ACC Team of the Week : Florida State – for a 45-38 win over Florida 14. Virginia  (3-7) Last Week: 13 Virginia’s last two games were canceled. 13. Virginia Tech (3-8) Last Week: 13 Virginia Tech’s last game was game cancelled. 12. Boston College (3-9) Last Week: 12 Boston College blew a winnable game with Syracuse. …

Is Florida State really the ACC’s best team?  Yes – at this point, I’d question if you’ve watched football in the last month if you don’t think so. UNC has lost its continuity on offense, and the defense has had holes all year. Clemson’s offense is barely worth discussing, and their defense has underwhelmed. Florida …

There is a lot of noise about Tulane HC Willie Fritz and his candidacy as Georgia Tech Head Coach. Some sites report this as a near-done deal. Nobody has reported it as official. You know how that works. If it is not officially confirmed, it’s not final. If it is not final, the search is …

What Mike Elko did at Duke this year was simply astonishing, as he coached Duke to an 8-4 regular season. He’s your slam dunk ACC COY. FSU’s Mike Norvell is the only other ACC coach that should be mentioned in the same sentence as Elko. As other coaches like Dino Babers and Mack Brown made …

The DJ Uiagelelei experiment at Clemson has failed. Saturday’s dismal effort by Clemson against South Carolina cemented this conclusion. Dabo Swinney loyal to a fault hitched his ride to DJ Uiagelelei, and it’s now cost him the end of the Clemson dynasty, the end of Clemson’s ACC Multi-year Title run, the longest home winning streak …

This is just a quick post for tonight, as I have an early wake up. Congrats to Florida State for defeating Florida 45-38. QB Jordan Travis was spectacular as he willed the Noles to victory. Mike Norvell is building. He is definitely building something in Tallahassee. FSU students taking to the field to celebrate with …

NC State had such high expectations coming into the season. Through bad luck, injuries, and poor play the Wolfpack went into their instate rivalry game with UNC 7-4. A 5-loss regular season would have been bitterly disappointing especially with arch-rival North Carolina just a week ago being 9-1 and your Coastal Division Champion. The Wolfpack …

ACC Team of the Week : Georgia Tech – for a 21-17 win over North Carolina 14. Virginia  (3-7) Last Week: 13 It was not the way the season was supposed to end for Virginia. 13. Virginia Tech (3-8) Last Week: 14 Virginia Tech’s win over Liberty didn’t gain as much attention as it should. Virginia …

It seems Georgia Tech’s football head coaching is down to two guys that have split the Jacket fanbase Coastal Carolina’s Jamey Chadwell and interim coach Brent Key. Honestly, I’m completely on the fence here, so lets have a little tale of the tape. Jamey Chadwell  Pros  Navigated Coastal Carolina as they became a FBS school. …

Can the ACC win the ACC/SEC Rivalry week?  Yes the ACC can certainly win it this year. Florida State will be a fairly heavy favorite against Florida. Georgia Tech will be a huge underdog against Georgia. Clemson will be favored against South Carolina, but that’s no gimme given the Gamecock’s recent thrashing of Tennessee. Louisville …

The Clemson Tigers received a gift Saturday from an unlikely source. The South Carolina Gamecocks just gave Clemson a path to the playoffs, with an out-of-nowhere beatdown of the Tennessee Volunteers. This completely eliminates the Vols from playoff consideration. Now I’m not arguing that Clemson is a playoff-caliber team. I can’t say that until I …
