WAHOO NATION PRESENTS: Ben G's Random Rants

Pick'em Again

So good week last week, let's see if I can keep things up.
LAST WEEK: 7-2
OVERALL: 7-2

UVA vs. GT
Oh how ugly this will be. All I have to say is...Calvin Johnson. His height and leap are too much. Add to it that Jameel Sewell is starting his first game ever and things get even sadder. Virginia better get ready for the ACC cellar.

PREDICTION: GT 35 UVA 3

UNC v. Clemson
The Tigers may not be all that they're billed up to be but...they're still better than UNC. Death Valley is intimidating for any time, especially one that could barely beat Furman, a Divison I-AA school. Clemson should roll along.

PREDICTION: Clemson 41 UNC 10

Cincinnati vs. Virginia Tech
Oh Hokies, one day you will challenge yourselves...but not anytime soon. The Bearcats will be just another victim as the Hokies gain more and more confidence for their GT match up. Sorry to say it, but that game will determine the Coastal Winner.

PREDICTION: VT 42 Cinn 9

Rice vs. FSU
The ACC never fails to give me guaranteed wins. FSU struggled against Troy, lost to Clemson, but I think the buck stops here with Rice. They still can win their division people, so let's not write them off just yet.

PREDICTION: FSU 35 Rice 7

Wake Forest vs. Mississippi
Oh how the Rebels must miss the days of Eli. The SEC school has fallen to the depths of their conference, a place Wake Forest knows well. Still the Demon Deacons are always talented but a bit unlucky. Maybe with the ACC down, this is their year to get some quality wins...like here.

PREDICTION: WF 21 Ole Miss 17

Florida International v. Maryland
Of all the terrible ACC out of conference schedules, Maryland has the worst. William and Mary, Middle Tennessee State and now this! Ok so you played West Virginia but that's a rivalry game you're almost required by law to play. The Fridge wants his bowl game clearly and with a win like this, he might have the record...just not the stats.

PREDICTION: MD 45 FIU 13

Boston College vs. NC State
So the Wolfpack are on the ropes, and I'm supposed to believe it's time for some last ditch stand against a much better BC. Not so fast my friend, as Lee Corso would say. BC is your Atlantic Division winner and they will not be intimidated by anyone, especially a team as mediocre as the Wolfpack.

PREDICTION: BC 21 NCSU 10
