Just when you think you have the ACC Bowl pictured figured out all kinds of surprising stuff happens over the weekend. The ACC could end up with 10 bowl eligible teams, so will every ACC team find a spot? Syracuse is the odd man out this week, but I believe they will end up somewhere. …

Friday we gave Georgia Tech a hard time asked what is wrong with Georgia Tech football? following their blowout loss to Clemson, but the Jacket fans are not alone in their frustration.

Twitter has had spirited debates the last 2 days about Georgia Tech football following a 55-31 loss to Clemson that dropped the Jackets to 6-4. Various folks @CFBMatrix @cfb_poindexter @cfn_ms @younglefhander @MattZemek_CFN weighed in on the matter. These are all people whose opinions I respect, but there wasn’t a consensus with what ails Georgia Tech …

This is a read submitted post from James Stephens. In my personal opinion unless Alabama or Florida State lose, they are on a collision course. Enjoy! ————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————- Over the last four seasons, it’s been Alabama against the rest of the NCAA and the Crimson Tide haven’t disappointed. Can anybody take down the Nick Saban Empire? …

Do you remember last year during expansionpalooza, a myth that was perpetuated on blogs, message boards, and even a handful of college football talking heads that an ACC team would be the lowest rated of any undefeated power 5 conference team? Some even said they would be behind the any 1 loss SEC team. The …

What a shakeup this week in the ACC bowl picture. Results within the ACC to go along with Oregon’s loss created the chaos. Throw out everything I had last week because the ACC bowl landscape is brand new. * The Kraft Fight Hunger could be a bowl destination if the ACC gets a 9th bowl …

Florida State is staring at a national title appearance squarely in the eye and might have this year’s Heisman trophy winner in Jameis Winston. Clemson is making a habit of beating top 10 SEC teams. Miami has their NCAA investigation behind them and is recruiting well to go along with a top 15 ranking. Louisville …

Let’s be clear on one thing. When I say ACC fans should get behind Florida State, I don’t mean jump on the bandwagon, and I don’t absolutely don’t mean should they win a BCS Title that’s it your title. This isn’t the SEC, where you win titles by proxy according to some of their fans. …

This week will could decide the bowl fate of Florida State. Of course anything is possible, but I think this is one of Oregon’s and Alabama’s last realistic shots at losing. Oregon is at Stanford and Alabama plays LSU. It’s not vintage a LSU team, but athletically they still matchup decently with the Tide. * …

As we begin the stretch run of the college football season, there are still several teams in play for the national championship. Only 2 control their own destiny, Alabama and Oregon. That means there’s the potential for some very good teams to get left out. A Florida State team that won 51-14 at #3 Clemson …
