A very tough stretch in the season looks even more difficult.

Miami
@ Boston College
@ Clemson

Miami is the class of the ACC, a playoff team with Cam Ward.

BC looks really tough at home. A nice win over Michigan State.

Clemson is now clicking after getting embarrassed by Georgia. Their running game with the QB and RB is elite.

I heard it was on Peacock. Anyone know for sure what we will have in Louisville?...

Pretty incredible to see UNC losing to James Madison 70 to 50! UNC was 3-0 with a first week win over Minnesota.

lead UNC 32/21 in 2Q LOOKING GOOD

Week 4 starts the in conference games in earnest as the teams have mostly finished their OOC games. I am starting late this season to run this pic um challenge for bragging rights due to some time and health issues mostly...but I hope to find the time and energy each week for the rest of the year to do this.

Please understand if I miss a week but my plan right now is to do this for the rest of the cfb season. So lets get started. Here are my best guess, chime in and I will tabulate and post the winner so he/she can brag for a week or so:

21 Sep Week 4 Games:

BC vs Michigan St - Eagles return to win column and fly over the Spartans in a hard fought close one

Cal @ FSU - Noles take down Cardinal hard...stop their losing streak....welcome to the ACC...this ain't the PAC12/6 dudes

Clemson vs NC St - Closer than expected but Tigers use that Death Valley advantage for the W

Duke @ Middle Tenn - Puke in a throwup easy victory

*GTech @ Cards - Cards in a close one all the way from start to finish just like last time--Tiebreaker game score
Cards 31 Tech 17-- as Cards score last TD with 2 minutes to spare in 4th Q

Miami vs USF - could be an upset but Canes have home field advantage over the Bulls

UNC vs James Madison - UNC should prevaii in a not so close one but JMU has a new coach so who knows?

Pitt vs Youngstown St - Should be a cake walk for the Panthers

SMU @ TCU - the Dallas/Ft Worth rivalry game goes to the Horn Frogs in an entertaining shoot out

Stanford @ Cuse -- (20 Sep) - A very unfriendly welcome to the ACC as the Orange Crush the Cardinal,,,gets ugly too

UVA @ Coastal Carolina - Cavaliers escape the upset barely; how did CC get this as a home game?

VT vs Rutgers - In this toss up game to me...this Tech upsets the Rutgirls in a close one

Wake Forrest - bye - Well Fake Worrest needs to recover from that Ole Miss whooping last week, don't sleep on the bye:

Thats my pics in bold print. Now do yours and we will see who gets the bragging rights for Week 4. As always....good fortune to ya!!! Game comments with your pics are welcome and highly encouraged. Right Wahoo? And lets have some fun with this, this year. Now go for it.

**Please remember to pic the Tiebreaker score.

All hail U of L! Go Cards!

It’s GameDay time to get up. Traveling to the game will be interesting to say the least. Churchill Downs is running and Bourbon and Beyond
Is happing. Lots of folks on the road.
Make sure you take plenty of time to get there.

Miss your pics and poetic commentary in the ACC PIC UM. You still have some time to do it. Lets go sir.

Stanford was supposed to be the bottom of the barrel in the acc. I'm calling a curb stomp on Tech tomorrow. We are favored by 10. I think it will be a blow out. Tech hasn't shown me a defense based on who they have played to make me think it will be close. They gave up 21 to fsu, who only managed 25 in their last two games combined. I believe GT is a paper tiger and the game will get out of hand in a hurry.

Will make for a very low attendance again this Saturday. Maybe a little better than Jax St, maybe not. Louisville can’t manage anything, won’t be enough parking for a filled up L&N imo.

-Georgia Tech ( 3-1 ) with its only loss @ Syracuse by 3.
-Ga Tech QB Haynes King is a 4 star transfer from Texas A&M
-QB Haynes Kings 2024 stats.
962 passing yards 6 TD 1 INT,
25 carries 158 yards rushing 3 TD

Anyone have any clue when we’ll get a full schedule? It’s got to be soon

What do they say about the definition of insanity?

Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome

It's unfathomable to me how FSU is favored against California this Saturday. FSU was favored in each of their three losses, two at home, and they're still three point favorites against a Cal team who last week won at Auburn.

How does that make any sense? Everyone who watches and pays attention to college football can clearly see how bad the Seminoles are, especially odds makers. So what's up?

I have my theory but it may be more of a broken record to those who frequent this board. UofL would be a touchdown dog if this happened to them.

Ranked 10th in the pre-season. Picked 1st in the ACC conference. No major injuries at key positions. Most programs would not still be getting the benefit of the doubt.

Funny thing is, I believe FSU will probably win this game. They just shouldn't be favored to do so.

First, I want to say that I'm not truly concerned about CPKs recruiting at this point. Just wanted to get some discussion going. I think his first class is very good with a lot of talent and that the staff works very hard.

Second we know he likes to hit the transfer portal and get some experienced players.

That said, the staff has sent out a lot of offers to the 2025 class but has yet to land one. They have been in final top 5s or top 3s but haven't been THE pick yet.

Your thoughts?

Will decide on Saturday. Coming off of a visit to Louisville.

Top-50 player. Rivals profile won’t load.

The betting line has Deon Sanders as the top choice to replace Mike Norvel at FSU. His 1st 2 seasons he was 1-11 and 4-8 and currently is 2-1. Talk about taking a risk one that might send them further down the rabbit hole.

Great to hear he’s back practicing and hopeful to join by the Notre Dame game. I think if he’s back by SMU that would be awesome. Brohm also mentioned some guys are dinged up. Any insight to who he might be talking about? The only name that comes to mind is Don Chaney with the ankle sprain. @Ty Spalding

I missed the first 2 sets because I was traveling and we won both of those. I started watching the 3rd set and we lost. I didn’t watch the 4th set and we won. Thankfully I recorded and now I can watch it without stress, by the way we won 3-1.

Just got that ass SPANKED! I wonder if they called USC daddy while they were taking the Gamecock.

Does anyone watch volleyball? Big match with the Cards up 2-1 on the big network. Go Cards!
