Last week, the No. 1 game on this list came to fruition, as Virginia rallied to beat Miami 41-40 in Charlottesville. NC State made sure there was no sign of an upset against the Deacs, but the Hokies came very close to knocking off the Noles, as FSU ...

On the surface, NC State has looked like one of the most inexplicable teams in college football this season -- reaching an all-time high with a monumental upset of then-ranked No. 3 Florida State last month, only to crash last week in a baffling 33-6...

In the Week 6 upset watch, No. 3-ranked Florida State at NC State was No. 3 on this list. Virginia Tech at North Carolina was No. 1. Both of those upsets came to fruition. Dare I rank the Noles again? 1. NC State at Maryland: If NC State wins, I d...

Another week, another one nobody saw coming. NC State's win over Florida State was an epic upset and an instant classic. It was also another black mark on my record. I finished 5-2 last week for an overall record of 44-11 (80 percent). If I drop belo...

WEEK 6 Last week, two of the three games on the upset watch came to fruition, as Virginia Tech and Wake Forest both lost. Clemson, the No. 1 team on the list, avoided the upset at Boston College. Here's a look at the top three upset possibilities ...

Apparently Georgia Tech needed to be on the Upset Watch last week. Virginia, Maryland and Clemson couldn't knock off their ranked opponents, but Miami shocked the Yellow Jackets (and a lot of college football fans) with a win in Atlanta. Overall, the...

This is not like last year. Last season, the Upset Watch was the kiss of death almost every week. Now? It's a safe haven. So far, none of the teams on the upset watch have gone down. This past weekend, Duke and Miami didn't even come close against ra...

I was shocked -- shocked I tell you -- that none of the teams on last week's Upset Watch fell. Usually there's at least one surprise in the ACC every week, but the conference pretty much stuck to the script, with Virginia Tech, Clemson and Maryland a...

For those of you who followed the blog last year (thanks), you know this list is the Kiss of Death. Apologies in advance. More often than not, the teams that appeared in the weekly upset watch lost. Florida State-Virginia. Clemson-NC State. Nor...

During the regular season, the ACC blog features a weekly "upset watch" post, a prediction of the top three games most likely to feature an upset. In 2011, the majority of games highlighted in that post came to fruition. So let's have a little fun an...

The Upset Watch is back, this time in postseason form. For those of you who paid attention during the regular season, you know that this list has been the kiss of death for several teams this year. There was a seven-week stretch during the season in ...

Two of the three games on last week's Upset Watch held true: The top game, Clemson at NC State, and the No. 3 game, Virginia at Florida State. The Noles fell out of the Top 25 in the BCS standings, and Clemson dropped from No. 7 to No. 17. The upset ...

For the first time this season, not one game listed on the upset watch turned out to be an upset last week. With Virginia Tech's win over Georgia Tech, the Hokies broke the streak of seven No. 1s on this list to fall. Duke did not beat Virginia last ...

Boo. Welcome to the scariest conference in all of college football, where weekly upsets are a coach's worst nightmare, and staying alive in the conference race is a house of horrors. In celebration of Halloween, the bloggers are taking you on a littl...

Here's a look at your top performers for Week 9: Georgia Tech quarterback Tevin Washington: His 176 rushing yards in the 31-17 upset of Clemson was a school record for a quarterback. He had a 46-yard run in the second quarter and then topped that ...

Nobody within Clemson's program needed to point out this week what happened to Wisconsin and Oklahoma, two programs that dropped like bricks out of the top six in the BCS standings with upset losses this past weekend. There was an unspoken realiza...
