The Gnomes Schedule has been updated and here are some near season end facts:

The ACC has recorded, according to my photoshop, 74 wins and 58 losses for the season.

If Wake wins this weekend against Maryland the ACCCG will be between two teams that Clemson had defeated in the season; Wake Forest and Georgia Tech. Wake will have one more divisional win than BC (plays Miami) so that would put them into the CG. THAT should piss the seniors off!!

If not for the VT blowout, Clemson would have had another woulda shoulda coulda season with the 1 point losses to BC and Maryland. The total points lost in the season adds to 19 points, and SHOULD STAY AT 19 TOO!!!

This has to be the first time since FSU entered the ACC as well as Miami that both teams have losing conference records. But, ya know the media says the ACC is down so that means everyone else just SUCKS. Thanks media.

Finally, it’s been fun keeping up with the schedule thanks for taking part. Not sure how to get a basketball schedule together as that would be HUGE but if I get enough requests I may be able to get something together. It’s been fun folks, now let’s cheer the Tigers on to one more dominating Senior 4-0 class over the Shamecocks.

Clemson’s athletic dept. may be the dumbest in the land. After back to back poor showings on the field after noon kickoffs, it’s official:

The Clemson vs. South Carolina game will have a noon kick on Saturday, November 25 and will be televised either by ESPN or ESPN2.

Geeze, I don’t want to hear about the fans not liking the evening games or excuses about it being the holidays. Noon games SUCK!!! No one gets into it like an afternoon or evening game and everyone is still waking up by noon. If you want to know what the atmosphere in Death Valley will be like for that game see the Maryland game…..but worse!!

Schedule has been updated. You may now return to your regularly scheduled lives between the Saturdays.

James Davis is now listed as a potential Heisman Candidate. I guess his blowing up of continual top ten rushing defenses has the nation taking notice.

Also, the weekly ACC schedule has been updated over in the sidebar if you are keeping track.

The remaining ACC schedule is about 50% resolved on paper. The following results are this gnomes view on how the games should play out to favor the Tigers chances at the ACCCG and rankings.

Duke v FSU
Since the ‘Noles have dug themselves a hole I will be rooting for them so that our win over them and our division come out looking better. I say that as if there is a chance that the ‘Noles could lose but ya never know, the Tigers lost to the Dukies on their home field once!

Maryland v Virginia
Once again another team that the Tigers will play versus one that they won’t see in the season. And again, the way Virginia has been playing this year, I don’t think that there really is any question that the Terps won’t run away with it. After a close loss to the Jackets, the Terps should be looking to keep their season in tact with a win in UVA. Of course the loss could be demoralizing and have the Terps in a slump. A loss for the Terps would separate them from the top of the division with 2 losses in conference, but I don’t see that happening so if anything as win would strengthen Clemson’s schedule when they play the Terps in the Valley later in the season.

Miami v Fla Intl
Seriously, let’s just get to the remaining good ACC game. There hasn’t been a game besides VT and BC this week that isn’t already decided on paper. Miami needs to get some good press and needs to light up FAI. No Coker hotseat heat here for once.

UNC v South Fla
I would say that this game is an ACC lock but UNC is on a downhill slide this year and USF usually has a good team rolling for them. From my developing stats page USF has #54 overall offense and #28 overall defense. This could be Buntings farewell song and could be a good bottom dweller game to watch a small school get some props by playing and possibly defeating an ACC team.

NC State v Wake Forest
This is the ACC game, besides VT/BC, that Clemson fans will have their eyes on this weekend. After the undefeated streak ending, 4th quarter meltdown against the Tigers, the Deacs head to Raleigh, the giant killing field, to face a hot Wolfpack team. NC State may be on a high after knocking BC and FSU down a notch over the previous weeks and may not see Wake as that much of a threat. I look for Wake to keep their smoke and mirror offense alive and take the pack down for their first ACC loss thus propelling them to the 1 loss familiarity that is the Atlantic division.
