ACC Bubble Analysis for January 19, 2017
This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses …

What could be the future benefits for the ACC after its remarkable 2016 football season?
We’ve already written a couple of articles on the ACC’s remarkable football season, led by the Clemson’s national title. The ACC was the nation’s best football conference this year.

Is Louisville football in 2016, where Clemson was in 2011?
In a football season that was historically great for the ACC, Louisville was one of the few ACC teams that ended the season on sour note. Louisville was at one time a legitimate playoff contender, to losing their final 3 games. Cardinal QB Lamar Jackson winning the Heisman was a definite year ending highlight, but …

Can the ACC remain college football’s top conference beyond 2016?
The ACC’s remarkable football season left it the undisputed king college football in 2016. When a noted SEC media member like @finebaum admits ACC Football was college football’s best. Well it’s hard to argue that. Never thought I’d see this happen. Here’s a video of @finebaum saying the #ACC is the best conference in CFB. pic.twitter.com/W2dJLvHXfc …

Former Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips knew Dabo Swinney could be a great coach.
I’ve been wondering what to write about Clemson after their national title. As I was thinking about what Clemson just accomplished, I was trying to comprehend just how it happened.
