ACC Rooting Guide: Week 14

The ACC is down to its final week of the regular season.

SMU is waiting for either the Miami Hurricanes or Clemson Tigers to face them for the ACC Championship next Saturday night in Charlotte.

Besides that, there are several conference and non-conference rivalry games on the slate.

Come on Miami! Beat Syracuse! Lets do some rooting.

The Cardinal lost to their arch-rival Cal last weekend.

I guess there wasnt a way for them to play this weekend.

Whatever.

At least Stanford can get a win to close out their first season in the ACC.

I wonder how many Stanford fans will be at Hard Rock for the Miami game next year.

A couple dozen? Maybe.

Lets go San Jose State.

The Yellow Jackets better be ready for all they can handle tomorrow night.

I think Kirby Smart is going to have his Bulldogs ready to go in their pre-SEC Championship Game matchup.

I see Georgia getting a lot of hate compared to other teams.

I think they have a solid resume compared to other CFP hopefuls.

Plus, Im not scared of Carson Beck in the least.

Let them in! Still, it would be hilarious to see yet another SEC team go down.

Lets go Georgia Tech .

Matchup of the Week This is a loser leaves town matchup for this years CFP.

If South Carolina wins, they have another impressive win and can make their case for an at-large bid.

If Clemson wins, they have another impressive win and can make their case for an at-large bid.

These teams are almost mirror images of each other.

For Miamis sake, its an easy choice for me.

Lets go South Carolina.

Dukes three losses are to Georgia Tech, Miami, and SMU.

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

Manny Diazs squad has been solid all-season long.

Wake Forest s offense doesnt deal well with pressure, and applying pressure is exactly what Diaz thrives on as a defensive coach.

I see a 9-3 record with a decent bowl game in their future.

Lets go Duke.

The Cardinals whooped up on Pitt last weekend.

Kentucky has lost five SEC games in a row since theyre upset over Ole Miss .

I think Jeff Brohms squad sends a message to their in-state rival with a beatdown this weekend.

I wonder who will be Louisvilles QB next season? Lets go Louisville.

BC bounced back with a nice win over UNC last weekend.

Bill OBrien has his team humming again, and at the perfect time.

Its always nice to play good in November.

Your team feels good, they practice hard before the bowl game, and they have something to build off of going into the following season.

Meanwhile, I dont like Pitt and want them to lose.

Lets go Boston College.

Could this be a tricky matchup for Rhett Lashlees squad? Maybe, but I dont think so.

Cal can be pesky, but the Mustangs are going to be focused on the task at hand: finishing as the only undefeated team in ACC play.

Beyond that, I would like to see both SMU and Miami make the CFP, assuming the Canes beat Syracuse and get to play the Mustangs in Charlotte next weekend.

Lets go SMU.

Whoever wins this game will feel so much better about themselves heading into next season.

The Wolfpack have a young, dynamic QB who will have an entire offseason to get better.

The Tar Heels overcame a four-game losing streak to right the ship offensively.

I dont really care who wins to be completely honest.

It is frustrating that UNC has had Miamis number the past few seasons.

Update: UNC fired coach Mack Brown, so theyll be looking for a new direction in 2025.

Lets go NC State .

If it were up to Florida State fans (and possibly their coaching staff and some of the players), I think they would love to just end the season and get ready for 2025.

The Gators are playing their best ball right now.

Their young QB DJ Lagway looks like he might just be the best young QB in college football.

I dont think the Seminoles want any part of that.

Lets go Florida.

I mentioned it in my ACC Power Rankings, but the Hokies losing their last game of the season to their rival, while missing out on a bowl game after having legit expectations this season would be the worst way to end the year.

I am here for it and would love to see it.

Lets go Virginia.

See you soon for bowl matchups!.
