Did those ACC Bowl predictions change since last week? A bowl eligible Wake Forest, North Carolina, or NC State may not make the cut, unless another spot open elsewhere. So who gets left out?

The game of the century was Saturday night, 1 vs 2, LSU vs Alabama. It’ was a hard hitting, back and forth defensive struggle, that LSU won 9-6 in Tuscaloosa. If you like defense, it was a classic. I like defense I thought it was a heck of a game, but I don’t want to …

Some of the ACC heavyweights (Clemson, Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech) got a much needed BYE week, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t some pivotal results. Let see what the Good, The Bad and The Ugly for the week was. The Good Going Bowling The Mike London rebuilding project at Virginia continues to gather steam. The …

Time for a little ACC poll. With just over a month left before the ACCCG, which matchup would you most like to see? I’ve read that less than 1000 general sale tickets remain. That’s good news for the ACC. It sure isn’t like it was when the game was held in Florida and you couldn’t …

Maryland Terrapin football is a complete mess in 2011. With one of the best returning ACC QB’s in Danny O’Brien, I felt this could be a darkhorse team in the ACC Atlantic, but Randy Edsall’s squad is in total disarray. Our resident Maryland expert contributing writer Josh Burton has put together a very fair assessment of …

If you can figure out another wacky and wild weekend in the ACC please let me know. Clemson goes down at Georgia Tech, and then what I feel was an even bigger shocker Boston College wins at Maryland. I didn’t see that BC win coming at all. Ok awards time… The Good No ball for …

Just some quick random thought tonight after Clemson’s stunning 31-17 loss at Georgia Tech. Tomorrow I’ll post the usual ACC weekly awards. With Clemson losing this evening the ACC is virtually eliminated from the BCS Title chase. Sadly the general fan feedback was that was just Clemson being Clemson, and the ACC is just mediocre …

ACC fans understand the conference is always fighting for national respect when it comes to football. This season the ACC has a team in the BCS Title conversation, the Clemson Tigers. The Tigers are ranked 6th in both major polls and 5th in the BCS Standings, and sit 8-0. There’s no question they’ve got a shot at …

This game is special for me and one I consider one of the South’s most underrated rivalries. Having went to both schools, I know this rivalry well. It’s a pretty friendly one, but highly competitive. Rarely has this game had so much on the line. Clemson is right in the thick of the national title race, …

When Texas Tech upset the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma 41-38 Saturday Night, it was as a 28 point underdog. Yep you read that right the Sooners were favored to win that game by 4 Touchdowns, and lost at home. It was an upset that threw the BCS into total chaos, but I’m not sure it’s …

There’s one thing I guess the BCS creates, and that’s weeks before the national title game a handful inches can end a very good’s team national title hopes. When Michigan St. beat Wisconsin on a miracle Hail Mary pass in the final seconds of their game Saturday, the Badgers National Title Hopes effectively came to an …

Rising and falling, that’s the theme in the ACC this weekend. Some teams continue to improve and get better. I’m talking to you Clemson, Virginia Tech, and Florida State, while some others specifically Georgia Tech and North Carolina are sinking so fast you barely remember 2 weeks ago they were 6-0 and 5-1. Awards time! …

I know I know… one game at a time, the Tigers haven’t even won the ACC yet, and technically not even the Atlantic division, but where’s the fun in that? How often in the last half-dozen years has an ACC team entered the 3rd week in October with a legitimate possibility to reach the National …
