My hopes for claiming this competition died pretty emphatically last week, though my 2 - 6 ACC prediction (as well as GregMFisher's) remains alive and well. A pretty miserable week, though the upside is this one has to be better. Next week we will be picking the last week of games AND the ACC championship in the same post, even if we don't know what the ACC title game will be (hint: Florida State will be in it barring a preposterous turn of events)

I apologize for this post being so late; I have been very, very ill. The worst part about this post being so late, of course, is THAT THERE IS A GD THURSDAY GAME AGAIN THIS WEEK. STOP DOING THIS, ACC. There are seven games this week total.

TH-Hers-Day, For the Ladies Night: @UVA over UNC - this game is a total total crapshoot

Normal Time Games:

VT over @ Boston College - I'm pulling for BC, as this would leave VT ineligible for a bowl

Duke over @ Georgia Tech - Duke goes into the last week of the ACC season controlling its own destiny for the ACC title game.

@MIA over South Florida - How does Miami respond to whatever the hell that was?

@ND over Wake Forest - What idiot actually picked BC to win last week? Oh right, me.

@ CLEM over NC State - A wise man once said "Never pick State." Then he did. Then we lost four quarterbacks to season ending injuries.

FSU 55 @ MD 10 - Nobody goes reeling into the offseason like the Maryland Terrapins. Seminoles vs Terrapins coverage; Tomahawk Nation if you are so inclined. Beg for pity.
