It was a debacle in Atlanta Saturday, and absolute debacle. Georgia Tech lost by 3 TDs to a Middle Tennessee St team they were favored to beat by more than 25 points. It was a humiliating loss. It’s the kind of loss coaches and teams can have a very hard time recovering from. Since a 10-1 start …

ACC Week 5 awards: The Good, the Bad and the Georgia Tech.
The Good Is that you Miami? Miami has moved to 4-1 on the season. They beat NC State 44-37. The Canes are one of the few ACC teams that have exceeded expectations and I think must be considered the Coastal Division favorite now. Miami is not a good defensive team, and we know that, but …

ACC Week 4 awards: The FSU, the Bad and the Ugly.
The Good National Championship Contender? Is it pre-mature to talk about Florida State as a national title contender, a true one? No not at all. Clemson scored 37 points and still lost by double digits. That’s the scary part about Florida State. The defense won’t give up 37 points to anyone else they face this …

In the next 5 years of the ACC, there’s FSU, Clemson and who’s next?
Understandably the focus of this week in the ACC is a top 10 matchup between Florida State and Clemson. The game has been hyped across the country, Gameday will there. It’s great for those programs and great for the ACC to have such a high profile game. I’ve always thought the perception of a conference isn’t …

Clay Travis on the Alabama Crimson Tide and The Tennessee Titans
No comment. Well, actually I do have one comment – I disagree with Clay Travis. If the Tennessee Titans and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide played, it would not be close – it is beyond ridiculous to suggest that an NFL team would lose or even stay close with a college team. If not …

Florida State and Clemson is the ACC’s biggest regular season game since….
Part of the perception of a conference in football is not only OOC results, but also inter-conference games. Let’s be honest there haven’t been alot of ACC football games that had national championship ramifications. I thought there could be a nice round robin set of high profile games between Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Florida State, …
