The Good Lesson Learned Florida State was on the road late against an inferior opponent and struggling. We’d seen this story before against NC State, when Florida State inexplicably lost 17-16 in Raleigh. Now they were in Blacksburg blowing another double digit second half. The only difference is that FSU bent and bent, but didn’t …

Since we’re all filling out ballots and voting today, I’ve got a poll you can vote on. There’s a little less at stake here than choosing the leader of the free world, but hey I think the results will still be interesting. Last Thursday the Miami Hurricanes indicated there was a possibility they may self-impose …

In this really so difficult? On and on debate and after debate. Complicated computer algorithms that don’t seem to make any sense. In about 45 minutes I came up with my own computer rankings, that you could argue are as accurate as computer poll we use. It may even need a little tweaking, but remember …

The Good No Clemsoning in 2012 The inexplicable road loss won’t be happening for Clemson this year. This offense is putting up points like pinball machine, and is getting better and better each week. They are getting up early on opponents like tonight leading Duke 42-17 at the half before winning 56-20. Ok Easy prediction, …

Just a short post tonight after watching Miami’s 30-12 victory over Virginia Tech. Quick name a can’t playmaker on Virginia Tech’s team? Can’t name one? Neither can I. QB Logan Thomas has some raw ability, but is inconsistent at best. RB J.C Coleman has some speed, but is not a game changer. The Hokies stand at 4-5 …

The latest BCS scenarios have Florida State at 9. Now in all likelihood Florida State will end up in the Orange Bowl, but  I’m calling this fantasy scenario but with a twist of realism, where FSU gets in the national title game. Chances are really slim I know that, but lets see what has to …

The Good Carry the Banner There are 2 good football teams in the ACC. Florida State (8-1, 4-1) and Clemson (7-1, 4-1) are so far way the best teams in the ACC it isn’t even close. Yes I know NC State tripped up FSU at home, but the Wolfpack have proven themselves incapable of taking …

I saw this discussion on my twitter timeline @TalkinACCSports since expansion which ACC division was the worst top to bottom? It seems the comparison was between the 2006 Atlantic and this year’s ACC Coastal. So I checked the the ACC year by year since expansion… This goes back to 2005 and frankly I’m not even sure it’s close. …

I’m a little short on time this week… but here’s a little something from the ACCDN on NC State’s recent surge. Enjoy!
