Let’s be honest it hasn’t been the strongest start to the season for the ACC. The conference is just 3-10 against the rest of the Power 5 and Notre Dame. Louisville proved it wasn’t ready for prime time losing to Auburn, then stumbling against Houston. Virginia Tech looks no closer to returning to it’s glory …

Virginia’s OOC scheduling helped doom Mike London, and has hurt the ACC.
Friday night Virginia Cavalier football hit rock bottom. A humiliating 56-14 loss was handed to Virginia by Boise State, but it didn’t have to be that way. Head coach Mike London deserves plenty of blame for winning only 12 games in the last 3 1/2 seasons, but his school did him no favors. Since 2012, …

Georgia Tech’s season could be about to meltdown after ugly loss in Durham.
2 weeks ago the Yellow Jackets were a darkhorse playoff contender. Now they are team that may struggle to reach a bowl game after falling 34-20 to a more inspired, better coached, and and more talented Duke team. The collapse has been swift and stunning for Georgia Tech. What went wrong, and how did happen …

ACC Football: What Did We Learn? Week 3 Edition
Week 3 was a see-saw for ACC football, but I guess that’s not always a bad thing when it comes to learning experience. Pittsburgh lost to Iowa on a 57 yard FG. Syracuse, NC State, and Miami are 3-0, and Duke still can’t find that quality OOC win after taking a loss at home to …

Forgotten Miami isn’t “back” but win over Nebraska is something to build on.
Let’s be honest, most of us had kind of forgotten about Miami. Were they even relevant anymore? The ACC was Clemson and Florida State. Georgia Tech has had moments. Duke was improved, and Virginia Tech has that defense. Miami? They were Brad Kaaya, and a coach on the hotseat in Al Golden. Nebraska wouldn’t be …
