This week’s ACC power rankings saw plenty of shakeups after some wild and unexpected results in Week Five. That probably means they are very, very, very wrong and will be proven as such in Week Six. Nonetheless, I’m here to bring them to you, so here they are! 1. Clemson – Hey, Twitter, you know …

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. …

No one would argue that it wouldn’t be better if Notre Dame wasn’t a full ACC football member, but the past weekend proved just how valuable the 5 game scheduling agreement is with Notre Dame and the ACC. Prior to the game Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports called the ACC/Notre Dame genius. The Television …

Ok ACC bloggers what’s happening out there? Clemson had a statement win Saturday against top 10 ranked Notre Dame. It was by far the biggest win by any ACC team this year. Clemson blog RubbingtheRock says Clemson now controls their path to the playoff. If Clemson runs the table they are in the playoff… period. …

Another week and hats off to Clemson on their big win in Death Valley. They definitely proved a lot of folks wrong in pulling out a close win against Notre Dame. 1) The Hokies Played Like Hyde Keeping the Jekyll & Hyde theme going, the Hokies were like Hyde last week, losing another game, this …

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 …

To say that Miami’s fans were ready to turn on head Al Golden is an understatement. The fire Al Golden banners have everywhere and they even made it the Hurricane’s Thursday night road game with Cincinnati (shown above) despite a 3-0 start, but the Canes had a chance to give their fans hope. Win at …

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.

Let’s be honest it hasn’t been the strongest start to the season for the ACC. The conference is just 3-10 against the rest of the Power 5 and Notre Dame. Louisville proved it wasn’t ready for prime time losing to Auburn, then stumbling against Houston. Virginia Tech looks no closer to returning to it’s glory …

A month into the ACC Football season and its a sight to see how far the mighty have fallen. It started Friday where we learned our first point: 1) UVA is in dire need of a fresh start. And that’s no shade to Mike London, Cavalier fans, but a 56-14 drubbing by a non Power …
