Pithy Comments

- The ACC starts 7-3 in non-conference games, but is 1-3 against BCS teams. One again, the media rails against the conference as being week. Same song, different verse.
- NC State crushes South Carolina, Cal puts up huge offensive numbers in an easy win over Maryland, Wake Forest loses a shootout to Baylor and the Hokies lose by a touchdown to Alabama.
- FSU wins a high-scoring affair in Tallahassee on Labor Day.

I think Wake Forest will beat Baylor. Sad face with Alabama over VT.
