As I usually do I’ll write a quick impression of an ACC team after their bowl game. Maryland is technically still in the ACC for the moment. Basically I don’t have alot of thoughts on a program that is leaving the ACC. I’ve never liked the Edsall the hire. He’s not awful, but he won’t …

While I was watching Pitt play Thursday evening, I became aware of just how much football scarring Pittsburgh fans have. Even as the Panthers took the lead 27-20 over Bowling Green across my timeline rolled Pitt fan after Pitt fan expecting their beloved Panthers to blow the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl. I always root for …

There’s a narrative going around that Florida State’s schedule puts them at a disadvantage when they play the Auburn Tigers on January 6th. This is obviously a laughable reason to say Auburn will win the game. The Tigers may yet defeat the Seminoles, but that won’t be be why. One only has to look at …

Merry Christmas from AllSportsDiscussion.com! Need a little break from the Christmas festivities to catch up on a little downtime reading? How about articles from around the ACC Blogosphere?

A couple of teams really improved their NCAA stock this week. Let’s find out who… In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses outside the RPI top (100) is considered a bad loss, and outside the RPI (150) are even …

There are legitimate whispers that the ACC is considering realigning divisions. The big rage is creating a North/South Divisions. As I said back in June, this isn’t a slam dunk good idea. There are issues with North/South Divisions. There are issues with the current alignments. With 14 teams and Notre Dame filling in 4-6 games …

Let’s cut to the chance – @BCInterruption has a terrific blog post today on the future of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Personally, I am fine with the Coastal and the Atlantic Divisions the way they are. Here are your two divisions right now: In the ACC Coastal Division, member institutions include North Carolina, Duke, …

How about some articles from around the ACC Blogoshphere? Great work being done Syracuse NunesMagician. They started a campaign on their site to send Houston area kids to the Texas Bowl, where Sryacuse will play Minnesota. If you’re not going to your school’s bowl game, many schools have ways to donate tickets to military personal …

It’s never too early to begin looking at where your ACC team is regards to the NCAA tournament, especially as we near conference play. In fact a couple of teams have already played their opening conference teams. Several ACC teams have quality non-conference wins, which is what the committee looks at heavily. The ACC has …

If you are an ACC football coach and you can’t use the 2013 season to help you in recruiting nothing will. A team in the national game with Florida State. There’s a second ACC team in Clemson in a BCS game. 3 times this year, Gameday was at an ACC stadium. What more could John …

When January 6th, 2014 arrives, the Florida State Seminoles will be playing the Auburn Tigers for the National Championship. They will not be be playing the S-E-C.

They are playing the entire S-E-C. Tomahawknation has a hilarious take on the whole FSU vs S-E-C narrative. Look I believe there is something to FSU potentially stopping …
