We know the SEC Network is a money maker, and has greatly added to the SEC’s financial bottom line. That news was pretty much expected. There’s been some subtle NCAA college baseball tournament TV scheduling going on that I’m quite surprised hasn’t had more attention regarding the SEC Network. If you haven’t noticed the SEC …

You know you’ve been waiting for it. Our yearly rankings of the top 5 ACC players at each position. We are starting with quarterbacks, and I’d put up the ACC’s collection of QB’s against any conference in the country. That’s not exaggeration either. The quarterback play in the ACC this year will be outstanding. Previous …

When you’re on top, nobody can touch you. That’s the way it was for SEC football for most of the last decade. Any criticism of SEC Football could be answered by “scoreboard”. Their teams were given the benefit of the doubt in the rankings, but when they played you, they usually won. That obviously helped …

Well that didn’t long… Everett Golson only chose Florida State a few days ago and has already been named the ACC’s top Heisman candidate by Bovada at 14/1 odds. Deshaun Watson of Clemson is at 20/1 odds, and Georgia Tech’s Justin Thomas is at 33/1. Further down the the list Florida State’s Dalvin Cook, Pittsburgh’s …

NC State sometimes gets lost in the shuffle in the ACC. Sometimes they even get lost a bit on Tobacco road, but if you are a NC State fan you’ve had quite a bit to cheer to about over the last few months. Back in 2012 we noted the Wolfpack were one of only three …

Some are calling it game changer. Some are are trying to temper the enthusiasm. When Everett Golson chose to transfer from Florida State, it was definitely a significant move. I’m not entirely convinced Golson is a game changer myself yet. He’s turns the ball over too much, and remember he was the starter last year …

If you read the blog, you know we keep an eye on the ACC Network discussions. The SEC Network appears to be a solid success right out of the gate. The Big 10 network after some early issues, is a money maker. Conference networks aren’t homeruns though. The Mountain West Network didn’t survive, and now …
