CLEMSON, GEORGIA TECH battle for ACC TITLE

Regul8er · 11-30-09, 10:58 AM

Tough one to read. Both teams completely overlooked there Rivalry games this past weekend, and both got embarassed.
I wonder how their confidence is doing right now?

Deuce · 11-30-09, 10:58 AM

G Tech, G Tech covers.

patswin · 11-30-09, 11:08 AM

Tech got pretty banged up in their game against GA Saturday.
I think Spiller could have a field day against this defense if they can't stop the run
Over worth a look if reasonable

pavyracer · 11-30-09, 11:22 AM

Fishhead the line is pk. Whoever wins covers.

HittingGuru · 11-30-09, 03:52 PM

I love GA TECH -1 point!!! Gonna be my big play this weekend (probably will put my money where my mouth - $550 to win $500).

SBR_John · 11-30-09, 04:55 PM

Ga Tech really screwed me last week. Watching them against Georgia I cant help but think they are a total fake. Their defense is terrible. I'm going to be on Clemson.

God I hate Georgia, but that's pretty funny.

I wouldn't entirely base your assessment of Tech's defense on the UGA game. We were terrible in that game, but if there's one thing Tech's defense has consistently been this year, it's inconsistent.

In the five game below, look at the discrepancy in the distribution of the points allowed over the course of the game. For whatever reason, our defense has frequently flipped itself 'on' or 'off' for no apparent reason. What team shows up on Saturday is anyone's guess.

Clemson: 7 pts 1H; 20 pts 2H
VT: 3 pts 1H; 20 pts 2H
@ Vandy: 28 pts 1H; 3 pts 2H
Wake: 17 pts 1H; 7 pts 2H; 3 pts OT
@ Duke: 10 pts in Q1; 0 the remainder

HoulihansTX · 11-30-09, 05:31 PM

Take the OVER, and screw who wins. They both are not ready for true D's if they see some in the bowls.

Who cares???

Georgia Tech lost to 6-5 (now 7-5) Georgia on Saturday

Clemson lost to 6-5 (now 7-5) South Carolina on Saturday

So, what do we give the ACC Champion???

4th place in the SEC East???

Take GT. The triple option will destroy Clemson.

Jackets_Fan · 11-30-09, 06:22 PM

The old transitive property.

Let us also recall that Wake Forest beat Stanford, who beat Oregon and USC, who beat Ohio State and UCLA, who beat Tennessee.

Does that mean Wake Forest should win the Pac 10, Big 10, and finish 2nd in the SEC East?

Georgia Tech lost me 5 units last week, my largest play in over a month.

For some reason it does not bother me. I am going to play them again. 2 units.

rm18 · 12-01-09, 01:10 AM

Clemson will win by 31 they have Tech figured out.

The Seer · 12-01-09, 02:22 AM

this is going to be one of my biggest plays of the weekend. I will do a write up Sat.

tripp · 12-01-09, 05:08 AM

Clemson wins

Gemoka · 12-01-09, 06:19 AM

I love Clemson

Fishhead · 12-01-09, 09:03 AM

I may actually attend this fiasco..........

mmike032 · 12-01-09, 09:28 AM

the game has been cancelled...
UGA/SC will now play for the ACC Championship

I can't take Dabo over the underrated Paul Johnson..coaching mis match

BigdaddyQH · 12-01-09, 10:41 AM

For a bunch of alleged experts, it is funny that no one in here has mentioned their first meeting of the year, in Atlanta. Yes, they have already played. Ga. Tech ran Clemson into the ground in the first quarter and a half, and took a commanding 24-0 lead. Then Clemson caught fire and ran off 27 straight points and took a 27-24 lead midway into the 4th quarter. But Clemson's offense ran out of gas, and Tech was able to stagger down the field twice for FG's and won 30-27. As you may guess, the total is well around 56-57. The game is a pick.

Both teams stunk last week, but Tech's loss is the more alarming because it was at home against a team that had an unexpected terrible season. Clemson still has that unexplainable loss to Maryland on it's record. I can't see any type of advantage in this game for either team. It looks like some of you guys are going to win, while others lose. The truth of the matter is that this game is a perfect example of wagering because you have to get action on every televised game. It is an obvious pass.

I thought Clemson did a pretty decent job last time against them. Save for the first drive where they lost contain and Allen went 80+ yards down the sideline. Remember that Georgia Tech had a punt return for a td and a fake field goal that ended up as a touchdown. Thats 11-14 hidden points there.

Mac4Lyfe · 12-01-09, 02:07 PM

The public will be on Tech... That's for sure.

Excellent points. Now I know a lot of football has come and gone since that game, but Tech can not expect another fake FG TD. Punt returns can always happen, and they seem to in the ACC more than in other conferences.

I think that this may be the most entertaining game of all the Conference Championships. Once again I am pulling for Tech, because I will spend another crazy day erasing bowl entries if Clemson wins. Remember, TCU can NOT go to the Orange Bowl to face Clemson because that would be a rematch. So I would have to move TCU to the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl, put Clemson in the Orange Bowl, move someone else to the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl, then probably move Miami out of the Gator Bowl, and it goes from there.

Speaking of the Gator Bowl, Rumor Control has it that they would seriously consider putting a 6-6 Florida State in that game as a farewell gesture to Bobby Bonehead. The fact that they would toss out a 9-3 Miami team that beat Florida State in Tallahassee seems not to be important. How rediculous would that be?

Jackets_Fan · 12-01-09, 05:52 PM

Gator Bowl would be forced to take GT if Tech lost to Clemson in the ACC CG because of Tech's 7-1 conference record. Of course if Tech wins, then who knows.

daneblazer · 12-01-09, 07:10 PM

If GT wins, VT will go t Gator and Clemson will go to Peach

moodyt2 · 12-01-09, 07:52 PM

GT wins this one by 10+.

The Seer · 12-01-09, 07:53 PM

Confirmed: Virginia Tech and Tennessee are in Chick-fil-a Bowl

Joe_Shabadoo · 12-01-09, 09:42 PM

After watching the replay of the matchup earlier in the season I believe Clemson will have Tech's number barring any tricky splash plays off of fake field goals or horrible missed tackles, allowing Roddy Jones (I believe) to go untouched for 80+.....

This line begs one to take GT in my opinion.

My system has Clemson at -2.5.

Hell yeah.

If I lived in the greater Tampa area, I would have went last year as well.

Looking like the Gator Bowl will be FLORIDA STATE - WEST VIRGINIA.

Assuming it falls through, good deal. Two largest fan contingents in each conference.
