University officials trend Democrat STORY BY CHELSEY FRANCIS
E
lection Day is today. Wake County is divided into 20 precincts for voting. Each precinct has different political races, but some races that are consistent throughout Wake County and the state. Statewide, a U.S. Senate seat is open for election. Elaine Marshall, a Democrat; Richard Burr, a Republican; and Michael Beitler, a Libertarian are all running for the U.S. Senate seat. There is also a Court of Appeals Judge seat open for election. Because of the election, the Technician researched how the administration at the University is registered, and when the last time they voted was. There is an online tool from the North Carolina Board of Elections that can be used to see voter affiliation and the date University administration last voted.

Students contribute towards plans for a biofuel plant in North Carolina Three chemical engineering students have decided to do their bit for the plans of a biofuel plant being developed by a local firm. Sagar Sane Staff Writer
Maverick Biofuels, a Chapel Hill based company has made plans to develop a bio fuel plant in the state of North Carolina. Seniors of chemical engineering department have decided to design a part of the Maverick’s project. Sam Yenne, CEO of Maverick Biofuels said there are three major components of the proj-
ect. “The students from N.C. State will be designing one of the three components of the project. It is still in the inception phase,” Yenne said. Steven Perreti, associate professor in chemical and biomolecular engineering department said it is a good opportunity for the students. “Russel Irvin, Jeremy Presson and Randolph Flexner chose this project they would like to work on. This will be a two semester project, ending in the spring of 2011,” Perreti said. “They will be working on a piece of the process analysis part of the project.” According to Perreti, the stu-
dents started working on the ect,” Perreti said. Perreti said project about that this is a three weeks nice opporback. tunity for the “[The stustudents. dents’] cur“It is a nice rent work inopportunity cludes doing as they will background ga i n some technolpractical ogy survey of knowledge the process about t he model.

The professor experience output of this will certainly project would help [stube a process model for the Maverick’s proj- dents] in future,” Perreti said.
“I hope in future, companies like Maverick offer more of such opportunities to students of the University.”
According to Yenne, this bio fuel plant, once completed will be a great boon to the state. “Currently, we are planning for a pilot plant that will employ about 20 people. The commercial plant will employ about 50 people, which will generate approximately 20 million gallons worth bio mass product,” Yenne said. Currently, only few cents per dollar of fuel remains with the state of North Carolina. “Major part of the revenue generated from the fuel goes to the countries from which this fuel is bought. Few cents of it remain with the state. If we produce bio fuel in the state, all the revenue remains in the
state, which can be channelized to development of North Carolina,” Yenne said. According to Yenne, the long term benefits of this project are huge. “We are very happy that students of N.C. State are contributing their bit towards this project. I feel this will definitely benefit the students,” Yenne said. Perreti said, “I hope in future, companies like Maverick offer more of such opportunities to students of the university. Hopefully, we will design another part of the bio fuel project next year.”
Speaker talks war and Islam Journalist Dahlia Lithwick talks about Islam, its effects on American society and the war on terrorism. Sagar Sane Staff Writer
Slate.com and Newsweek Supreme Court correspondent, Dahlia Lithwick, spoke about Islam and the war on terrorism. According to Traciel Reid, public and international affairs associate professor, this is the fifth year of the speaking series. “The focus mainly was on the policies of U.S. government on the global war on terrorism. Issues about the effects of Islam on the U.S. society were also discussed,” Reid said. The talk was based mainly on the legal aspects of the issues like how the United States courts work, what is the government’s policy on global war on terrorism and the impact of Islam on the American society. “It seems that the justice department does not know what to do about these terrorists like the 9/11 masterminds, the time square bomber and many others,” Lithwick said. According to Lit hw ick, America is facing the problem of terrorism right from 1980s. “How can it be that post 9/11, we are more afraid of terror. Rather than American values driving the laws of this country, shifts in law and its policies have let us to doubt our fundamental system of American values,” Lithwick said. Lithwick calls the effect of terrorism on American mind set as ‘Terrorism Derangement Syndrome’.

Addressing a student’s question at Bostian Hall, Dahlia Lithwick, a senior editor for Slate.com talks about America’s values in the sense of normalzing torture and Islamaphobia. In her speech she said about terrorism,”We are more afraid today. We’re stuck with a bunch of secrets and are scared because of the media and our political system. Our values have changed. Jack Baur in the “24” television series has normalized some our interrogation strategies, but torture is always wrong, said Lithwick.
Lithwick said, “We are more afraid today than we ever were before 9/11. Today, they [terrorists] are categorized as those who can be tried in civilian courts and those which ‘need’ to be tried in military courts.” According to Lithwick, fighting war on terror is not at all easy. It is something that the President inherits.

