Back during the 2004-2005 college football season 5 teams USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Boise St. and Utah finished the regular season undefeated. We hoped it would lead to an end to the BCS. It didn’t. At the time only SEC Champion Auburn was considered to have a legitimate gripe. This was before teams like Boise St. and …

If you’ve been following ACC Football through the first 4 weeks of the season, it’s been uneven to say the least. For every win over an Auburn (Clemson) or Ohio State (Miami) there were embarrassing blowout losses to Temple (Maryland) and Cincinnati (NC State). Currently less than half the conference is over .500. Pre-season favorites Florida State and Virginia …

I think when the season is over we’ll look at week 4 in the ACC, as separation week. There’s a clear line in the sand between the top and bottom half of the conference. Virginia Tech, Clemson, Florida State, and Georgia Tech have set themselves apart. North Carolina is not far behind. Others like NC …

So I’m as guilty as anyone getting caught up on all this expansion business, but there are actual games to be played in the ACC. Big games, real big games, with division and even national title hopes at stake. Who are the contenders and who’s on the outside looking in ready to join them? Contenders …
