This past week a 10 second wait time for defensive substitutions was proposed by the NCAA rules committee.    Two college football coaches Alabama’s Nick Saban and Arkansas’s Bret Bielema are leading the charge for rule change in the name of player safety.

Is ACC Basketball Way Down? No, but some programs have real work to do.

We’ve mentioned from time to time here, that criticisms of ACC basketball have become an exaggerated popular narrative this basketball season. The facts are this. It is not vintage ACC basketball. From top to bottom it’s not as strong as the Big 12 or Big 10. The ACC currently sits 5th in conference RPI. That’s …

ACC Bubble Analysis for February 9, 2014

The ACC is so down they have 9 teams in the top 75 of the RPI. 3 of the top 6 the KenPom.com rankings, and 7 in the top 50. Does that sound like a disappointing basketball conference? No of course not… I’d take the ACC’s top 8 or 9 teams against any in the …

The best and worst rivalries of the post-realignment era.

One of the most disappointing parts of the realignment era (2010-2012) was the loss of some great traditional rivalries. There would be no more Texas vs Texas A&M football games, no more Oklahoma vs Nebraska football games, Syracuse and Georgetown would never play basketball again as conference rivals. So it went with conference realignment. With …

One of my sources from inside the ACC sent this to me today. With Syracuse replacing Arizona as the Number 1 team in the country the ACC completed the rare tri-fecta of having the number 1 team in all 3 major sports. Florida State is the #1 Football Team, Syracuse is the #1 Basketball Team, …

ACC Bubble Analysis for February 2, 2014

I’m calling this past week moving week for the ACC bubble. A couple of team made huge strides toward the NCAA’s while others suffered devastating losses. Syracuse and Duke played a classic, and I can’t wait for that rematch. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI …

Syracuse 91 Duke 89 OT : The birth of a great ACC rivalry.
