As we head into week 4, ACC play is beginning to heat up (for teams not named "Virginia"). There are 7 ACC teams in action in out-of-conference games this week, and three conference matchups to pick.
If you don't remember the rules: Post your picks for the 10 ACC games this week down in the comments. (Remember, we are picking against the spread; if you pick Clemson in the Clemson-NCSU matchup, you actually picking them to "cover the spread" and win by more than 14 points). Here's a link to last week's competition.
At the end of the season, the three commenters with the best records win "Keep Calm and Streak the Lawn" t-shirts! You only need to pick 80% of games to qualify. I have tabulated the standings to date, but please feel free to check your scores. UVA fans are apparently geniuses, with commenters and blog-writers alike combining to pick about 60% of games correctly to date.
Remember, the Clemson - NCSU game is tonight! (So that pick must be in by 7:30 PM)
Here are our week 4 picks:

| VMI @ Virginia (-43) | Virginia | Virginia | VMI | VMI | VMI | VMI | VMI :( | VMI | VMI |
| UNC @ GT (-6) | UNC | UNC | GT | GT | GT | GT | GT | GT | GT |
| Marshall @ VT (-8) | VT | VPISU | Marshall | VPISU | Marshall | VT | VT (I'll never learn) | Marshall | VT |
| Wake Forest (-3) @ Army | Army | Army | Wake | Army | Wake | Army | Wake | Army | Army |
| Pitt (-4) @ Duke | Duke | Duke | Pitt | Pitt | Pitt | Duke | Pitt | Pitt | Pitt |
| Tulane @ Syracuse (-14.5) | Tulane | Syracuse | Syracuse | Cuse | Syracuse | Syracuse | Tulane | Syracuse | Syracuse |
| WVU @ Maryland (-5.5) | Maryland | WVU | WVU | WVU | WVU | Maryland | WVU | West Virginia | West Virginia |
| Bethune-Cookman @ FSU (-40) | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU | FSU |
| Savannah St. @ Miami (-60) | Miami | Miami | Savannah St. | Savannah St | Savannah St. | Savannah St. | Savannah St. | Savannah St | Savannah St |
| Wins | 20 | 19 | 18 | 18 | 17 | 17 | 17 | 12 | 18 |
| Losses | 10 | 11 | 12 | 12 | 13 | 13 | 13 | 18 | 12 |
| Pushes | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| % | 67% | 63% | 60% | 60% | 57% | 57% | 57% | 40% | 60% |
And some expert-ish insight on these matchups:
| Game | Consensus Pick | Preview |
| Clemson (-14) @ NCSU | Clemson | Clemson should win this game by 30, but ya know, Clemson will Clemson at some point in time. (Let's just hope it happens Nov. 2) - WC |
| VMI @ Virginia (-43) | VMI | This was a very sad thing to have to do, but we are all a bit too shell-shocked after the first two games to expect over 43 points from the offense. London could ease off early. - BS |
| UNC @ GT (-6) | GT | Georgia Tech's looked really good thus far. No reason to expect them not to roll at home against Carolina -BS |
| Marshall @ VT (-8) | VT | I pick VPISU and they cover, and I'll be happy. I pick VPISU and they lose, and I'll be happy. WIN-WIN! - WC |
| Wake Forest (-3) @ Army | Army | Wake Forest showed how awful they were last week, losing to Louisiana-Monroe...and going to West Point, Hoo says they can't do it again? Army looked good at Stanford - BS |
| Pitt (-4) @ Duke | Pitt | This will be a nice legitimate intro for Pitt into playing in the ACC...playing on a field that is worse than some high schools. Way to go Duke! -CD |
| Tulane @ Syracuse (-14.5) | Syracuse | Syracuse is mediocre. Tulane is awful. This isn't that clever, but it is brutally true. -PMW |
| WVU @ Maryland (-5.5) | West Virginia | This is like choosing which of your country cousins you dislike the least. Maryland's performance versus UConn is what scared me about their chances. - TM |
| Bethune-Cookman @ FSU (-40) | FSU | The Noles have already absolutely demolished Nevada (and kinda Pitt)...I feel sorry for their next victim - BS |
| Savannah St. @ Miami (-60) | Savannah St | Miami is good. Savannah St. is not. But It's hard for me to ever take a team that is -60. -TM |
