ACC Power Poll
Feb 5, 2009
Tags: ACC
1) North Carolina (20-2)-Remember when we were talking about the Tar Heels being the deepest team in the country? Wow, what a difference a few injuries and suspension make.
2) Clemson (19-2)-No longer the “Paper Tigers” after the beat down on Duke. Imagine how good they could be if North Carolina left the ACC.
3) Wake Forest (17-3)-Dino Gaudio is petitioning John Swofford to cancel the Demon Deacons remaining ACC road games.
4) Duke (19-3)-This team isn’t nearly as tough when they play ACC games outside of Cameron Indoor Stadium.
5) Boston College (18-6)-Quietly getting it done just like their Coach Al Skinner has for his entire career.
6) Florida State (17-5)-Another strong recruiting class for Bobby Bowden.
7) Virginia Tech (14-7)-Tough week for Seth Greenberg’s team who dropped two in a row, but on the bright side Bruce Smith is headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
8) Miami (15-7)-‘Canes made the Demon Deacons look like Duke at Clemson.
9) Maryland (14-8)-Best offensive output of the season at UNC. Unfortunately for Gary Williams though it was the Terps worst defensive output of the season too.
10) NC State (12-8)-Ben McCauley angling for an Under Armour commercial with his I must protect this house foul on Mike Copeland in the final two seconds of another blowout loss to the Tar Heels.
11) Georgia Tech (10-11)-Paul Hewitt might not have a great team, but he has a great agent. A $7(M) buyout, way to go!
12) Virginia (7-11)-Al Groh must wake up every day and ask why isn’t there a firedaveleitao.com?

RE: ACC Power Poll
This is my first visit here. Is this supposed to be a poll of teams playing within the league itself? If so, Scott Johnson (whoever he is) is dead wrong in his statement regarding Duke, "This team isn’t nearly as tough when they play ACC games outside of Cameron Indoor Stadium." Duke has played 4 games away from Cameron to date. Did Mr. Johnson watch the FSU or Georgia Tech games? Did he look at the stat lines for these games. I totally agree that Duke was not "tough" for 3/4 of the WFU game & not "tough" (not even present) for the Clemson game. Maybe Mr. Johnson might wait until the end of the season when Duke plays 4/7 ACC games away from Cameron.RE: ACC Power Poll
I am sure Scott Johnson would make it better as a comedian rather than a so called sports writer. Pathetic.- Posted by Beach Music Forever
Somebody's pizzy after getting their tails whooped. You guys love to pass judgment on "class" after a 20-point drubbing, as long as you're not on the receiving end of it.
Spoiled babies like you and Singler deserve it, Beach.