{OUR VIEW}
THE FACTS:
Voting about more than politics T
In 2006, only 37 percent of N.C. voters voted in the midterm election. In 2008, 70 percent of voters participated in the presidential election. There are 6,192,385 people in N.C. registered to vote out of an estimated population of 9,380,884.
OUR OPINION:
The national and state budget, student loans, economic policies, spending and jobs are issue that affect college students. Students should educate themselves on issues that are important to them and vote according to their beliefs.
oday is the last day to vote. The institution of voting is the basis of our government and defines our country. It is the citizen’s way of ensuring their voice is heard. While having a voice is great, students also need to establish their opinions about issues and vote based on the important issues. Budget cuts affect everyone’s life, but as students of a state land grant institution, we feel it the most in our education. Class sizes increase, faculty don’t have funding to pay for research and facilities repairs and construction come to a stop. Students need to look at the candidates who will look out for them when the state

budget goes to the chopping block. State midterm elections are important, but often forgotten. This year’s state election is very important for North Carolinians though. The North Carolina General Assembly will be redrawing district lines in the state because of the 2010 Census redistributions. This means the majority party has a better chance of picking its own voters. Graduating seniors, graduate and doctoral students are about to head into the workforce and their main concern
is most likely the economic climate of the country and the job market. They need to critically consider how their candidate plans to make jobs and stimulate the economy. While there are many positions on the ballot, a U.S. Senate seat is open. Richard Burr (R) and Elaine Marshall (D) are up for election. Burr did not support any of the stimulus plans and Marshall believes the way to deal with the economy is to make cuts where necessary and make appropriate investments. Marshall said, “When capitalism takes over, we get
economic collapse,” while Burr voted to override presidential veto of Farm Bill and extend unemployment benefits from 39 weeks to 59 weeks in 2008. Many factors are going to play into how students vote, but they need to be informed on the issues most important to them. Numerous websites have information about the candidates and the headquarters for the parties are available to answer questions about candidates. With all the information available, if students are informed and don’t vote, they can’t complain because they forfeit their voice when they don’t vote.

Are your views really your own?
C
ollege is meant to be a time when students are exposed to new ways of thinking and begin developing their own opinions on important matters. Results from the Pack Poll, Wes however, sugHouseholder gest most stuGuest Columnist dents owe their opi n ions to their parents. According to the poll, 80 percent of students who have two Republican parents also identify themselves as Republican. If both parents are Democrats, then a whopping 91 percent of students are self-identified Democrats. Interestingly, students were more likely to “defect” from their parent’s party identification if both parents were Republicans. We find that 16 percent of students with two Republican parents call themselves Democrats, but just 4 percent of students with two Democratic parents call themselves Republicans. The higher percentage of students who become Democrats compared to their parents’ party identification might be attributed to the perceived liberal atmosphere of a college campus. Beyond these effects on students’ partisanship, parental inf luence app e a r s to af fect their opinions on t he i s sue s . We a s k e d students, for example, whether they favored or opposed the recently passed health care reform bill. Overall, 34 percent said they favored the legislation, 44 percent were opposed, and the rest had no opinion. Yet, 69 percent of students with one or more Democratic parents and no Republican parents said they were in favor of the reform bill. Conversely, 65 percent of students with one or more Republican parents and no Democratic ones opposed the bill. This pattern is repeated for almost every issue we asked about, including feeling about legalizing gay marriage, the war in Afghanistan and the legalization of marijuana.
We also investigated this relationship directly by asking students what they believed to be their parents’ opinions on the issues. On health care, 93 percent of students who reported strongly favoring the reform bill said their mother supported the bill too. All but 4 percent of students who said they strongly opposed the bill thought their mother favored the bill. Our results for students’ fathers’ opinion were very similar, though not quite as determinant as their mothers’. We find a majority of students following in their parents’ footsteps as they make voting decisions in 2010. According to the Pack Poll survey, 69 percent of students with two Republican parents will be voting for Richard Burr, and 64 percent of students with two Democratic parents will be voting for Elaine Marshall. Likewise, 73 percent of students with two Republican parents plan to vote for a Republican for the State House, while 83 percent with two Democratic parents plan to vote for a Democrat. Overall, these results indicate m a ny s t udent s have yet to develop opinions about politics that are independent from their parents’. O f c ou rs e, students shouldn’t be expected to always deviate from their parents’ views, but certainly many expect to see greater independence than this.
“We find a majority of students following in their parents’ footsteps as they make voting decisions...”

