Less than 2 months until football season… Less than 2 months until football season. It can’t come soon enough. In the meantime we’ll see what our ACC Bloggers are talking about to try and get us through until college football starts.
The big ACC news at moment seems to growing possibility of an affiliation between Notre Dame and the ACC, specifically the possibility of pairing the two in the Orange Bowl. Boston College blog BCInterruption calls it a Catch-22 when dealing with Notre Dame.
The catch being by giving the Irish a major bowl deal, Notre Dame can retain their independence. i.e not joining any conference.
An interesting take, but I’m not sure I agree. This is just too risky a gamble for the ACC. Sure the ACC could be hardline, but some conference will deal with Notre Dame. Why not the ACC? As long as the Irish meet some specific Orange Bowl criteria 9+ wins top 15 ranking, I’m good with it. I like the idea of opening season games with Notre Dame too. Well see what the final agreement is.

There is an intriguing early season game with NC State playing Tennessee. NC State blog Backing the Pack is doing a nice position by position comparison of the Wolfpack and Vols. He’s looking at the linebackers in this piece.
