Friday Quarterback

Last Week: 3-2
Overall: 42-16
Forget small talk, let's do this.

Middle Tennessee at N.C. State
State's loss to BC is a big one. They have a relatively easy win coming up, but they have to beat Maryland next week to become bowl eligible. That in mind, they will come out determined and stomp into the poor Middle Tennessee team.
PREDICTION: MT 12 NCSU 28

Duke at North Carolina
I guess we need to start taking UNC legitimately. At 4-5 they are in the same boat as the Wolfpack, but in fact even worse. Duke is a pesky rival but they then would have to beat the #6 Hokies to become bowl bound. Duke has talent but no depth or experience, they will lose...but UNC is hoping they haven't lost their season just yet.
PREDICTION: Duke 14 UNC 35

#23 Boston College at Maryland
The Eagles are loving it in the ACC. Maryland can play spoilers since they are only a half a game behind the Eagles for second in the ACC Atlantic Division. BC has proven to be tough, they worked out a big win against Clemson on the road, but faltered against UNC. I think Maryland will prove that it likes to be intimidating at home.
PREDICTION: BC 20 MD 24

Clemson at #19 South Carolina
The last time this rivalry game got so much press was...well very long ago. Spurrier has the Gamecocks on a big winning streak and the Tigers just nailed FSU. This one could and will get ugly (especially after last year's brawl). I suspect that Clemson is tough but...
PREDICTION: CU 24 USC 27

Georgia Tech at #3 Miami
Just because the Yellow Jackets lost last week does not mean they can't play spoilers. GT has ruined seasons before and could do it...if they were at home. A freshman QB for Miami will not be enough to slow down the Canes, determined to reach Jacksonville in a few weeks.
PREDICTION: GT 17 Miami 27

#6 Virginia Tech at Virginia
Well here we go. FSU was big, this is HUGE. The atmosphere in Charlottesville is red hot and yet...VT is still really REALLY good. With the bye week they are ready to avenge a crippling loss to Miami. Can UVA really pull off the upset? You know I gotta think they can.
PREDICTION: VT 27 UVA 28
