NC State is in sole possession of 1st place in the ACC Atlantic

This may not even last 24 hours, and therefore it is worth noting because when can we do this again?

Hello. Yes. Hi. Hello, how’s things. You know I just logged onto the internet this evening to note that following Clemson’s loss at Syracuse Friday night, there is only one undefeated team in conference play in the Atlantic Division. That is NC State, if you were wondering which team it was.

Call me a jinx if you must, but I’m trying to enjoy every minute of this stupid football season and if this changes, well, at least I have photographic evidence that it once was. We are all alone in first place, thanks to the very fine people of Syracuse.

Syracuse, wonderful place, great football team. Beat Clemson by a hair on Friday night. Doesn’t really alter the division math, because if Clemson wins out (and therefore beats State) it wins the division, but dude, dude though did you see these standings though. It’s mid-October and these are the standings and also we have Jaylen Samuels.
