Live from the Joel
I'm not making a prediction about tonight's game. No, I'm not getting gun-shy after blowing my two previous prognostications. I just spent a little bit of time recently thinking about what's happened in the ACC over the last few weeks.
Duke blew out Virginia Tech. The Hokies, of course, had just won at Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech, you may remember, beat Wake Forest. Wake, as we all know, beat UNC. UNC beat the stuffing out of Maryland. The Terps went into Cameron and beat Duke. They then beat Georgia Tech. But then, just when things were starting to make sense, Maryland got handled easily by Clemson. The Tigers had been beaten just before by N.C. State, which had lost at home to Florida State, which had lost at home to the Tigers but had also beaten Wake Forest.
See what I'm saying? You want me to make any sense out of this? Good luck.

Jim Young's intricate ladder diagram of ACC play this year reminds me of an article in The Charlotte Observer during the early 60's.(Back when the "O" still wrote original articles about Davidson). Using a Davidson beat # who beat # scenario, they concluded that the wildcats were better that Minnesota-- then ranked #1 in the nation in football. Wildcat

Wow, Minnesota was once #1 in the country? Who was on that team? Alan Page, Jim Marshall, Paul Krause? Wait, that's the other Minnesota football team.
