• Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest all had convincing victories, with Duke's coming on ... the ... road? If the Fighting Cutcliffes want to be bowl eligible, they better win two of three against UMd, UVa and UNC because their last three games will be pretty rough. But it's not out of the realm of possibility that we could see a Duke-Army rematch in the Congressional Bowl. Doesn't that bowl matchup sound sexy?
• The winner of the Virginia Tech-Georgia Tech game will be bowl eligible.
• Georgia Tech's offense is finally rolling. However, its defense looks like it's regressing. I fully expect that second trend to reverse this weekend against the Hokies. The Jacket D will be ready.
• How in God's name did Maryland beat Clemson? The Terps are just awful right now.
• The two intradivision Atlantic games next week will tell us a lot about that division.
• The Hokies played a near perfect game against BC. But we can't expect them to play like that every week. We're a good team and our next loss (and there will be a next loss this year) won't validate any pundits that say we're overrated or mean the Hokies aren't a good team. It'll just mean we got beat like every other team out there. My guess is we'll still finish the regular season 10-2.
• And don't look at the score from Saturday and think BC's done. The Eagles can still easily win the Atlantic by beating other teams in their division. As the Hokies have learned the last two years, losses to teams from the other division don't sink your Orange Bowl hopes.
• If Clemson beats Wake next week, we're going to have a massive cluster in the Atlantic. Same in the Coastal if Georgia Tech beats the Hokies. So if you're a fan of chaos, and I typically am, you're rooting for the Tigers and Jackets.
• The O'Brien Bowl is pretty much an elimination game in the Atlantic. Three conference losses this early on is tough to bounce back from.
