Welcome to the first edition of this year’s CFP Eliminator. I would like to once again thank my friends here at All Sports Discussion for hosting it. The goal is simple: We are going to count down every single FBS team that remains in contention for a College Football Playoff bid. We start with all …

This will be short and sweet. It’s over. It’s been over for a long time. Geoff Collins needs to go. Not later this week, not next month, not at the end of the year, but right now. One of the worst Power 5 hires in the last 25 years, he has literally been stealing from …

While Geoff Collins and Scott Satterfield show us how to NOT get off the hot seat in the early part of the season, Mike Norvell and now Syracuse’s Dino Babers are coaching themselves off of it. Syracuse won a last-second game over a pretty good Purdue team to start the season 3-0 and be one …

Florida State probably should not have come out of Louisville with a win. QB Jordan Travis got, DL Jared Verse got hurt, and they trailed at the half 21-14. Then they fell behind in the 2nd half 21-28 and 28-31. On the road, injuries mounting and trailing multiple times in the 2nd half. In the …

ACCPerscription has posted Disney’s Advertising link for the ACC Network. In general, I think this is good, that Disney and ESPN are really working on things with the ACC, but are we missing a bigger announcement? Clemson DJ Uiagalelei graded well against Furman, but how much does it mean? RubbingtheRock has its take. StateoftheU lists …

ACC Team of the Week : Duke – for a 31-23 win over Northwestern 14. Georgia Tech (1-1) Last Week : 14 Georgia Tech should be glad they got by Western Carolina 35-17 in a sloppy effort. There may not be another win on the schedule, though I think they find a way to win 1 …

Will NC State finally get that OOC victory that people pay attention to? For all the good work Dave Doeren and NC State have done over the last few years save the Covid 2020 season, they still haven’t won that OOC game under Doeren that caught people’s attention. There was the win over Notre Dame …

The ACC started the year with 5 teams ranked in the top 25, and two weeks later there are still 5 ranked teams (Clemson, NC State, Miami, Wake Forest, and Pittsburgh). Florida State and North Carolina are in the receiving votes category. The ACC desperately needed a respectable beginning to the football season. There have …

Wake Forest went up to Nashville and faced what some considered an improved Vanderbilt team. With Sam Hartman back, Wake Forest shut that down with an easy 45-25 over the Commondores. How did Wake Forest twitter to the return of Sam Hartman, and the comfortable victory? I don’t really want to hear “good win over …

Duke came into the season considered one of the two worst teams in the ACC. There were even whispers they could have a 1 win season. That’s all history now as Mike Elko took exactly one off-season and two games to make Duke look as good as they have in about 5 years. After a …

Louisville and Scott Satterfield were toast if they lost at UCF Friday. They opened the season with a listless performance at Syracuse, then headed to a tricky road game at UCF where they were underdogs, before facing the improved Florida State Seminoles. They were staring at an 0-3 start right in the face. Scott Satterfield’s …

ACCPerscription has their take on ESPN saying they have every “incentive” to help ACC revenues. Tomahawknation says Florida State made a statement beating LSU. I would say so. BloggerSoDear is ecstatic with the return of Sam Hartman and details that here. The exciting, but defensively challenged UNC TarHeels get their next game against Georgia State …

Who’s season will be over before it starts (Virginia Tech, Boston College, Louisville)? There were three stunningly bad performances in the ACC last week. Virginia Tech in an embarrassing loss to Old Dominion. Boston College fell apart late against Rutgers. Louisville didn’t even bother to show up at Syracuse. An 0-2 start for any of …

As a conference, the ACC drew a ton of attention this past weekend. ACC journalist Lauren Brownlow made this comment. And the haters that say the ACC shouldn’t get big TV money are missing the appeal which is THE ABSOLUTELY INSANITY AND SILLINESS. Sometimes good and sometimes bad but it always makes you laugh and …
