Did that just happen?!

BC upset by NC State.

That’s right boys and girls, the supposed bottom dwellers known as the eagles came into Raleigh for what most people thought to be an automatic win. The pack fought back like a cornered wolverine and won in Clemson vs. FSU heroics on an 8 second left in the game pass to the endzone. NC State kept Matt Ryans numbers low and one pass over 50%. I am not sure what to think of the Pack now, but obviously no one can take them lightly.

All I do know for sure is that is one loss for BC, one loss closer to Clemson getting to the ACCCG. Now someone go tell FSU that BC is one loss away from getting them into the runnings again and I think the end of the season will get very intense in the division.

Oh yeah…..with BC’s loss and Wake’s 4th win, Wake now leads the Atlantic division.  FSU, BC and Clemson tie on 2nd place after the Deacs.  Can….you….believe…..that!!

Those will (in all likelihood) be your 8 ACC Tournament teams. It looks like it will be a close proxy for the national championship.

The first game of the tourney is May 24th, with play the championship game to be played on the 28th. Who’s going to buy me a plane ticket to Jacksonville?
