I’m guessing a lot of people around the country aren’t aware of the potentially remarkable season going at Wake Forest. The Deacs are often overlooked, but they shouldn’t be. Those of us that follow the ACC know what’s going in Winston Salem and it’s stunning in the best kind of way if you are a …

I didn’t watch all of this game, but I tuned in to see one of the great goal-line stands this season in college football. If there was a better one this year, I haven’t seen it. 4-6 Pittburgh was looking to get a win that could have save it’s season. With 30 seconds left, they …

After Georgia Tech likely cost itself a bowl game with a very ugly 43-20 loss at Duke, one thing has become abundantly clear. Paul Johnson and Georgia Tech have to cut ties with defensive coordinator Ted Roof. Roof is a former Yellow Jacket player from the 80s, and a decent recruiter. It’s not an overly …

One of my favorite series of articles that I wrote this year is the ACC’s best 25 OOC wins since the start of this decade. It’s the decade where ACC football became one of the premier football conferences in the country. This past weekend Miami knocked off #3 ranked Notre Dame. It was an outstanding OOC …

The ACC doesn’t need Notre Dame to join as full football member any longer. The conference doesn’t needed Notre Dame football to start a network, or to build the conference’s SOS. The ACC is firmly established as one of the premier football conferences in the country. They 5 game Notre Dame\ACC schedule works out well …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesn’t figure in to a committee members thought process. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – your most recent OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference that …

It’s a testament to where Clemson is as a program that after beating Florida State and winning their 3rd straight Atlantic division, you still get the feeling the Tigers aren’t quite hitting on cylinders. Miami blew out Notre Dame Saturday. Oklahoma has beat Oklahoma State and crushed TCU in back to back weeks. Auburn just …

3 weeks ago, Miami was a 7-0 fraud. Most people thought it, or at the very least said it was only a matter of time before they got exposed. Last week Miami took care of Virginia Tech 28-10 and some eyes were opened. Maybe this Hurricane team was pretty good, but surely when Notre Dame …

Georgia Tech’s Taquon Marshall had just thrown a pick 6. Virginia Tech took a 22-21 lead, and for the 4th time this year, the Yellow Jackets had lost a double digit 2nd half lead. I’ll be the first admit, the Georgia Tech fan in me said here we go again. I think most Georgia Tech …

What is usually hyped as the ACC match-up to decide the Conference is now, instead, just your usual fare in Conference play. Sort-of. Clemson is looking for a third straight appearance in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game. Only one team stands in their way: a talented (but depleted) 3-5 Florida State squad. I don’t …

Greetings, Hokies. If you are similar to me, you’re probably looking back on Virginia Tech’s performance vs. Miami thinking what could the Hokies have done better. Here’s a few random thoughts: Miami isn’t a bad football team. While the Hurricanes are not an elite team, they are much better under Mark Richt than they …

If you are a Miami fan that had to feel good. You know it did… Miami 28 Virginia Tech 10, and it wasn’t that close to be honest. Deservedly Miami’s resume had been questioned even with a 7-0 record. They had last second wins over mediocre Florida State and Georgia Tech teams. They struggled late …