What issue will affect your decision to vote? BY JONATHAN MILLNER

Konides Many credited young, Guest Columnists first-time voters for making his victory possible. Voter turnout is expected to drop as it always does in midterm elections. Republicans are expected to win a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives, and possibly retake the US Senate, too. How do State students plan to vote? According to the Pack Poll, Richard Burr is preferred by 40 percent of N.C. State undergraduates, while Elaine Marshall is preferred by just 28 percent of them. The Libertarian candidate was backed by 6 percent. Surprisingly, 26 percent of students polled said they were undecided just a week before the election, suggesting Marshall might still have the ability to catch Burr on Election Day. But before Democrats get too excited, Burr appears to benefit from the so-called “enthusiasm gap.” Similar to national trends for adults, Burr’s lead over Marshall widens among those most likely to vote. Students who said they were probably or definitely going to vote, or had already voted, supported Burr over Marshall. Conversely, Marshall polls
about evenly with Burr among students who said they probably or definitely would not vote. Further inspection of the polling data supports the view that a Burr victory will materialize primarily by mobilizing fellow Republicans to vote, rather than through converting Obama supporters to conservative causes. Students who call themselves Republicans, for example, were simply more likely to say they planned on voting compared to Democrats. For state offices, Republican candidates will benefit from who turns out to vote. The generic Republican candidate for state House leads the Democrat candidate 48 percent to 39 percent among students most likely to vote. Republican candidates not only benefit from the enthusiasm gap, but also from being perceived as better at handling more of the important issues facing the state. Respondents were asked which state level political party, Republicans, Democrats or neither, would do a better job handling six issues. A plurality felt Republicans would do better than Democrats at handling the economy, jobs, the budget and illegal immigration. Democrats were seen as better only at handling public education. Students were evenly split on which party would better handle the issue of health care, and most said there was no difference between Democrats and Republicans when it came to reducing corruption. Undergraduate students’ political feelings are very similar to adults in N.C. Two recent

polls of likely voters, one by the Civitas Institute, a right-leaning group that conducts non-par tisan polling, and another by Public Policy Polling, a Democratic group, find that N.C. voters prefer Republicans for the General Assembly by margins of 8 to 11 percent over Democrats. Likewise, a survey of North Carolina adults conducted by Dr. Cobb, the professor of the Pack Poll, finds that although adults’ political preferences are evenly divided, likely voters are siding with Republicans. Overall, the implications of the Pack Poll findings suggest there could be significant changes coming to state level politics. If the Republicans do win both chambers in the North Carolina General Assembly, the state will be facing a “divided government”, where a Republican General Assembly will try to coexist with a Democratic Governor, Beverly Purdue. On this last day to vote, students can make a difference about the direction of their state government and determine who will represent us for the next six years in the U.S. Senate.

