A couple of ACC teams made some real positive moves this week… find out who below. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are …

Recruiting is the foundation for building the best teams in college athletics. Anyone that says otherwise either doesn’t really follow college sports or supports a school that recruits poorly. That’s the conventional thought. How true is it? I decided to take the final top 25 teams from this year Coaches Poll, and pull their Scout and …

If you have been following the blog conference rankings, it’s been more or less an eyeball test with a hefty dose of non conference results thrown in. During the regular season non-conference results are limited, but now that bowl season is over it’s good to review where each conference stands after the season. We now …

We’ve maintained here at this blog an ACC Network was going to happen. Comments back in November have led us to believe the discussions with ESPN were picking up steam, but we still haven’t received that definitive statement from the ACC that YES the Network is on the way. Some interesting comments were quoted by the …

Need a little pre-National Championship game reading, or something for the Halftime? By the way I’d like to Oregon win. I think it’s good for college football to see some non-historical powers football win a title. I think you have to go back 1991 when Washington split a title with Miami to find one. The …

We’ve got some shakeup in this week’s bubble analysis, find out who moved up and who moved down. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI …

There’s no question the ACC has improved as a football conference in recent years, but it is still not at the level of the Pac 12 or the SEC. The ACC did go 5-3 against the SEC, but most of that work was done by the best teams in conference. That still counts and it …

When you go 4-7 during bowl season like the ACC did, it’s hard to find positives. Same ole ACC from the critics who were ready to pounce. I’m not here say 4-7 was good. It certainly wasn’t. Performances by UNC, Miami, and the 4th quarter meltdown by Pittsburgh were especially ugly. Let’s not forget Boston …

Welcome back to the ACC Basketball Power Rankings. If you missed them yesterday (you didn’t), I held off a day realizing that Thursday and Friday are typically the off days in this year’s ACC schedules. Maybe I could have done a little research before starting this weekly practice and done it on Thursday all along, …

Happy New Year from all of us at All Sports Discussion. You can follow us on Twitter at @AllSportsDACC. Let’s talk some awesomeness first – the ACC will likely have four teams in the Associated Press Top Ten most of the season – and will repeatedly play nationally televised scheduled games vs. each other over …
