Terps or Deacs?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Now that Miami has eliminated Boston College from the Atlantic Division race, which would you rather see win that division and play Georgia Tech: Maryland or Wake Forest?
Maryland has been held to fewer than 100 yards rushing in each of the last four games and has scored 16 points or fewer in its last three. Receivers haven’t been doing Sam Hollenbach many favors. Tech had to rally to beat the Terps at home; what would a rematch look like?
Wake might be the more interesting matchup, with its team-of-destiny story line and the fact that it hasn’t played Tech this season. Like Tech, Wake had to hang on to beat North Carolina and had its hands full against N.C. State. Wake intercepts a lot of passes but gives up Duke-like passing yards; if you want to make the championship game a Calvin Johnson-and-Reggie Ball affair, this is the matchup for you. Tashard Choice, though, might have a tough day against the Deamon Deacons.
