Early JMU Joke Is on ACC's Top Team
You had to see this coming...
Q: How many batteries does it take to light up Virginia Tech's Lane Stadium?
A: 1-AA
And just like that, we are at Week 3 and ACC football is in the crapper. The conference started off with five teams in the AP Top 25 Preseason poll—Virginia Tech, Miami, Georgia Tech, North Carolina and Florida State—and now only Miami, who lost to No. 2 Ohio State, remains.
Nice, ACC, NICE!
That said, don’t lower the life rafts just yet.
The Hokies are, of course, the big shock at 0-2. To see what folks are saying courtesy of Gobbler Country, click here. It’s not like James Madison University is a chump FBS team—they were ranked No. 11 coming in to Lane Stadium and third posting the upset—but they are an FCS team just the same.
Miami, Florida State, and Georgia Tech are all 1-1 and save for the Yellow Jackets losing to Kansas, nobody should be surprised by those records. Miami and Florida State both had tough road games, and both could end up being top teams before the season is over.
Virginia put forth a credible effort out in Los Angeles, but USC isn’t what it once was. The Pac-10 has since suspended the officials who blew a call on a successful Wahoo fake punt.
The Tar Heels are 0-1 after a heart-wrenching loss to LSU, and they did manage not to lose last weekend. OK, they had a bye and now they have Georgia Tech this weekend.
All the while this was happening, N.C. State, Clemson, and BC also got votes or the AP Top 25 poll, so right now the league may not be making national headlines (at least good ones), but the in-conference matchups continue to look like they may well be entertaining games.
