Week 4 Recap

It was a pretty good weekend for the ACC. Wake Forest had a big road win over Gonzaga, and NC State had a great second half to blow past Marquette on the road. The first conference game was a dogfight, with BC beating Miami by 1 point. That loss by Miami means that there are no undefeated teams left in the conference. While this may be disappointing, there also are no teams with a losing record.

The most surprising thing to me has been the performance of some of the teams predicted in the bottom half of the league. Miami is 8-1, NC State is 6-1, Boston College is 6-2, and Virginia Tech is 6-1.

This is the point of the year when a lot of schools go into exam mode and the games become much less frequent. Don't expect to see all that many marquee matchups in the next couple weeks. In fact, there are only 3 games during the week that ACC teams are playing in. Here are the highlights of the next 7 days:

Monday:
Virginia at Auburn - Cavaliers have been a disappointing 4-3 and need a good solid win. This game should be a toss-up.

Saturday:
Virginia Tech at Penn State - Hokies had a good week with wins over BCS teams Iowa and Georgia. A win at Penn State would be a big step in the right direction.

And that's pretty much it. If ACC teams lose any of the other games on the schedule this week, it would be a big upset.
