Thats really sad. But the ACC doesnt offer a bunch of opponents that Stanford fans get excited to watch Stanford compete against. But still, that attendance is just really sad.

For some reason, Cal fans show up so far. Not sure why.

I'm guessing Satterfield's price just went up...

I get a sense that they would let him go on the cheap. He’s doing fine but is struggling with the low NIL budget of the Bearcats.

Fran Brown? LOl, Please take him.

Dear Syracuse, I thought the Hokies placekicker was unreliable, but your man has missed FIVE extra points this season? Wow!

A good day for the Hokies.

VT finally beat Clemson.

Kelsey Riggs Cuff, an ACCN anchor, is in all maroon for tonight’s show.

I like that

I thought Fran Brown is a good coach. Does Cuse have a big NIL money?

Fran Brown? LOl, Please take him.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. FRAN made some good decisions in this game and I'm very happy for the win. But he has been a bad game day coach this year with boneheaded calls and terrible clock management and the team has been very undisciplined. I was still behind him until he cursed at a ref and got a 15 yard penalty that kept a Pitt drive going. I will give him a break for the great game he called tonight.

Well the race to Charlotte is down to three so not much chaos there. Miami has NC, ND, Duke, VT & BC left. WF has Virginia, Merrimack, SMU, GT & Duke left. SMU has Syracuse, VT, WF, ND & Stanford. Sure, Wake & SMU could decide it between themselves but that would be way too boring for the ACC! We need a 3+ team tie for second, that’s the ACC way.

My Top 10
1 Miami 7-0 (5-0) - W Pitt
2 Wake Forest 6-1 (4-1) - Bye week
3 SMU 6-1 (4-1) - W Cal (WF 4-0 away)
4 Virginia Tech 6-2 (3-2) Up4 W @Clemson
5 Duke 5-2 (2-2) Up1 W @Virginia
6 Louisville 4-3 (2-2) Up4 Bye week
7 Clemson 4-3 (2-2) Down2 L VT
8 North Carolina 4-3 (2-2) Down4 L Syr
9 Boston College 4-3 (2-2) UR W @GT
10A Pitt 5-3 (2-3) Down3 L @Miami
10B Virginia 4-4 (2-3) Down1 L Duke

Week 9 Games:
23 SMU @ Syracuse Noon ESPN2

A lot were lost during the Tennessee game. Abusing AI for this one:

Jordan Walker (DE)
Jaylen Mbakwe (CB)
Kyle Efford (LB, captain): he did play against Duke but medically retired after.

The other injuries on the list, which there are 11 defensive players, are listed as "undisclosed" on the details, so can't say for sure.

It's pretty bad, but still shouldn't be giving up 49 to Boston College at home on homecoming bad. BC hadn't scored 30 in a game all year.

Pitt will have a field day if they can find a running play or two that works.

Let that be a lesson on over scheduling.

BC had listed 10 players out for the GT game, including their top running back (injured last game and out for the year) and their top tight end (out for the year). They were dealing with injuries as well.

In my view, the advent of rev share and NIL has, in some ways, leveled the playing field a bit. Even elite programs are not going to be able to spend big $$'s for guys to sit on the bench. If someone is a talented player sitting behind an even more talented player, why wouldn't they go to another program where they can presumably earn more $$'s for playing? Consequently, I think even elite programs will have depth issues. I believe the measure of success for any team in any given year will depend on staying as healthy as possible and managing depth issues better than the competition.

One other thing, BC fielded a mostly new team this year and many of the players lacked game experience. As the season has gone on, they are getting that experience and the results are starting to show. I realize they often get a level of benign disrespect among some here (some of it deserved, IMO, for their season last year), but they are not a bad team this year.

Cal's a public school. Stanford's a private school. More students, more fans. Tuition's cheaper so students can more easily afford tickets.

Anybody got some defensive tackles? Maybe just really really big guys?

Could you convert that list into pounds, please? I'd like to know how much "beef" you guys lost!

Around 3000 ibs just in linemen.
