By Scott Levy Week 4 saw no shortage of clutch and big-time performances throughout the ACC. For the first time this season, it was completely acceptable to leave Louisville’s Lamar Jackson and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson off this list.

Quick blog post for the evening here, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. David (Dave) Johnson, a real estate agent in my hometown of Mayville, ND, apparently had time of his life at the Ryder Cup. He heckled Henrik Stenson with the old, “You can’t make that putt!!” So, apparently, he gets called out by Stenson …

After three weeks, we can comfortably say that it’s been a surprising start to the NFL season. Virtually all predictions made before week one have turned out to be wrong. Teams that were expected to be front runners for the Super Bowl (Carolina and Green Bay) are struggling coming out of the gate, while others …

I hear there is another huge football game in the ACC this week. We better check on those ACC bloggers from Louisville and Clemson. What does Clemson blog RubbingtheRock have to say about Louisville in their scouting about the Cardinals. Louisville blog CardChronicle says Bobby Petrino isn’t going anywhere.

Why am I discussing conference power rankings? Well because as teams start playing each other in their conference, the strength of a conference determines the quality of your wins as the playoffs approach. It matters so let’s get right into it.

Let that sink in for a moment the Wake Forest Demon Deacons are 4-0. This was a team that a couple of years ago may had the worst offensive line in the country, and they are undefeated after winning at Indiana 33-28. Now Indiana isn’t a college football blue blood, but they were a bowl …

I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t watch it. Duke as a 3 TD underdog waltzed into South Bend and beat Notre Dame 38-35. If you’re a Duke fan just bask in the all glory of it. Nobody gave you chance after losses to Wake Forest and Northwestern. After going down 14-0, it was …

Just a week ago Florida State state was pulverized 63-20 by Louisville. Against a dangerous South Florida team that was 3-0, the Noles could have come in with a huge hangover. They game didn’t start well as the Noles gave up an 84 yard TD pass play to South Florida. They were down 14-7 early, …
