BE - ACC challenge starts this week!

[SAMCRO]

This Saturday is the first 2 out of 7 total BE v. ACC match ups (not counting SyraPitt's or NNBE games in this). Maryland @ Temple and NCSU @ UConn. The BE is home for both games and favored in 1. At the very least the league needs to go 1-1, but 2-0 sends a nice early message.

Week of 9/15:
UConn @ Maryland and UNC @ Louisville. Odds are BE is favored in both games. Must go 2-0 here.

Week of 9/29:
Cinci @ VT and FSU @ USF. BE will be underdogs in both. Splitting this v. the top 2 ACC teams would be a big get.

Week of 11/17:
USF @ Miami. It's a long ways off, so who knows how either team will be doing by then (will SUF be in there traditional November flop, or can they hold their together this year?

From these 7 games I am predicting a 4-3 BE edge. It would be great to hear ESPiN rationalize a 5-2 or better BE advantage (wonder if they'd even mention it).

if Louisville is supposed to be the best team in the BE they absolutely have to beat UNC. Cinci@Vtech will be really tough but would probably help us the most in terms of perception. our bottom half to mid grade teams always compare very favorably to theirs, but all the people on TV want to talk about is the quality at the top of the conference. is FSU really playing @USF?

Other than FSU and potentially Miami, IMO, it could be a bit of a down year for the ACC... It's a good time for us to put up.. Us (UCONN), Cincy, Temple, USF, Louisville... We can make a huge statement to all the naysayers.. We're good enough IMO....

If Pitt loses again it just proves how weak the BE is. lol

I actually had that game listed initially but decided to delete it b/c I was too lazy to then enter every SyraPitt BE match up for the season. Memphis also plays at Duke somehwere along the line too.
