Every day or...whenever I get around to it, I'll be posting a conference preview of each D-1A (er, D-1 Bowl Subdivision) conferece. Here is the first preview, of the ACC.

Florida State still has the talent. Now they have the coaches. Folks are pretty excited down in Tallahassee.

I hope they are ready for another smackdown in The Swamp.

It wasn’t a Miracle Pass. That brain cramp O’Brien sat on the ball after intercepting the ball on the NC State 30 yd line with over three minutes to go. That will not be the case should BC be in the same situation at home this year with Coach Jag. Several other games, including two against Pitt ended similarly costing BC millions. What a welcome O’Brien is going to get. He might as well wear a Yankees uniform.

"I hope they are ready for another smackdown in The Swamp."

I believe those have been few and far between in the last 15 years. It's hard to be sanguine when the UF NC team squeaked by a 6-6 Nole team, and then lost tons of starters.

I know the Huskers are Cautiously Optimistic about the game...We look to travel well as usual and plan to paint the town RED so to speak!

Pre-season is always the best for me, since I'm a grad of Vanderbilt and UNC. Reality generally sets in by October, at the latest.

But as of now, both of my teams are undefeated!

Yes, it’s true we did squeak by a lot of teams last year.

Except against the one team everybody thought was the best team in the country. :)

But seriously, y’alls running game was atrocious last year. But I think FSU should win the ACC this year. (Anyone but Miami)

Not with Butch Davis as coach.

The big ACC question is will Duke win a game?

Has Duke won a game since Spurrier coached there?

Oh, how the mighty have fallen...seems like they've never really recovered from losing the title to Ohio State in '02.

Oh, and of course I would post a pic that forbids remote linking. Hate it when that happens...although I like this one anyway.

Oooooohhhhh Ahhhhhhh.....:)

ESPN asked Michael Vick how he thought Tech would do and he said they’re in for a real dogfight.
