You and Clemson keep those pedals down now--all the way though the national title game.

Congratulations!

Louisville, You Scary!

If we can take care of business in Atlanta on Thursday (which we havent done in a loooooooooooooong time), then it should be a top 5 matchup at Death Valley with Game Day there for our matchup. If the polls were truly fair, Louisville should be ranked number 1 after that performance.

As for my thoughts on Clemson's chances, I would say that you should be favored in the game. The way Jackson ran through FL ST was amazing. When I compare their defense with ours, I think Clemson may have a better D-tackle rotation, but that is about it. When at full strength,FSU's D is typically one of the best in the country in terms of flowing to the ball. I can forsee problems with our D overpursuing and leaving open cutback lanes for Jackson.

As it stands, I think Clemson's best chance for a W in that game comes down to if our O can fire on all cylinders, and whether Death Valley can have any impact on Jackson's nerves.

Regardless, I am looking forward to the game.

Congrats on an amazing performance against the number 2 team in the nation. What a way to crash the National stage.

I have been A Louisville football fan since 1971. I believe this is the best football team that we have fielded in the last 45 years .

The ACC has been a two headed monster for awhile now but looks to be sprouting a couple more in Louisville & Miami. FSU & Clemson are the standard bearers for the conference but you now have backup.

I agree. I'm in shock & awe of this team. The OL is protecting Lamarvelous & the DL is controlling the LOS as well. It's a complete team built on many stars.

Don't leave off UNC & Virginia Tech will be back as well.

VT is looking better & better with each game, I can see them being a "monster" soon as well. NC is recruiting really well but I'm not completely sold on them yet but they will be a tough team. The ACC is adding depth at the top. The ACC is growing into a monster.

+1

We are doing okay this year too! And WAKE is 3-0!! Wow, it's almost like the ACC is the best conference in the country?

Guy's This Year is ACC Football! This IS THE Conference to beat. Come January, barring injuries, the ACC Could have 2 of the final four schools remaining.

That actually is looking pretty probable. The B12 is basically out & the PAC doesn't seem to far behind them, Stanford being their best shot. That leaves an open spot. The SEC is down to Bama. The B1G & the ACC have multiple contenders right now. IF Louisville beats Houston the open spot will likely go to the ACC or B1G. Of course we only finished week 3 & anything can happen over the next two months.

If CFP was today:
1) Alabama
2) Ohio State
3) Louisville
4) Clemson/Michigan/Mich St/Houston/Stanford

Ha! Louisville by 50 at halftime (over NCSU). Louisville picking fans out of the stands to play by the 4th quarter.