An essay contest to provide an introduction to chef Anthony Bourdain’s new book seeks to answer the question of “what is cooking well?” Mark Herring Staff Writer
Famous chef and author, Anthony Bourdain, has spent the last 10 years of his life traveling around the world, trying to experience and reveal the importance of cuisine and cooking for various cultures and countries. The host of the Travel Channel show No Reservations has come out with a new book called Medium Raw, which is more or less a stream of Bourdain’s witty and curious conscience trying to sum up what it really means to cook well. Residents of the Triangle, if you’re avid cooks, fans of Bourdain or interested in the bowels of the restaurant business, ta ke note. Bourdain will be in Raleigh Nov. 13 at the Progress Energy Center to talk about his new book. Just recently, Bourdain and Harper Collins Publishing conducted an essay contest to find an upcoming food aficionado/writer to come up with an introduction to the book, revolving around the book’s theme— what is cooking well? What does it mean to cook well? That is just about as ambiguous as asking, “What does it mean to be an interpretive dancer?” However, after delving deeper into the question, I don’t think Bourdain was looking for the straight skinny on cooking. Even throughout his long list of books and in his commentary on his television show, Bourdain intentionally avoided generalizing the significance of cuisine. Defining cooking
well is nearly impossible, but the emotions and sentiments it evokes provide a more tangible metric. Bourdain’s new book is a compilation of what he refers to as “love letters to the industry.” However, through this assortment of essays and commentary Bourdain has accumulated over the years, the chef does not aim to talk just about cooking, but also the progression of his life. “Medium Raw is a book kind of about me trying to come to terms with where my life is now and where I was then,” Bourdain said in a promo for the new book. “I’m working through conf licting feelings about the business that I was in for about all of my adult life since I was 17. The business has changed. There is a lot of prestige. People now care about what chefs think.” Only 30 years ago, Bourdain was addicted to hard drugs and trudged through his career. Upon straightening up his act, the crude yet clever chef st a r ted to write a book a b out t he hidden and unsung experiences of working in the restaura nt business. Kitchen Confidential, which was published in 2000, completely turned Bourdain’s life around. “Ten years ago, I guess Kitchen Confidential had just come out and I was very much under the impression, ‘I better keep my day job,’” Bourdain said on his television program. “When I wrote the thing I had no expectation that it would sell outside of New York. I was hoping at best for a little cult success in the New York area.” The instant success of Kitchen Confidential threw Bourdain into celebrity-chef stardom, yet he was reluctant to catch onto the fame. As a loather of the kitchen personalities on the Food Net-
work, Bourdain continued to cook a few years while he cautiously started his new show No Reservations with the Travel Channel. Since the beginning of No Reservations, Bourdain has produced more than 100 episodes in which he travels around the world, sampling local cuisine varying from street food to Michelin-rated dishes from some of the best restaurants in order to try to comprehensively reveal a cross section of culture. Medium Raw heavily incorporates the experiences Bourdain recounts in his television show and delves deeper into his thoughts about the restaurant business. In response to Medium Raw, food writer and dear friend of Bourdain, Michael Ruhlman posted a video on his food blog of him rambling why it is important to cook. “Look at where we are today,” Ruhlman said. “We basically gave our cooking away in the 1950s to the multinational corporations. We let them do the work for us. We bought the advertising that said, ‘We’ll make it so easy for you.’ But what happens when we don’t cook for half a century? Again, we forget how important how food is.” Bourdain’s essay contest was thought-provoking for me, and after making little manifestos to myself, I came to the realization that the one thing people like Bourdain and Ruhlman have dedicated their lives to, cooking, surrounds us. These days it’s not hard to find a slew of people shoveling cheap and nasty food into their faces while in a rush. Not that there is anything wrong with cheap food or eating on the fly, but it seems that many people have forgotten what it means to enjoy food and, moreover, what it means to cook—well or not. We all have become alienated from true cooking. I have Orwellian nightmares that humanity is losing touch with its “human” aspect, and that we’re all regressing back into cultureless beasts.
of course.” Vos said she also recycles and keeps a compost bucket in her room that she disposes of in a vermicompost. Dean said he stresses the importance of unplugging cell phone chargers, coffee makers, and other small appliances when not in use. Phantom loads account for between 14 and 16% of an electric bill. “People think sustainability is hard, but it’s not hard. It’s easy to do one thing and make a big impact,” said Dean.
For the Office of Energy Management, the toughest challenge is getting their message to all students. “We have roughly 41 million people on campus every day. That’s a city,” Dean said. “Our initiatives are hopefully going to be a model for other universities and municipalities.”

“Cooking made us human, cooking can keep us human and cooking can make us even more human,” Ruhlman said. “I think that being human is a good thing. I think that cooking making us even more human is a better thing!” Bourdain and Ruhlman make the point that cooking is an integral part of culture, but sadly the most transient. Picasso’s painting of Guernica will be in Madrid forever and there will always be a copy of Charles Dickens’ works, yet cooking must be learned, practiced, and appreciated. Recipes can vanish within generations if not passed along. Bourdain stresses this point in his sarcastic remarks in which he refers to many chain restaurants as “TGI Mc-Funsters.” His witty yet poignant statement does have validity. Why have we disregarded our relationship with food and cooking? Cuisine existed prior to language. It is what separates us from beasts. I’m not going off on some Nietzsche-inspired tangent, but unlike wild animals, we have the capacity to enjoy food, so we cook. However, with all humanity nonsense aside, Bourdain ironically makes the point that we are ravenous animals. Food plays a primal role in the grand scheme of life, which basically boils down to eating and reproducing—it’s no wonder they complement each other so well. Nonetheless, we are ravenous animals with some compassion and generosity. We cook to share. That is what it is all about. When food tastes good, it is easy to act smug and describe it unintelligibly like notes on the side of a wine bottle. How-

