Clemson had been playing with fire all year. They could have lost at Auburn. Troy could have beat them. Louisville was 3 yards shorting of beating Clemson. NC State should have beat them.

You hear it so often, and it sounds so cliche – Team A is better than it’s record. With the Duke Blue Devils, this is actually true. Duke was a team that was better than it’s 3-6, 0-4 record. If you had seen them play in recent weeks, you knew it. There was 10 point …

For a program with the recent success of FSU, 2016 was going to become a truly lost season. There will be no playoffs, no conference titles, and no Big 6 bowl games. Down 10 in the 2nd half to NC State, the Noles season was about to enter trainwreck status. A 5-4 Florida State team, …

Lamar Jackson was still the Heisman front runner, but Michigan’s Jabril Peppers was starting to gain ground in some circles. Louisville was …

Florida State blog Tomahawknation tell us.  As …
