Louisville still has Marshall to play this weekend before the big showdown at Death Valley with the Clemson Tigers. I’m going to assume Louisville takes care of business. I think that is a safe bet. Thursday night Clemson headed to Atlanta to play Georgia Tech. The Tigers won 26-7, and a couple of things are …

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.

Yesterday Florida State was pulverized in a way that I didn’t think was possible by the Louisville Cardinals. This wasn’t a 5 Turnover game that turned a close game into a blowout like a couple of years ago in a 59-20 loss to Oregon. Florida State was beaten every which way possible against Louisville. The …

When you are coming off a 3-9 season, you can’t take any games the next year for granted. With a less than daunting, but still a dangerous opening three games, Georgia Tech needed to open the season 3-0 if there was any chance of having a bowl season. Mercer in game two wouldn’t be a …

We didn’t know quite what to make of Louisville before Saturday. Sure QB Lamar Jackson had rolled up yards against a bad Kentucky team and against Texas A&M in the bowl game last year. This season UNC-Charlotte and Syracuse turned into a highlight reels for Jackson, but this was Florida State coming to town. These …

Sometimes it’s take the national media a little while to catch on. I tweeted after watching Florida State QB’s Deondre Francois shred the Ole Miss defense to pieces in the 2nd half. The quarterbacking in the ACC is just sick. Watson, Francois, Jackson, Kaaya, Thomas, Trubisky, Evans…. — Jeff or Jeffrey Fann (@TalkinACCSports) September 6, …

It was a very easy week for the ACC conference, as most teams played a non-power conference team. The power teams played as expected, as the middle of the pack teams showed why they are called that. 1) (#2) Florida State: 52-8 win over Charleston Southern Deondre Francois put up an 85.6 QB rating and …
