14. Wake Forest (4-7, 1-6) Last Week – 11 The season has gone off the rails for Wake Forest losers of 7 of their last 8 games. They can spoil Syracuses bowl chances in their last game of the season. 13. Syracuse (5-6, 1-6) Last Week – 13 Syracuse showed life at Georgia Tech, but …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports. We previously argued that Michigan should absolutely not be in the College Football Playoff rankings with the schedule it it has (and ESPN’s Dan Mullen finally came around to our point of view). We also said that Michigan didn’t really get a test until it played Penn State …

Saturday Florida State’s QB Jordan Travis suffered what looked like a season-ending injury. Travis is one of those players every college football fan roots for. He worked hard, paid his dues, and was just a model student athlete. I said multiple times I thought he was the ACC’s best most valuable player. How do you …

As my podcast partner, @ASD_Hokiesmash said today – Louisville “met the moment” at Miami. They did and they clinched an appearance in the ACC Championship game. Another team “met the moment”  today. Georgia Tech didn’t quite have the national stakes on the line that Louisville did, but for a rebuilding program, it was still a hugely …

Louisville went into their game with Miami 9-1, and without question were the ACC’s number 2 team. They still weren’t a lock to be Florida State’s opponent though in the ACCG. They had to win at Miami to clinch their birth in the ACC Championship game. The Canes are a talented, but erratic team – …

Last Thursday night Perris Jones suffered a very scary-looking injury in Virginia’s game against Louisville. His road to recovery will be long, but he avoided the worst outcome, which is good news. If you’d like to send well wishes to Perris, Virginia football tells you how. Virginia Football Update on Perris Jones ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/jaTPZdOrF1 — …

ACC Journalist Brett Friedlander put together a couple of pieces rankings the ACC best transfers on offense and defense.

We ask the three biggest ACC football question marks of that week. Here we go for Week 12. Who gets bowl-eligible Syracuse or Georgia Tech?  Georgia Tech’s defense is giving up 224 yards a game on the ground. Syracuse just ran for nearly 400 on Pittsburgh. Georgia Tech has one of the worst defenses in …

14. Pittsburgh (2-8, 1-6) Last Week – 14 Pittsburgh went ahead and put a stranglehold on being the ACC’s worst team in early November by giving up nearly 400 yards rushing to a Syracuse team that had a TE playing QB at times. Now they they host Boston College this week. 13. Syracuse (5-5, 1-5) …

We’ll be adding NET and RPI rankings when those computer numbers have more data points. 15. Louisville (1-1, 0-0) NET/RPI – NA Last Week – N/A Louisville assumes their customary spot at the bottom ACC Basketball rankings with a 1 point win over UMBC and a 10 point home loss to Chattanooga. 14.  Notre Dame …

Georgia Tech on Saturday was overwhelmed, overmatched, and just outplayed by Clemson in an ugly 42-21 loss. That said as a 14-point underdog even if the Jackets had played better, it was unlikely that they were going to knock off a surging Clemson that’s finally playing like many predicted in the pre-season. The Yellow Jackets …

I kind of have a rule when I post articles about ACC football games. I don’t write articles about games unless I’ve watched at least half of them. I like to see the game flow, and how teams respond in certain situations. I’m breaking that rule for NC State after their 26-6 win over Wake …

Two weeks ago Clemson sat 4-4 with a top-15 Notre Dame coming to town. There was serious talk of Clemson missing a bowl game. Since then Clemson beat Notre Dame 31-23 down multiple starters, and then thumped Georgia Tech in a not as close as the score indicates 42-21 game. Where Dabo Swinney was criticized …
