Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – your most recent OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference that throughout the season. We’ll give each conference a relative strength value 1-10. Let me explain my relative rankings 0-5 : Conference lacks depth no elite teams 6-7: Conference lacks depth, …

Right now after the games of October 30th, the Clemson Tigers have the best resume in college football. It is is better than Alabama’s who has one very good home win against Texas A&M. Tennessee, Arkansas and Ole Miss have all fallen apart down the stretch. Michigan hasn’t beat anyone of note other than maybe …

This won’t be a long post, because there isn’t much to add. Boston College hadn’t won an ACC football game since November 29, 2014. Saturday they beat NC State 21-14 in an embarrassing home loss for the Wolfpack. I’m not taking anything away from BC. Those players could have quit long ago, but they didn’t. …

Virginia vs Louisville was probably the one of the best under the radar games I’ve seen all year. Virginia for several years has been one of the worst ACC football programs. They hired the high successful Bronco Mendenhall out of BYU. Mendenhall’s teams were know for toughness and physical play. We knew that would be …

In a conference with quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Jerod Evans, Mitch Tribusky, Eric Dungey, Deondre Francois, and Brad Kaaya among others, Georgia Tech’s Justin has gotten lost in the shuffle. The senior has been the heart and soul of Georgia Tech football for the last few years. He just never quits, and he’s usually …

Even though we’ve been focused on football here at the @AllSportsDACC blog, we haven’t forgot the college basketball season is right around the corner. NCAA.com says the ACC looks like the country’s best basketball conference.

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. I hope you watched Virginia Tech’s Thursday night road game at Pittsburgh. It was intense and that rivalry, which was fostered in the Big East, has now carried over to the ACC. It was so intense, that I was originally going to write a blog post solely about …
