I’ve tepidly defended Kenny Payne early this season as Louisville seemed improved. Well, it was hard not to be better than last year’s nightmarish historically awful season,  where the Cardinals were the worst ACC basketball team of the last quarter century.  So this year there were flashes of being a functional team. Against Texas, Louisville …

So how do these ACC Bowls look. Who do we think is going, and who end the season with some momentum or not? Boca Raton Bowl, Dec. 21 Syracuse vs. South Florida, 8 p.m. I think Syracuse physically overwhelms South Florida with their run game. Syracuse 24 South Florida 17 Gasparilla Bowl, Dec. 22 Georgia …

Good morning, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Last night, I caught Nothing But Net, which is the ACC Network’s college basketball preview and postgame show.  The show features Kelsey Riggs and Luke Hancock (many of our Louisville readers really love Hancock), but the show boasts a new in-game studio analyst in hall of fame …

The FSU playoff snub while met with shock, bewilderment, and criticism of a playoff committee that lost credibility in most circles, on ESPN their media personalities ripped FSU at every opportunity, some laughed at their exclusion, and many others clearly went against the very nature of what sports is. Some even alluded that FSU never …

We’ll be adding NET and RPI rankings when those computer numbers have more data points. 15.  Notre Dame (3-4, 0-1) NET/RPI – NA I haven’t seen anything from Notre Dame that says they’ll be factor in this year’s ACC. Last Week – 14 14. Louisville (4-4, 0-1) NET/RPI – NA Last Week – 15 Louisville …

The college football playoff decision made their 4 playoff team choices today – Michigan, Washington, Texas, and Alabama. It was a decision so stunning and absurd, that I didn’t even consider it a real possibility. This decision marks the official end of college football as a results-driven sport. It is now based on money, conference …

If you’re still holding to the absurd notion that Florida State isn’t a playoff team, I really don’t know what to tell you. With a 3rd string true freshman QB Brock Glenn the Noles offense struggled. That is without question, but playoff-caliber teams find ways to win. That is what Florida State did against a …

On November 22, Georgia Tech lost by 35 points to Cincinnati. This was following an ugly 3-point loss to UMass-Lowell.
