Author : college football/basketball writer @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . Do yourself a favor and give him a follow on twitter. This was painfully familiar to North Carolina State fans. They have lived through this broken record, this old and sad movie, this Groundhog Day nightmare, far too many times. It isn’t getting old. It got old a long time ago. …

Our Eliminator is back in Week 2, whittling down the smaller-conference teams, and dealing with a Pac 12 on the brink of collapse. The Pac 12 has gone a staggering 12-12 in nonconference play so far. For a conference that begins behind the eight-ball due to structural disadvantages in scheduling, that’s an unacceptable number of …

Ok, I’ll be the first to admit Tennessee football has been pretty irrelevant for the better part of the last 20 years. Pittsburgh went to Knoxville as a slight favorite. When your the ACC at the moment though for the last 14 months, there are no power 5 OOC wins – None, zero, nada – …

Quick post here. Kudos to North Carolina, my Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) college of the week. This is an outstanding promotion from North Carolina. We’re excited to partner with @UNCHealthyHeels to offer Covid-19 vaccines before Saturday’s game in Kenan + free tickets to a future @UNCFootball game for those who do! ℹ️ » https://t.co/VK8XwUCBtx#GoHeels …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Be prepared for a rant. It is 2021 and the ACC is stuck with an extremely trashy television deal. Yes, there is an ACC Network, but it seems to me that ESPN needs sort of a wild card TV time slot (For what it’s worth, I’m sure …

DURHAM – Duke football needed something to jump start its home opener. Heck, Blue Devils needed a jump start to their season against a second straight pesky non-Power 5 opponent. First there was an onside kick that the quarterback Gunnar Holmberg converted into a second straight touchdown drive for a 14-7 lead. The recovery and …

In a year where who will the ACC’s biggest challenger to Clemson is a clear question, why not NC State? Miami highly ranked has spent that last year, getting plastered by every good team they played. North Carolina had an opportunity in Blacksburg in week 1, and promptly face-planted at Virginia Tech. The Hokies certainly …

DURHAM — In July, The Athletic posted a story praising UCLA football – and rightly so — for scheduling future games with two HBCU schools, Alabama State in 2022 and North Carolina Central in 2023. The Bruins joined a trend of Power 5 schools sharing the wealth, but it’s nothing new at Duke. Blue Devils …

Remember this about Scott Satterfield, more than the fact that his Louisville team looked inept and impotent in a terrible season-opening game against Ole Miss on Labor Day night in Atlanta: He flirted with another job IN THE MIDDLE OF A BAD SEASON AT …

DURHAM – If Ben Frye played football like a modern-day college athlete, he’d be long gone from Duke. Instead, the graduate student is starting at defensive end in his fifth year at the school. In today’s world, the transfer portal redirects players – sometimes with snap decisions. Maybe they felt they weren’t getting enough playing …

lan Haller now occupies the seat behind the big desk as Michigan State’s new athletic director. Mel Tucker has the football team off to an impressive start. All of this allows Tom Izzo to focus on the upcoming basketball season. No need for the school to seek double duty from Izzo when the athletic department …

Florida State vs Notre Dame played a classic 41-38 OT game where the Irish came out on top. What a roller coaster of game, and here my five quick thoughts on what it means for Florida State. Florida State has a beast of a defensive lineman in Georgia transfer Jermaine Johnson. He was a disruptive …

College football’s Power 5 is a full-on misnomer. It formerly meant the Continental Divide between the Power 5 conferences – Big Ten, ACC, SEC, Big-12 and Pac-12 – and the Group of Five, the remainder of the Football Bowl Subdivision schools, AAC, Conference-USA, Mid-American, Mountain West and Sun Belt That’s no longer a definition.
