One of the first 2022 All-ACC Football Teams has been released, and it is from Athlon Sports. A few things stood out to me… 1) Clemson’s defense makes up nearly half of the 1st team defense, and if you add the 2nd team that’s more than half of their defense on the 1st or 2nd …

We did Way Too Early College Basketball rankings back in April, but since then Wednesday was the deadline for players to withdraw from the NBA Draft so some rankings have changed. CBSSports, 247, and NCAA just updated their rankings, while ESPN is just a couple of days old. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/college-basketball-rankings-gonzaga-gets-good-news-ucla-drops-in-top-25-and-1-after-nba-draft-deadline/ https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/College-basketball-rankings-247Sports-updates-Top-25-for-2022-23-188232875/#188232875_3 https://www.ncaa.com/news/basketball-men/article/2022-06-02/college-basketball-rankings-drew-timmes-return-sees-gonzaga-rise-andy-katzs https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/page/earlytop25053122/gonzaga-bulldogs-villanova-wildcats-way-too-early-top-25-men-college-basketball-rankings-2022-23 Make sure you …

What were the sports betting odds prior to today’s stunning announcement that NC State would not be part of the NCAA Baseball field? In my mind the chances were so remote they would be left out of the field, that I didn’t even consider the possibility that it could happen. By my count, the Wolfpack …

Well here are your 16 Regional Hosts. From an ACC perspective, no real surprise other than Miami hosting and Notre Dame was not. Miami was 4-6 down the stretch and had the #15 RPI. While the Irish had a #13 RPI. Both had 14 Q1 wins. I suppose Miami got the lean because of the …

Monte Lee has been at Clemson for 7 years. If you throw out the COVID 2020 year, that is still 6 years he’s never led Clemson to a super regional. What’s worse is Lee is not even getting Clemson to the NCAA Tournament anymore. In 2021 Clemson missed the NCAA tournament with a 25-27 record …

For some off-season football reading, we already looked at the ACC’s 5 best Out of Conference wins of the 2020s. Unfortunately, that was an unimpressive list, especially with the lack of OOC games in the first year of the decade. 2021 was better, but there were still too many cringe-worthy losses. The narrative doesn’t just get …

It is hard to criticize a player that transfers for the NIL money. It’s an opportunity that wasn’t there before for college athletes and so more power to them to take advantage. When an athlete does stay loyal to the school that developed him it’s kind of a comforting story. Boston College’s Zay Flowers is …

Is it too early to start looking NCAA Baseball and Softball Projections? I don’t think so. As we start to turn the corner from college basketball to college baseball and softball, the ACC looks to be well represented. Projections are already being released so let’s take a look.
