The ACC's Week 8 Television Schedule

The ACC proudly boasts another Thursday night game although this one is paired up against a top twenty five match up between BYU and TCU. But if a game is on VS does it really happen?

All in all we've got some good coverage, all games televised and a couple of solid national television match ups for the ACC to add to their ever growing cache. And yes, Erin Andrews will be at the State Fair Thursday.

Thursday, October 16th:

Florida State @ North Carolina State (ESPN, 7:30pm)- Chris Fowler, Jesse Palmer, Craig James, Erin Andrews

Saturday, October 18th:

Georgia Tech @ Clemson (ESPN, Noon)- Dave Pasch, Andre Ware

19 Wake Forest @ Maryland (Raycom, Noon)- Steve Martin, Rick Walker, Mike Hogewood

21 North Carolina @ Virginia (ABC/ESPN2, 3:30pm)- Terry Gannon, David Norrie

Miami @ Duke (ESPNU, 3:45pm)- Doug Bell, Charles Arbuckle

18 Virginia Tech @ Boston College (ESPN2, 8pm)- Mark Jones, Bob Davie

That list will also include two names that the Tigers shouldn't even invite to Pickens county.

Along with the continued Clemson melodrama we'll talk about the Brandon Tate injury and what a blow that strikes to UNC football's season expectations. The Heels will have to pick things up and make some serious personnel changes to continue their push towards the ACC title game.

Lastly this week's biggest ACC issue will be the resurgence of Virginia. The Wahoos looked awful early but the last two weeks they have proven themselves to be a team capable of winning on any given Saturday.

As with every episode of Football, From Mass to Miami you'll find:

A recap of all the Week 7 action in the ACC
Complete breakdowns of the ACC Standings
Detailed rankings of offense, defense as well as overall units
The ACC Issues of the Week
A look ahead to Week 8's games including predictions

This show might get a little bit testy as your host bristles from the incredible let down experienced at the hands of the Clemson Tigers.
