Are you reading these? Busted. You should be in the chat! ...
  • Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen said his team isn't very lucky this year. Bad luck is when the person who takes your seat at the slot machine in AC right after you hits the jackpot. It takes more than bad luck, though, to lose eight games.
  • Wake Forest will be home for the holidays for the first time since it raised the standard by going to the Orange Bowl in 2006. It was tough news for quarterback Riley Skinner to swallow.
  • It's quite fitting that once "coach Dabo Swinney becomes over the hill, Clemson should get over the hump." Clemson beat writer Paul Strelow writes that age is just a number with Clemson's new coaches.
  • Florida State's newfound hopes at a bowl won't determine whether or not Bobby Bowden will come back in 2010 -- he says he will (again).
  • Virginia quarterback Jameel Sewell apologized after he "lost it" on a fourth-and-1 call that was determined to be short on the Cavaliers' final offensive play.
  • Why wait two weeks to make a predicition on Georgia Tech/Georgia? The Jackets have this one in the bag, right? If so, is it time to sweeten the deal again for Paul Johnson? Tony Barnhart says yes.
  • Is BC's best bet the Emerald Bowl, even with a nine-win season?
  • Regardless of which bowl UNC winds up in, it's certainly a better scenario than the one they had a few weeks ago.
  • Despite Duke's loss to Georgia Tech (no shame in that, by the way), the Blue Devils have still made progress.
  • Virginia Tech won, but did it mean anything?
  • Despite the mounting turnovers, Miami coach Randy Shannon said he still has confidence in quarterback Jacory Harris. (Realistically, though, what else could he say?)