ever, when food is truly good and honestly cooked, there are no words expressed. There are no “notes of cinnamon” or “essence of black fruits.” It is just pure, unadulterated emotion—nostalgia, first love, guilt or maybe absolute self-loathing. Ever eaten a street gyro? The taste is trivial. It is all about the personal disrespect—done ever so deliciously. That is what makes cooking an art. Cooking provides us with a catharsis for comfort. We cook to express the subtle feelings that manifest themselves in hunger. Good cooking is not a product of good intentions in the kitchen. Hell is full of those, like the Krispy Kreme burger
combo from the State Fair. Rather, cooking well is the respect of established recipes and techniques that have survived the trials of history and a healthy dose of creativity to transcend the prescriptions of a traditional kitchen. Good cooking can be found all over the place, whether it be some in Michelin-rated restaurant or from the comal of some dodgy taquería. So what does all of this mean? I don’t really know and I won’t pretend to.

“One of the reasons we were able to start Vestique was because my husband is a web-developer. We designed it, but he brought our designs to fruition. His company helped us get everything the way it is, the way you see it right now,” Genty said. Genty and King said their education at the University gave them valuable skills needed to start and run a business like Vestique. “I was a business and marketing education major. While I’m not teaching, I was able to gain a lot of skills as far as marketing. I had entrepreneur classes at N.C. State and was well-informed as a student on starting a business and all different types of marketing tactics,” King said. “I’ve definitely been able to bring that knowledge to the table with Vestique.” Genty was a communication major and said her classes and background in public relations are used to spread the word about Vestique. “Caroline [King] has helped so much with the business side and I’m helping with the PR side. We don’t have a huge budget; we don’t have a budget for advertising at all right now. PR and any free and cheap marketing have really been beneficial for us,” Genty said. Although the business has only been open for four weeks, several items have already sold out and the two owners are excited about its success. “We’ve done really well our first 4 weeks, better than we ever expected that we would do. We’re just hoping to keep the momentum going and get the word out to more people,” Genty said. “We can’t wait to see how people from N.C. State take to this.”

MEN’S SOCCER
Longtime teammates continue to succeed Teammates, friends bring winning attitude to the Wolfpack

A tendency for many freshmen coming to college is to look for familiar faces while acclimating to the new culture and freedom that being a student at a university provides. Similarly, athletes must adjust to the different playing styles of new teammates and increased speed at the college level. However, Four local soccer products made that transition smoothly, and brought nearly ten years of experience playing together to the Pack when they enrolled at N.C. State. Redshirt junior goalkeeper Will Mackvick, junior forward Watt Williams, senior defenders Tyler Lassiter and Lucas Carpenter know each other well, to say the least. The four of them have learned from each other since playing on the 1988 CASL Elite squad. “Playing with [Williams, Carpenter, and Mackvick] is something that I’ve done for so long now,” Lassiter said. “I know exactly what they’re going to do, and they know what I’m going to do. We know each others tendencies and it helps us playing together when we really understand each other as well as we do.” Each player has his own style, but they have learned from one another over the years and know how to win. The four teammates helped lead the ’88 CASL Elite to USYSA National Championship in 2003 as well as multiple state and regional

championships. Macvick and Williams were also high school teammates at local Broughton High School, where they won the 2006 NCHSAA 4-A state championship together. This winning attitude is something that they have tried to infuse into the current Pack team. “I feel like we have all contributed to the team,” Lassiter said. “We all know what we believe the team should play like because we have all played together and won together on different levels. We all try to work together to get the team to where everyone wants to be.” Carpenter has been a leader on the defensive side for much of the year, as he was named a captain at the beginning of the year. However, an injury to his leg, which required surgery, has sidelined him for a number of games. Therefore, other seniors, such as Lassiter, have stepped up to help the Pack. “Whenever you lose a senior like Lucas [Carpenter] everyone has to step up,” senior forward Chris Zuerner said. “But the senior leadership that Tyler [Lassiter] exhibits has really

