW
BC bounced again with a pleasant win over UNC final weekend. Invoice O’Brien has his staff buzzing once more, and on the good time. It’s at all times good to play good in November. Your staff feels good, they observe onerous earlier than the bowl sport, and so they have one thing to construct off of going into the next season. In the meantime, I don’t like Pitt and need them to lose. Let’s go Boston Faculty.
Cal @ #9 SMU – 11/30 at 3:30 PM EST, TV – ESPN2
Might this be a difficult matchup for Rhett Lashlee’s squad? Perhaps, however I don’t suppose so. Cal might be pesky, however the Mustangs are going to be centered on the duty at hand: ending as the one undefeated staff in ACC play. Past that, I wish to see each SMU and Miami make the CFP, assuming the Canes beat Syracuse and get to play the Mustangs in Charlotte subsequent weekend. Let’s go SMU.
NC State @ UNC – 11/30 at 3:30 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
Whoever wins this sport will really feel so a lot better about themselves heading into subsequent season. The Wolfpack have a younger, dynamic QB who could have a complete offseason to get higher. The Tar Heels overcame a four-game dropping streak to proper the ship offensively. I don’t actually care who wins to be fully sincere. It’s irritating that UNC has had Miami’s quantity the previous few seasons. Replace: UNC fired coach Mack Brown, in order that they’ll be searching for a brand new course in 2025. Let’s go NC State.
Florida @ FSU – 11/30 at 7:00 PM EST, TV – ESPN2
If it had been as much as Florida State followers (and probably their teaching workers and a few of the gamers), I believe they’d love to only finish the season and prepare for 2025. The Gators are taking part in their greatest ball proper now. Their younger QB DJ Lagway seems to be like he may simply be one of the best younger QB in faculty soccer. I don’t suppose the Seminoles need any a part of that. Let’s go Florida.
Virginia @ Virginia Tech – 11/30 at 8:00 PM EST, TV – ACC Community
I discussed it in my ACC Energy Rankings, however the Hokies dropping their final sport of the season to their rival, whereas lacking out on a bowl sport after having legit expectations this season could be the worst method to finish the yr. I’m right here for it and would like to see it. Let’s go Virginia.
See you quickly for bowl matchups!
