Presto's Picks-- Thankful?... are you serious?

Thanksgiving traditionally marks the end of college football's regular season, and it can't come soon enough for the area's ACC schools...


MARYLAND at Florida State-- Jamarr Robinson starts again at quarterback for coach Ralph Friedgen-- providing a little more of a running option. Okay, how about a lot of running options? The sophomore gained more yards rushing (129) than passing (104)-- shades of Bobby Douglass! These aren't your father's Seminoles... not even your big brother's FSU. Still, coach Bobby Bowden's bunch own Maryland when the two teams tangle in Tallahassee. Terrapins tumble, 34-12.

VIRGINIA TECH vs North Carolina State-- Hokies continue their mop-up month with a date against the lone team to beat nationally ranked Pitt this fall; NC State can move the ball very well... but the Hokies are the league's best at closing out in closing month. VT's victorious, 37-26.


VIRGINIA at Clemson-- finally a game that has a bearing in the ACC Championship... the Tigers have a chance to win the Atlantic Division...and look to send CJ Spiller out in style. Cavaliers come up short, 31-7.

Last Week: 7-0.

Overall: 51-19.
