Fantastic - Boston College knocks off VaTech, really making it a serious up-hill climb to win the coastal division. The bottom line looks like this:
1. The Clemson game doesn't matter that much. We can lose that game and still win the division, however.................
2. The Miami game means everything! That's the division right there. Unless someone like VaTech can knock off the Canes, we're going to have create our own destiny. Nice to have that option.

Now, Clemson is a winnable game. They are playing better than anyone in the ACC right now, but they are beatable.
On their smashing of Temple tonight:
Davis, Proctor and most of the starters sat out the second half, when fourth-string running back Chris Chancellor rushed for 114 yards and a TD as the Tigers set a school record by scoring over 50 points for the fourth time this season. But the opponents; North Carolina (99), Florida Atlantic (108), Temple (114) and Louisiana Tech (118), rank among the worst defenses of the 119 schools in Division I-A.
Will the cupcake schedule come back to bite them. Stay tuned................
