The leaves are starting to change. It’s the getting towards the end of September, and looking down the ACC schedule there aren’t many conferences that are going to catch the rest of the country’s attention… Not so this year. There are three things you need to make for a football conference people want to watch. …

For years everyone’s been saying, if the ACC wants to change their football perception they need to start winning big OOC games. Well how about playing 4 ranked SEC teams to start the season, be an underdog in all them and go 2-2, thanks to Clemson and Miami. Take a look deeper into the schedule …

To quote the great American wrestler Ric Flair “To be the man, you got to beat the man… Wooo!”  The SEC has been the top collegiate football conference for what seems like forever. They’ve earned it. 7 straight national titles, multiple top 20 teams each year. On and on… it actually can be a bit …

There have been a couple of things I’ve kept an eye on all year that are under the radar but bode well for the ACC’s future. One is football recruiting, where the ACC by most any measure is 2nd to the SEC in football this year. More than half the conference including Louisville is the …

What a unbelievable first week of college football! Clemson made a statement against Georgia, the good kind. Jameis Winston looks like the real deal at Florida State, and Virginia scored a quality non conference win over BYU. Nobody in the ACC lost to anybody they weren’t supposed to. It was a solid opening for the …

Sometimes changing the football perception of a conference isn’t just always about who you beat it’s also about who you don’t lose to. Conferences and their football prowess, it’s a narrative we hear all the time. Maybe it’s over blown, but if the last couple of years have taught us anything it matters with TV …

Let’s face it Clemson’s history gave them a lot of doubters. Brilliant performances followed up inexplicable and in some in cases humiliating losses. Things started to change last year when the Tigers only losses were to top 10 ten teams Florida State and South Carolina. The season ended with a confidence building win over SEC …

First off, really happy for my man @HokieSmash. He’s the only North Dakota State fan I know, and earlier in the week on our podcast he said NDSU could upset Kansas St.  Congrats sir! By the way anyone that schedules Boise St. or a top 10 FCS school is insane. Good FCS teams, are well coached …

So North Carolina got beat 27-10 to South Carolina. It wasn’t a particularly close game either. What I don’t understand is the gross generalizations that come from a game like this. The Tar Heels are awful, ACC football is awful. It’s more of the same year after year. Look this game doesn’t change anything about …
