The National Media = idiots. Just ignore them. Clemson plays a lot better as underdogs that's for sure. I think it fits Dabo better. I'm going with Clemson even though they haven't impressed me so far this season. I think Clemson miss Chad Morris a lot and they have lost a lot of lineman on both sides of the ball. Bad combo. But I think they win in a close, ugly game.
Notre Dame has lost way too many players. The team is a shell of what they were before the start of the season. Plus I hate Notre Dame with a deep, profound enmity.

I didn't watch the game, but is losing at Cincinnati really that embarrassing?
Oh, not at all. I really wouldn't mind Cincinnati joining the ACC. Add WVA too. It would make for a nice VT/Pitt/Cincy/WVA/somtimes ND regional rivalry. Also, they also seem to kinda care about football, and would add another excellent bball program to the club.
I guess I was thinking more along the lines that Miami was 3-0, and supposed to be kind of sort of somewhat "back" this year. That, and the ACC in general has not done much to help it's image so far this season.
Do you mean West Virginia when you say WVA? If so, yes, I'd totally love to see them and Cincy in the ACC. Them being in the Big 12 makes zero sense whatsoever.

Yep, and agree.
I think West Virginia should absolutely be in the ACC. So should Maryland. There could be a nice regional rivalry going with: UVA, VA Tech, Pitt, Maryland, WVA, and Louisville. I wouldn't mind having Cincinnati in that mix either.
man Clemson got lucky. That should have been a blow out. Not sure what the play calling approach was in the 2nd half but it was pure shit. Hate seeing those running plays for Watson as well. That dude is amazing and is too good of a passer to run and is way to fragile to take hits. Clemson just needs to let that guy pass the ball.
