ACC Football Predictions for December 1, 2012
The Confidential’s football predictions for this week’s games featuring ACC teams. Anyway, last week the Confidential went 8-2, improvidently trusting Clemson and Florida State, improving the overall record to a respectable 86-32. Pretty interesting game tonight, as the ACC’s Louisville battles the Big Ten’s Rutgers in a battle for the Big East Championship. On to the week 14 predictions:
Pittsburgh (5-6) @ South Florida (3-9), 7:00 p.m. The Panthers are desperate for a win to get bowl eligible. The Bulls are over-matched, but playing on Senior Night for an embattled head coach. This probably should go one of two ways, with the emotion for South Florida either being very high or very low. So the Confidential with out-think itself by predicting the emotion to be merely medium. If so, Pitt wins. Prediction: Pittsburgh 31, South Florida 13.
ACC Championship Game
#13 Florida State (10-2) v Georgia Tech (6-6), 8:00 p.m. The ACC having a 7-6 Georgia Tech in the BCS is only good to the extent that it means a bigger payout. In all other respects, it would be an embarrassment. Of course, if Georgia Tech loses, they would seek a waiver to play in a bowl game, despite being 6-7. In the end, they could end up 6-8. And that’s your ACC Championship Game entrant for the Coastal Division everyone! Florida State, however, lost disappointingly to Florida. A few coaches are either leaving or interviewing for head coach positions elsewhere. Promotions are nice, but distracting. Closer than expected here. Prediction: Florida State 35, Georgia Tech 24.
The Confidential apologizes in advance for not picking your team. A lot of close games here. Feel free to share why we are wrong.
