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 …

Just a short post for tonight, but did you see this article from CBSSports? College Football attendance has it’s biggest drop in 34 years. This is bad for the sport as many schools derive a lot of their athletic revenue from their football ticket sales. I think the biggest reason attendance has dropped is not …

I just talked about what I like about the ACC Football schedule. Here is what I don’t like… 1) Front Loaded non-conference games In the last 4 years the ACC has dominated their SEC rivals to the tune of a 13-3 record. That doesn’t mean I have to like the practice of scheduling a conference game …

Virginia Tech was on the NCAA bubble coming into their game tonight against the Virginia Cavaliers. At 17-7 (6-5), but lacking a top 30 win the Hokies needed a signature victory. They got one Saturday night by knocking off #2 ranked Virginia in Charlottsville no less. Gameday was there, and after Villanova went down to St. …

Last month the Syracuse Orange took their first ACC road trip of the season to Wake Forest. The Demon Deacons weren’t gracious hosts, as Syracuse left Winston-Salem, N.C. with a 73-67 loss. This Sunday, the Orange looks to return the favor as the Deacons visit the Carrier Dome for a 1p.m. contest. Syracuse (16-8, 5-6 …

If you are a Virginia fan, don’t worry here. I’m not trying to make argument that anyone other Tony Bennett should be the ACC Coach of the Year. His record this season speaks for itself. The Hoos were the pre-season pick to finish 6th in the ACC, and were a fringe top 25 team at …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Even though it’s the evening of the Super Bowl, it’s basketball day here at @AllSportsDACC.
