The ACC’s three biggest questions of week 8.
Is Georgia Tech a Coastal Contender if they beat Virginia? Georgia Tech already has a win at Pittsburgh and defeated Duke. What if they beat Virginia on Thursday to get to 4-3 (3-1) in Coastal? Can they be considered a true contender for the division? I think you have to say yes. North Carolina is …

ACC Coastal Mid-Season Grades
North Carolina (6-1) – A Say what you want about UNC. They are lucky, they have no defense, etc etc. The fact is they are 6-1 and nobody expected them to be at this point. Drake Maye has been outstanding at QB, and Josh Downs is the best WR in the conference. Last year they …

The Eliminator is running into a bit of a problem. We still have a fair list of contenders–29 teams remaining, and a dozen of the most serious contenders–but those serious contenders are somewhat concentrated in a few divisions. We are on the verge of seeing chaos come about if we get one–let alone two–upsets in …

Clemson can still improve, but keeps winning.
Clemson beat Florida State 34-28 in a not as close as the score indicated game. At no point during the 2nd half did it feel like FSU could actually the win game except for a moment during the onsides kick. Clemson went up 34-14, then cruised a little too early. That said the Tigers are …

The ACC’s three biggest questions of week 7.
Will Syracuse prove they are for real against NC State? Syracuse has been pointing to the NC State game for weeks. NC State’s Devin Leary is banged up, and Syracuse is one of the ACC’s biggest surprises. Should the Orange win they might get to the fringe of the top 10 which would have been …

Know who should coach Georgia Tech in 2023? The current coach
I have a great idea for the next head coach of Georgia Tech football: The guy who is currently coaching the Yellow Jackets. Let’s not try to overcomplicate this: Geoff Collins was a terrible football coach. He was incompetent. He couldn’t tie his shoelaces. He took over the special teams and the special teams were …

Week 6 CFP Eliminator: Let’s Talk about Auburn
We have the most eliminations of any week so far this year, as we say goodbye to 15 teams’ Playoff chances after Week 6. Eliminations should slow as we remain at the top contenders, but it would not surprise me if we stagnate at a final 15 or so for most of November. Of course, …
