Wake, App, Catawba win again

Not much movement in my Tarheel Top Ten this week. Frankly, I'm finding it difficult to fill out all 10 spots.

Davidson drops out with a bad loss to Morehead State. Winston-Salem State returns with a win over Florida A&M. N.C. State and Duke are both a win away. When do they play each other? Oh, I forgot. They're in the ACC; they don't play each other.

1. Wake Forest, 3-2 (No. 1 last week)
2. Appalachian State, 5-1 (2)
3. Catawba, 6-0 (3)
4. Guilford, 4-1 (4)
5. Elon, 3-2 (5)
6. East Carolina, 3-3 (6)
7. Wingate, 5-1 (7)
8. North Carolina, 2-4 (9)
9. N.C Central, 3-2 (10)
10. Winston-Salem State, 3-3 (not ranked)

Addendum, Big Four standings:

Wake Forest, 1-0
State, 0-0
Carolina, 0-0
Duke, 0-1

Note: Wake extends Big Four win streak to six games; undefeated since loss to Carolina on Nov. 13, 2004

N.C. State and Duke are both a win away. When do they play each other? Oh, I forgot. They're in the ACC; they don't play each other.* Doug

Don't worry Doug! State and Duke will be playing in the first annual losers Bowl at the Durham Bulls baseball park. The name of the bowl will be known as the Nifong Bowl. Winner gets to own Durham City Hall for the next 5 years.

Doug said:

I agree a post-season matchup between Duke and State is a great idea. That way someone gets to finish the season on a high note. For the other, what's another loss?

. For the other, what's another loss?* Doug

In college football when another loss occurs, chances are that it is the final game for the coach.

Coaches are hired to be fired!

Kenny said:

I don't think that applies to Ted Roof.

Doug said:

If the ACC football scheduler isn't fired, Ted Roof shouldn't be, either. How hard is it to figure out that Duke should play State?

I don't think that applies to Ted Roof.* Kenny

Just think! Ted does not have to worry when he submits his resume along with his won and lost record to another college who might be interest in his services. I can see it now!

Stanford University AD! "Hey where is that resume from that coach at Duke! I think he will work out fine for the Women's flag football team."
