What a week for Boston College. In what was being billed as the battle of the top 2 teams in the ACC, Boston College made a clear statement of who was the better team. With a 3-0 conference record, Boston College leads the ACC. And in second place with a 2-0 ACC record...Virginia! Surprised? I am. Chalk it up to ACC matchups involving Duke and North Carolina. This weekend provides a better test when they match up with a Georgia Tech team. And let's not forget the Blue Devils. Duke ended a 22 game losing streak with a win over Northwestern...the team that holds the record for the longest losing streak in college history with 34 games.

After last going of 7 of 10 with last weekends picks (bringing my overall season record to 23 of 30), let's take a look at this week's picks...

TAMU @ Miami = Texas A & M. After struggling to Florida International last week, and being stomped by Oklahoma the previous week, it's clear that Randy Shannon has a ways to go to bring Miami back.

Clemson @ NC State = Clemson

GT @ Virginia = Georgia Tech

North Carolina @ USF = USF. After an off-week last week, South Florida is back on the field after the upset win over Auburn. Watch out Tarheels!

Army @ BC = Boston College

Duke @ Navy = Navy. Though their record is only 1 & 2, Navy only lost their last game by 3 points, and the other loss was to a powerful Rutgers team...and they held their offense to only 41 points.

William & Mary @ VT = VT

Maryland @ WF = Maryland. In what is probably the best of the ACC matchups this week, Maryland looks for revenge over last year's 38-24 WF victory.

I thought I would finally agree with all of your picks until I saw the last one. Give me the same except Ill take Wake over UM

September 17, 2007  12:45 PM ET

what am i behind you by like 3 games for the year?

September 17, 2007  01:17 PM ET

Something like that. I think you picked BC to beat Tech last week though, so you might've gained back to within one game.

no i just checked back and i said my only different one was colorado. i was half kidding, but i really did want to change one so ill take it.

That'll teach you to question my picks! Hahaha!

I've been lucky these past few weeks.

September 17, 2007  01:50 PM ET

I'm with you on all except for Maryland-Wake Forrest. I like the Decons at home. They should have beaten Nebraska. Time for Maryland to come back to reality. Also I hope the Bulls are focused on the Heels and not looking ahead to their meeting with the Mountaineers.
