Here’s a quick Friday night thought… Following Notre Dame’s loss to Clemson, the Irish’s playoff hopes took a big hit. When USC went down at home to Washington 17-12 Thursday night, it put the playoff hopes of the Irish on life support. Even if Notre Dame runs the schedule, they won’t face another ranked team …

For anyone under the age of 30, you may not know it, but Florida State\Miami was the college football’s game of the year. It was always a big game, but starting in the late 80s with the ascension of both Miami and Florida State programs, this became the country’s top rivalry for nearly 20 years. …

Even ACC fans have to admit, the conference has been a no show on the national stage this year. Every opportunity the ACC had to get a signature win fell flat on it’s face. You could argue that the conference’s best performances were in a 10 point loss to LSU by Syracuse, and a 9 …

This is @Res4Six‘s most recent posting. Enjoy! The 2015 Florida State University football team has yet to find its identity, after Saturday’s game against Wake Forrest in Winston-Salem, this will most likely remain the case.

Friday night Virginia Cavalier football hit rock bottom. A humiliating 56-14 loss was handed to Virginia by Boise State, but it didn’t have to be that way. Head coach Mike London deserves plenty of blame for winning only 12 games in the last 3 1/2 seasons, but his school did him no favors. Since 2012, …
