Four ACC teams finished the regular season 6-6 (Boston College, Florida State, Miami, and UNC). These 6-6 seasons are the same on paper, but they aren’t the same for each fanbase. North Carolina’s 6-6 season started with a stirring win over South Carolina, Clemson’s closest game in two years, wins over rival Duke and NC …

Ever since a 21-20 win over North Carolina way back on September 28, Clemson spent the next 2 month devouring opponents. Yes the ACC is nothing special, but Clemson has the look and feel of a team that can a win championship. Today against a bad South Carolina team, but still one that went into …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesn’t 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 …

Monday night saw two ACC coaches (Virginia Tech’s Mike Young and Georgia Tech’s Josh Pastner) traveling in opposite directions. They started the season in somewhat similar fashion – looking for early season credibility. One has found it, while the other floundered. Let’s start with Virginia Tech’s Mike Young… Young was a 17 year head coach …

Death finally beat Hank Bullough. He passed away Sunday night at age 85, but the Michigan State Hall-of-Famer robbed death of at least another five years while recovering from health scares. Bullough, a national champion as both a player under Biggie Munn (1952) and assistant coach under Duffy Daugherty (1965 and 1966), suffered a major …

I think most us already had Scott Satterfield as the clear front-runner for the ACC COY. Wake Forest Dave Clawson was right there through the first half of the season, but has lost ground in the 2nd of the season and lost the head to head game with Satterfield and Louisville. Dabo Swinney is doing …

Georgia Tech’s season effectively finished on Thursday night with a 28-26 over win over NC State. Yes there is still UGA left, but the final score of that game will be irrelevant to this season. UGA is fighting to be a top 4 team, and GT is trying to win game number 4. If the …

Last night’s game was unacceptable for NC State. There are no other words to explain what happened in Atlanta last night. NC State likes to hang its hat on the ability to stop the run. Georgia Tech ran for 235 yards and averaged 6.5 yards per rush. Georgia Tech came into the game 103rd in …
