Teams I'm rooting for this weekend

As a follow up from last week, here are the games I will keep an eye on and their potential impact on BC.

Georgia Tech vs Maryland. A Georgia Tech win helps our resume and hurts a division foe.

NC State vs Florida State. Once again I am putting aside logic and rooting against TOB. But if he pulls off a stunner, it would help our ACC Atlantic standings.

Clemson vs Virginia Tech. Go Hokies. A Clemson loss would put them in a deep hole against us in the division.

Virginia vs Middle Tennessee State. Outside of the ACC pride aspect this game means very little to BC, so let's hope Virginia gets the win.

Wake Forest vs Duke. Another ACC loss would put Wake Forest in our rearview mirror. Go Dukies.

Miami vs North Carolina. I want the Heels to win. The game has no real implications on BC, but a big win for Butch Davis would make things a little more uncomfortable for TOB.

No way. You've got to root for Miami over North Carolina. We need the strong teams in the ACC to keep winning if we want to gain any respect among the SECs and PAC-10s out there. Miami is knocking on the door of the top 25, and we need them to keep winning. Plus, we play them later in the season, so the more they win, the better our strength of schedule. Both teams are out of our division, so we need to think about SOS and power of the ACC, even if a North Carolina win would put the pressure on TOB.

You left out #5 Wisc at Illinois... and Illinois is winning right now.

Of course BG just cut the lead to 14-10....
