I’ve refrained from discussing the Jameis Winston story either on here or on twitter until the investigation reached it’s end.

More bowl chaos… Yes! That’s what makes college football so great. The ACC has 11 bowl eligible teams. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are the odd teams out for the ACC’s designated bowl slots, but most projections I’ve seen have them somewhere.

It’s a rivalry week in College Football. That means Florida State vs Florida, Clemson vs South Carolina, Georgia vs Georgia Tech, Duke vs North Carolina, and Virginia Tech vs Virginia.
