Maryland is history… It’ll be weird. I grew up with the Terps in the ACC, but this is modern landscape of college athletics… I admire the Terp fans who in large part openly opposed the move. I would as well as a Clemson and Georgia Tech fan. Ok the ACC can sit around feeling sorry …

A rare double post day for me! We’ll go with College Football News’s prediction on the Military Bowl, since it doesn’t look like the ACC will get 8 bowl eligible teams. Military Washington, DC RFK Stadium Dec. 27, 3:00 pm, ESPN Army vs. ACC No. 8 Projection: Bowling Green* vs. San Jose St* *Army and ACC not projected …

Remember when we spent all summer pouring over TV contracts, football programs won/loss records, bowl games and playoff scenarios? These were the factors driving conference expansion. Well throw it out the window. In one crazy weekend that might land Maryland in a new conference, the Big 10 may have changed the model for expansion. Forget …

The Good 2 ACC BCS Teams again? Clemson moved to 10-1 today with a 14 point win over NC State. Florida State routed Maryland 41-14 in a game that wasn’t that close. It’s very possible that the ACC could get 2 BCS teams for the 2nd straight year. In fact if Clemson beats South Carolina, …

This past week the ACC finalized their deal with Orange Bowl and ESPN, and there was little more nervousness in ACC Circles that maybe the ACC didn’t get a good deal because they are splitting the $55 Million TV deal evenly with the Big 10 and SEC in years those conferences are in the Bowl. While I …

2 Weeks left in the regular season, and we have ACC teams fighting for bowl and BCS positions… A little busy this week, but I finally got some time to check out the ACC bloggers. What do the bloggers have going on this week? ShakintheSouthland looks at what’s at stake the next two weeks for …

Not much to blog the last couple of days, but that doesn’t we don’t have content for you at AllSportsDiscussion. A few days Jimbo Fisher ranted about the BCS computer rankings. The ACCDN’s Riley Skinner agrees with Fisher and feels that Clemson and Florida State aren’t ranked high enough. For me it’s really simple… Florida …

Normally Monday is the day we scour the ACC Blogosphere for what’s going on in the ACC, but today with the release of the new playoff format well I have some thoughts on it. @HokieGuru has sent me the press releases he receives as a member of the ACSMA and you can read that after a couple …

I think we are sufficiently close to the bowl season to start looking at where the ACC Bowl teams could end up. It was actually a pretty good weekend for the ACC. At one time it looked the ACC might only get 5 teams bowl eligible, but Georgia Tech’s recent surge might give the ACC …

The Good Lesson Learned Florida State was on the road late against an inferior opponent and struggling. We’d seen this story before against NC State, when Florida State inexplicably lost 17-16 in Raleigh. Now they were in Blacksburg blowing another double digit second half. The only difference is that FSU bent and bent, but didn’t …

The College Basketball season started Friday. There are no moral victories but Maryland taking Kentucky down to the wire has to be encouraging to Terp fans. Not so much for Florida State who lost at home to South Alabama. Virginia without Mike Scott looks like a lower division ACC team after losing to George Mason. …

Since we’re all filling out ballots and voting today, I’ve got a poll you can vote on. There’s a little less at stake here than choosing the leader of the free world, but hey I think the results will still be interesting. Last Thursday the Miami Hurricanes indicated there was a possibility they may self-impose …

We’re in the homestretch of the football and the basketball season is just around the corner. This is my favorite sports time of the year when there is college football and college basketball on. ACC Bloggers – What’s happening? ShakintheSouthland is starting to get the sense that the Clemson program has turned the corner as …

In this really so difficult? On and on debate and after debate. Complicated computer algorithms that don’t seem to make any sense. In about 45 minutes I came up with my own computer rankings, that you could argue are as accurate as computer poll we use. It may even need a little tweaking, but remember …

The Good No Clemsoning in 2012 The inexplicable road loss won’t be happening for Clemson this year. This offense is putting up points like pinball machine, and is getting better and better each week. They are getting up early on opponents like tonight leading Duke 42-17 at the half before winning 56-20. Ok Easy prediction, …

Just a short post tonight after watching Miami’s 30-12 victory over Virginia Tech. Quick name a can’t playmaker on Virginia Tech’s team? Can’t name one? Neither can I. QB Logan Thomas has some raw ability, but is inconsistent at best. RB J.C Coleman has some speed, but is not a game changer. The Hokies stand at 4-5 …
