While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesnt figure in to a committee members thought process. 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 …

Good evening all you ACC football fans. As a NC State fan, I came into this season with aspirations of 9 or if the cards fell right, a 10 win season. After the first 3 weeks NC State is 2-1, not a bad record, but not ideal. NC State lost to South Carolina because, South …

All I could think of as I was watching Clemson flatten Louisville was this team might be better than last year’s national championship team. That is bad news for the rest of the ACC and the rest of the country. Clemson was Louisville’s Super Bowl this year. It was their biggest home game of the …

Duke played a sloppy game today against a bad Baylor team. They won 34-20, and moved to 3-0. Daniel Jones made some uncharacteristic mistakes at QB, and the secondary gave up a couple long TD passes. You never really felt Baylor would win the game though. A win is a win. They took care of …

Oklahoma State was going to blow out Pittsburgh Saturday no matter what. The Cowboys are a playoff threat, and Pittsburgh even before today’s game looked at best like a fringe bowl team. Saturday turned into a highlight reel for Oklahoma State, where they could have scored 80 if they desired. It got so bad that …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. We rarely talk about Clay Travis on this site (only when he gets owned by Richard Deitsch or when he says stupid crap about how a college team is better than a pro team). We generally don’t talk about Clay Travis because there are people out there that …

Quick tell me how many ACC vs ACC Matchups have been ESPN Gameday Matchups the last 10 years that weren’t Florida State vs Miami ( A historically great rivalry ) or Florida State vs Clemson ( the best college football rivalry of the last 5 years )? October 3, 2009 – Florida State vs Boston …

It’s become a yearly tradition here on the blog. We get a good laugh at how inaccurate ESPN’s FPI is as predictor and actual rankings system. We laughed in 2015 and we laughed in 2016. Let’s laugh again in 2017, as Ohio State who I’d personally ranked around 12 or 13, are the number 1 team …

Winners Clemson – They look like they could reach the playoffs again. The defense looks like the country’s best and they totally stuffed Auburn Saturday night. The front 4 is scary good. Duke – This is a team to watch. Duke routed a pretty decent Northwestern team 41-17. Daniel Jones continues to get better and …

The year after Deshaun Watson left Clemson, we wondered if the Tigers were capable of reaching the playoffs again. After Clemson’s suffocating win over Auburn, we can safely say they are capable of reaching the playoffs. It all starts with the Tigers defense which features the country’s best front four. This is what I predicted …

Well this has certainly taken a turn for the worst (no pun intended). As I type, a powerful Cat. 4 Hurricane Irma is barreling it’s way towards Florida, strengthening as it churns. At this stage: impact is imminent, it’s just a matter of the severity. Already speculated to be far worse than anything Hurricane Andrew …
