NC State has second place all but wrapped up after their defeat of Virginia.
Florida State finishes it's ACC schedule undefeated, while Virginia
has it's worst ACC finish since 1986. Wake Forest is still in bowl
contention after defeating Duke.

I was 3-2 again this week to bring my record to 40-13 for the year.

11/7/92 Scores
--------------

CLEMSON 40 NORTH CAROLINA 7: Natrone Means suffered bruise ribs early in
the first quarter and did not play the rest of the game. Clemson 
amassed 491 yards of offense, including 105 yards and 3 TD runs from
Rodney Blunt. Carolina was held to 146 yards and had 3 interceptions and
was sacked 6 times. It was Clemson's largest margin of victory over UNC
and a nationally ranked team. (Predicted: UNC 21-20)

WAKE FOREST 28 DUKE 14: Keith West was 23 of 37 and Todd Dixon caught 
3 TD passes. Bill Dooley is now tied with Frank Howard and 
Danny Ford for all-time victories in the ACC with 96. Duke loses
it's 11th straight ACC game dating back to last year. 
(Predicted: Wake 27-13)

FLORIDA STATE 69 MARYLAND 21: Did I mention that my score prediction
was for the first half only? :-) Florida State did indeed lead 42-7
at the half. Charlie Ward, using the shotgun formation for much of
the game, passed for 394 yards and 4 TDs. He finished with 478 yards
of total offense - 23 shy of a school record. FSU racked up 858 yards
and 40 first downs - both ACC records - and punted only once.
(Predicted: FSU 42-7)

BAYLOR 31 GEORGIA TECH 27: Georgia Tech missed a chance to win the game
when Jeff Papushak fumbled at the Baylor 8 yard line after catching
a pass from Shawn Jones. Baylor recovered and ran out the clock. 
Melvin Bonner caught 2 TD passes in the 2nd half to lead Baylor to
the win. (predicted: GT 24-17)

NC STATE 31 VIRGINIA 7: Virginia was able to complie fairly good stats
in this game (they outgained NC State in yards rushing, passing and
time of possession), but could not get passed the State 30 yard line. 
George Welsh benched Bobby Goodman and put in Mike Groh, who is actually
the third string Quarterback since Symion Willis is injured. NC State
scored on big plays including a blocked punt returned for a touchdown,
a 49 yard run by Anthony Barbour and an interception of Mike Groh 
returned for a touchdown. This is State's first win over Virginia in
seven tries and they have 2nd place in the ACC all but wrapped up.
(Predicted: NCSU, 19-14)
