Around the ACC

• Al Groh is in serious trouble as Virginia Coach following a difficult loss to Wyoming.
• Another embarrassing loss for the conference was suffered at the hands of George O'Leary's Central Florida Knights. Tom O'Brien, one of the best coaches anywhere probably didn't realize the NC State team he inherited is this poor.
  
• The conference did have a notable non league win with Georgia Tech's convincing (and may I add satisfying for an Irish hater like me) victory in South Bend. Tashard Choice had a great day just plowing up the middle and between the tackles for Tech.
  
• Virginia Tech perhaps suffering from high expectations or all the emotion related to the mass killing in Blacksburg in April looked lethargic in a 17-7 win over East Carolina.
  
• Boston College's defense picked off three Riley Skinner passes in an impressive 38-28 win over Wake Forest. This puts Wake behind the eight ball in its quest to repeat as ACC Champions.
  
• Matt Ryan is the early front runner for ACC player of the year with the great effort versus Wake.
• Florida State vs Clemson Monday Night. What a great matchup to showcase how good this league really is in front of the nation.
