Miami had everything to play for. They could have stamped themselves a true contender in the Coastal, maybe even move towards being a darkhorse playoff team. Finally they had a chance to end a long 6 game losing to their hated arch rival Florida State. The Noles had lost their chance for the playoffs, and …

If I had just turned on the television to see Virginia Tech pummel North Carolina 34-3, I would have thought it was 2004 or 2005. The Hokies defense was swarming, and kept a prolific UNC offense to 131 yards total. On offense Virginia Tech was physical and bruising rushing for 189 yards on a rain …

First off… at the moment it looks like the Miami vs Florida State game is still going to be played Saturday. Hurricane Matthew appears it will miss South Florida. For everyone else in Central Florida, North Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina coastlines please stay safe out there. Since a game looks like it will be …

The ACC ADs voted to keep the current 8 + 1 scheduling format in a bit of surprise as reported by ESPN and the DailyPress’s David Teel. Most felt the ACC would either go to the 9 conference games + 1 Power 5 Opponent or the 8 + 2 model. According Brett McMurphy the ACC even …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. College football, to be sure, is in full swing in the ACC and here at All Sports Discussion. However, men’s college basketball is right around the corner. Rob Dauster, lead college basketball writer at College Basketball Talk on NBC Sports, wrote about seven Final Four sleepers. You …

Paul Johnson make some very pointed comments Tuesday about Georgia Tech’s apparent lack of commitment to winning football. The entire article is at yahoo.com. Here’s my take on what was said.

Clemson and Louisville played an instant classic on Saturday night. While Saturday’s loss to Clemson did put a dent in Louisville’s playoff hopes, it did not end the Cardinals chances of reaching college football’s promised land. The Cardinals are still ranked 7th in the AP Poll and 8th in the Coaches Poll. We know those …

How often do big games live up to the hype – 25% of the time 50% of the time? It’s hard to say, but one game lived up to the pre-game hype. Clemson vs Louisville was everything we thought it could and more. If these aren’t 2 of the 5 or 6 best teams in …
