While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesn’t figure in to a committee members thought process. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – your most recent  OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference that …

The Orange Bowl will select the highest ranked non-playoff ACC Team. Clemson (10-0, 7-0) We’ve said it for weeks now. Clemson has to lose a game to end up in the Orange Bowl. Lose a game? I’m not sure anyone stays within 3 TDs of the Tigers until maybe the playoffs. Wake Forest (7-2, 3-2) …

Virginia Tech on September 27 sat 2-2 after a humiliating 45-10 home loss to Duke. Justin Fuente seat was getting warm, and some wondered if Bud Foster had lost his touch. The Hokies looked like one of the ACC’s worst teams, and that’s saying a lot in this year’s ACC. A hopeful bounceback year was …

The Orange Bowl will select the highest ranked non-playoff ACC Team. Clemson (9-0, 6-0) Just avoid a loss, and Clemson will not be going to the Orange Bowl. Believe me they have no interest in that game. They have their sights on bigger prizes. This week they face NC State. Wake Forest (7-1, 6-1) Here’s …

The Orange Bowl will select the highest ranked non-playoff ACC Team. Clemson (8-0, 6-0) I can’t imagine Clemson losing a game prior to the playoffs. They treated Boston College like an organized scrimmage. The Tigers are hitting their playoff stride, and only a complete catastrophic meltdown game would land them in the Orange Bowl. Wake …

What is wrong with Clemson? What is wrong with Clemson? That’s all we’ve heard from national media types since Clemson’s 52-14 win over Georgia Tech during the opening week. It’s gotten stale, it is lazy journalism, and could directly affect where Clemson gets ranked when the playoff rankings come out in  a couple of weeks. …

A week ago when Virginia and Wake Forest went down to defeat, we wondered if anyone in the ACC wanted to go the Orange Bowl. They rebounded this week with victories, and are now part of the ACC chase for the Orange Bowl. Let’s look a them and the other Orange Bowl contenders. The Orange …
