I'm 19-2 in picking winners after 9/26/92 games. Remind me to pick
Clemson on October 10. :-) (Guess where my two errors were) 

10/3/92 Games and Predictions
-----------------------------

TENNESSEE-CHATTANOOGA AT CLEMSON: Clemson has lost back to back games
for the first time in several years, already making this a terrible
year by their standards. The Tigers need an easy game to work out the
problems with their offense and get ready for a tough game next week
in Charlottevsille. Clemson 36 UT-Chattanooga 10

FLORIDA STATE AT MIAMI: The outcome of this game will have a significant
impact on the MNC race. Both defenses are outstanding, but right now, I'd
give Florida State the edge on offense. Miami has almost no running
game and a weak offensive line. Charlie Ward is continuing to improve
at quarterback. This one should be close all the way, but I pick the
Seminoles to pull it out. Florida State 22 Miami 20

NORTH CAROLINA STATE AT GEORGIA TECH: Georgia Tech was much improved 
against Clemson, especially on defense. They may be able to stop the
Pack offense, which has sputtered at times this year. Terry Jordan did
look good in last week's win over Carolina and NC State's defense is always
tough. However, if Georgia Tech can duplicate their play against Clemson,
they can certainly keep things close until the fourth quarter and give
Scott Sisson a chance to kick a game winning field goal.
Georgia Tech 20 NC State 19

PITTSBURGH AT MARYLAND: Maryland again generated over 500 yards of
offense against Penn State and got hammered. Maryland is hungry for their
first win of the season and at home against Pitt, Kaleo should be able
to keep Maryland on top. The Terps get their first win of the year.
Maryland 31 Pittsburgh 27

NAVY AT NORTH CAROLINA: The worst team in Division I-A visits Chapel Hill
this weekend. The Midshipman haven't scored a point since opening
day and are down to their third string quarterback. Even if the Tar Heels
have a horrible day, there's no way they can lose. 
North Carolina 30 Navy 0

VIRGINIA AT WAKE FOREST: George Welsh said last weekend he thinks Wake
Forest can beat the Cavaliers. I don't share his outlook. The Virginia
offense is just too much for the Wake defense. The only thing that could
keep the 'Hoos under 40 is to be caught looking ahead to Clemson.
Virginia 48 Wake Forest 10
