Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. Just a brief post here. As many of you all know, Virginia Tech’s first football game was this past weekend vs. North Carolina State University. Virginia Tech won that game pretty handily by the score of 45-24 (and in my opinion, let off the gas a …

It was obvious when they started playing two weeks ago that there were potential pitfalls for the Big 12. With a disastrous Week 1 that saw bad losses from three teams in the conference, plus a near-loss by Texas Tech to a bad FCS team, the conference could little afford upsets during the season–especially if …

Remember after NC State’s first game, when they had just rushed for 270 yards and put up 45 points? When Bailey Hockman looked like a QB in complete control of an offense that looked really good? Remember when the offensive line moved a pretty decent Wake Forest defensive front? Remember the hope for the season …

As I mentioned last week, this is a strange year for the Eliminator. It’s a strange year for everything, sure, but the Eliminator is no exception. Usually we see plenty of eliminations each week at this point in the season since Group of 5 teams are playing their nonconference games. This year, though, most Power …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing Pat Narduzzi and Pitt have always teased Panther fans. We said this about Pitt and we looked at their best/worse case season scenario for 2020. Each year they seem produce at least one high quality win – 2016 #3 Clemson, 2017 #2 Miami, 2018 #23 Virginia, and 2019 #15 UCF. …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing National Media darlings following an upset win at Florida State, Georgia Tech and Geoff Collins were winning national awards, Collins was getting interviewed and life was good for the Jackets. Two weeks later, and it’s evident that win may have been more smoke and mirrors than real substance. Blowout losses …

Thursday the Pac 12 agreed to to play football again this fall. The Pac-12 will play fall football after all, targeting a Nov. 6 start, a seven-game season, and a Dec. 18 title game https://t.co/wPyc0skc7S pic.twitter.com/AudxYx3iDc — Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) September 25, 2020 That’s great.

James and Lulu Hunter call their son J.B. “the softie of the family.” Their term of affection is understandable only if you recognize they’re retired non-commissioned Marines. They embraced the Corps’ creed as the military’s toughest branch. J.B., though, certainly doesn’t look like a “softie” on first impression. He’s Army football’s third-year starting right tackle, …

We’ve been wondering how much the ACC Network is going to payout to the conference. ACCPrescription has the first estimate of this number I’ve seen. RubbingtheRock says Trevor Lawrence is locked in and that should scare everyone. Manny Diaz says Miami was not satisfied with their performance against Louisville. Miami looked awfully good to me …

Eliminating Power Five teams early in the season is always a question for me. Sure, it’s a mostly irrelevant question–we’re usually pretty sure which P5 teams won’t be winning out. Still, my principle here at the Eliminator remains the same: losses will come when they come, and I have no need to assume them. I …
