We’ll borrow from our friends in and around Boston in describing what lay ahead this weekend. It’s some wicked big fun my friend. Pull up your chair, cooler, grill and gather your football fanatic friends for a Labor Day Weekend, ACC style.
Let’s get last week’s business out of the way early so we can get into the meat of this piece. All of our guys picked correctly so they go into week 1 with perfect records. That very well may change as a few have gone against the grain in their picks this go round. A look at last week’s picks.

College Football | Tigers Dominate, Pack Looming Week 1
There’s less agreement on the grid than usual in what most would assume are easy picks. Apparently, no one should rush to conclusions too early. In what would be considered upsets the majority have gone with Appalachian State over North Carolina following a questionable performance by the Tar Heels defense.
The other pick this weekend is Florida State taking out LSU in New Orleans. The Seminoles demonstrated that as the season progresses that both the offense and defense are not to be toyed with and a win here would created an enormous amount of chatter in college football.
Our man looking at the numbers, Jim B, has his weekend predictions of the final scores –
- Pitt 37 WVU 24
- Wake 42 VMI 14
- VT 28 ODU 10
- Duke 34 Temple 24
- NC St 38 ECU 24
- BC 27 Rutgers 24
- App St 37 UNC 34
- UVA 34 Rich 16
- Mia 50 Beth-Cook 14
- Syr 23 Lou 17
- FSU 37 LSU 34
- Clem 40 GT 20
