This weekend I wanna see (that would benefit us)
- Pitt over VT (both benefits us though as the winner will surely be ranked…right?)
- SMU over BC (more ranked ACC teams the better and idc what you think because it’s true)
- Wake over Stanford (would rather see Wake get on a roll and make Miami’s win look better)
- Iowa over OSU (idk about this but that would put OSU’s playoff hopes on the line a bit more and I’m with it)
- Auburn over Tennessee (double edged sword but I hate the Tennessee hype, ofc then Auburn will be hyped)
- SC over Kentucky (drop another sec team out of the top 25)
- UVA over FSU (because **** FSU)
- West Virginia over ISU (makes UVAs loss to them look a bit better)
- Bama over MSU

I was really impressed. Paige looked frustrated. They were attacking and pressing her as soon as she got the ball.

What matchups are looking good in the next round? Definitely want to follow New York.

Paige got em in Game 1 tho she lost. One thing about Paige is she is always very unselfish and effecient. Arike was ballin so Paige is fine just getting out of the way. Paige usually waits until the 4th quarter before she turns into Paige Buckets. Valks are very good tho, odds are Wings don't have enough tonight.

Dream vs NY is going to be a great series. Dream are probably the hottest team in the W. Angel just got DPOY and they have the top 3 in steals on the team. They just tore up NY back to back last week to get home court. That being said, playoff Stewie is different. Never count out NY as long as they have Stewie.

Golden State vs Dallas game 3 tonight? Does Dallas have enough on the road?

Yea I will be interested in NY vs ATL. Why did New York play so sub-par in the regular season? Will Angel be directly playing against Brianna in the playoffs?
 
SOOOOO these Friday games yall lol

I'm split screening Pitt/VT and PSU/NU tonight.

VT defense vs Pitt QB?
Will Penn State comeback? Did Northwestern fire all their shots at Indiana and now only have blanks against the Nittany Lions?

Pitt QB hasn't thrown a TD pass vs a P4 school this year and the two that denied him are UCF and Syracuse.

I agree, yet the matchup is still worth watching imo.

Also, Narduzzi's plan to contain Reynolds and Overton Jr.

I actually think Syracuse has some NFL potential dudes on their DL. Could be worth watching come transfer portal time.


Oh and some pods have mentioned Franklin and Narduzzi DON'T like each other, curious about that pregame and postgame handshake lol

I'm watching it for sure. My girl wants to see the Enter Sandman entrance.

I don't have much faith in Pitt, though.

I hope Northwestern doesn't fold to PSU

Valks likely take it. Like you said very athletic for the ladies.

Angel plays the 5 this year even tho she is a bit undersized and is a natural 4, so she will guard Jonquel Jones. Angel guards all 5 positions during the game tho. NY has had a lot of injuries and is an older team. Dream are just more athletic.
 
I don’t think they’ll actually do it, because the odds are always against anybody going 10-0; still, if miami handles business like they’re expected to, VT will be favored in virtually all of their matchups before playing us.

@SMU would be a close line & it’s too early to tell who would be the underdog imo. Even then, no chance is saying a lot.

This isn’t a normal first year team at all (idk if those exist anymore after 2024/2025 or so). Their HC is the now the DC, twelve Penn state players transferred in, and the staff overlap is plentiful.

Pitt has the easier schedule and with a win tonight could very well be undefeated before playing Miami. Ranked in the top 20. VT, no chance doing so. I prefer Pitt tonight for this reason only.

We still battling over our offseason debate 😹 time will tell.

I think they had Clemson DOA before the two hour weather delay. Feldman and co @ the athletic had a recent story about how Bill just needs 6 wins to keep his job. So that’s manageable imo.

UNC has one of the toughest schedules tho considering it’s 8 acc games, TCU, ND & UConn.

I see them as having 6 more up for grabs games, @Pitt, @Duke, Syracuse, @UConn, @UVA, and Nc State as the season finale; additionally, three really tuff home
contests in ND, Louisville, and Miami. If they go 0-3 in the latter round, they need to go 4-2 against the rest.

Syracuse, UConn, and Nc State are the three most beatable teams. Syracuse is literally the least disciplined team (most penalty yards per game) in all of college football.

UConn was held to 14 points by Maryland and 21 by Miami OH. Syracuse’s backup looked much better than the starter, so we’ll know more if he actually plays more than Angeli against UConn. Charlotte and ECU played better defense against App State than NC State did.

Duke is very one dimensional. Pitt’s qb is overrated and is primarily a non-conference cupcake merchant up to this point in the season. & I prefer UNC’s dline to UVA’s OL; each team’s biggest strength. Last year, UVA didn’t run the ball well on UNC; vice versa, UNC had more than double the amount of rushing yards in the 17-16 OT loss.

North Carolina os one of the most sound football teams exemplified by being top five in the country for lowest penalties, and penalty yards, per game.

If I had to guess, I’d say they go 7-5 (4-4) or 8-4 (5-3), 8-5::9-4 w/ a bowl win.

Let’s wait until end of season. I appreciate your positive take on UNC. I just don’t see it. And I have gone from being a BB fan to thinking he’s both goofy and slimy. That may have clouded my judgment.