helped the team. His offensive and defensive presence has really helped us get to where we are.” With Mackvick, Lassiter, and Carpenter playing mostly on the defensive side of the ball, they have a sense of playing for each other. Lassiter and Carpenter try to make life easier for friend and goalkeeper Mackvick. “Will [Mackvick] being my goalie makes me want to work harder,” Lassiter said. “He’s not just my keeper, he’s like a brother to me. I’ve known him my whole life so I don’t want the ball getting past me and getting to him.” However, after the Pack was limited offensively in several
games, coach George Tarantini moved Lassiter into more of an attacking role. When this happened, he was able to learn from one of his longtime friends about what aspects of his game needed improvement. “We all learn from each other,” Lassiter said. “For example, Watt [Williams] really helped me out when I made the change to offense. He really knows the game well and helped me out when I made the switch. Playing together everyday before coming to State has helped us all to play the game better.” Not only have the four players shared memories on the soccer field, but they know each other on a personal level

from the many years playing together. While each one of the players is used to each other’s tendencies and abilities, Lassiter realizes that playing together for this long is rare and something he cherishes. “Not a lot of kids get the chance to play with their teammates all the way through college,” Lassiter said. “I feel like it’s something really special. We all have the same memories of hours in hotels playing video games with each other and having some good times even when we weren’t playing soccer.”
losing three or even all of these games. And then we have the Pack which travels to Clemson this week, has Wake Forest at home the week after, and then finishes on the road against Carolina and Maryland. The way Florida State’s schedule sets up State can’t afford to drop a single game. Three of the four remaining games on the road will be tough and State will need to bring its A game every week. One single slip up could derail this team’s ACC title hopes and leave many of you people who are planning on or have already bought a ticket to the ACC championship left scalping it right before the game begins. I for one don’t feel particularly comfortable and don’t think everyone should get their expectations too high just yet. It is possible that this is just because I have been hurt too many times by N.C. State athletics. So much so that I am to scared of getting my hopes up in fear of ending up with a broken heart yet again. I’m not trying to knock this team, I love it and think that it is the real deal, but I just am not drinking the Kool-Aid yet and am trying to possibly sway you to do the same at least for the time being.

The club cricket team hoists the regional championship trophy inWashington, D.C. N.C. State won the ACC Mid-Atlantic Regional. Tournament by defeating 2009 champions Montgomery College, 2010 Semi-Finalists UMBC and George Mason University. The Pack is currently ranked No. 1 in the country according to American College Cricket. With the Regional championship, the Wolfpack Cricket Club will compete at the national championships in March.
Don’t count the chicks before they hatch Let me begin this column by saying that I am a complete optimist in every aspect of the word. I always try to look on the bright side of things, even when t hey a re Taylor the gloomBarbour iest. A nd Deputy Sports a s toug h Editor as it is for me to say this, it needs to be said. The win against Florida State was huge for Tom O’Brien and the N.C. State football program, but it does not mean the season is over. A spot in the ACC Championship game in Charlotte is by no means a guarantee. There is still a ton of football left, four games to be exact, and nothing is going to be easy. As we all know, being N.C. State fans, the Pack doesn’t exactly like to do things the easy way. Everything that I have heard so far since last Thursday nights victory over the Seminoles is, “hooray, hooray, the Pack controls its own destiny.” Heck, even the Technician wrote the game story headline as “Hello, driver’s seat.” But the team controlled its own destiny at the beginning of the season as well. All the Wolfpack had to do was win every game of the season and it would win the ACC title and potentially even be playing for a BCS Title, but its just not that easy. This team has played exceptionally well at times, but has also played horrible at times. For example, the ECU game and second half of Virginia Tech. With four games to go, three of which on the road, starting with a very talented Clemson team coming off a loss who nobody seems to be talking about this week, this may be the game to tell all about where the Pack are going. If State is able to go down and win in possibly one of the most hostile environments in the ACC, Death Valley, then I may feel a bit more confident, but only a little. At this point State is tied with Maryland in second place in the Atlantic Division at 3-1, a single game behind Florida State, who is 4-1. But due to the head to head match-ups and the win against the Seminoles, the Pack only has to win out to capture the crown. In this three team race State has one of the toughest remaining schedules. Florida State has arguably the easiest with only three ACC games remaining, at home against North Carolina and Clemson and on the road at Maryland. With this remaining schedule it’s not hard to think that the Seminoles could wind up 7-1 in the ACC, leaving the Pack with zero room for error. The Terps on the other hand have a pretty brutal remaining schedule playing at Miami, at Virginia then finishing at home against Florida State and finally the Pack. Maryland’s has not really beaten anyone special, instead has taken advantage of the weaker teams in the ACC. So I don’t expect them to stay in this race much longer and could see them
