Down goes Penn State, down goes Ohio State, and down goes Oklahoma State. All with difficult games, and now all have been eliminated from the playoff chase. Clemson also had a difficult game today. They had to head to Raleigh, NC and face an NC State team more than capable of beating the Tigers. For …

While one team’s season (Georgia Tech) went down the drain today, Virginia’s became a complete success after they became bowl eligible by beating the Yellow Jackets. Virginia is going bowling. Their record is now 6-3. With games at Louisville, at Miami, and Virginia Tech it was no guarantee the Hoos would get that 6th win. …

It amazes me that I even have to type this: FSU is 2-5 in November. Yikes. It’s been very difficult to bring myself to write opponent previews at this point, as I have little faith in my alma mater. What’s happening at FSU transcends just being a bad team: FSU has a culture problem, and …

When #13 Virginia Tech faces off with #10 Miami Saturday it will mark a rare ACC occurrence. For ACC fans the hope is that this doesn’t become so rare. For only the 3rd time since 2007, an ACC matchup of top 15 will not have at least one of Florida State or Clemson playing in …

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 …

Before the Clemson\Georgia Tech game Saturday Night, I tweeted this out. If kelly Bryant is 95-100% healthy clemson 31-17. If not it’s a 50/50 gm with GT — Jeff or Jeffrey Fann (@TalkinACCSports) October 28, 2017 I got the final score wrong, but with a healthy Kelly Bryant Clemson won 24-10 with the 14 point …

24-20, 25-24, 27-19, and 24-19. These are the winning scores of the Miami Hurricanes the last 4 games. They could have lost any of them, but they didn’t. Saturday they struggled to beat the ACC’s worst team North Carolina 24-19, but guess what they are 7-0 and they don’t have to apologize for their record. …

When Boston College played Florida State on Friday, one team (Boston College) played with pride, urgency, and a purpose. The other team Florida State played like the year was already over, and appeared to pack it in for the 2017 season. Let’s start with Florida State. Every coach and player on this year’s Florida State …

Over this past week, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about this weeks game against Notre Dame being a PROGRAM DEFINING game. Can we stop with this!!!! STOP IT!!! One game does not define a program. Did the NC State game versus #4 Florida State in 2012 define the program? Was the 2003 Gator …

A few weeks ago we wondered if Georgia Tech was actually a good team. After their 38-24 win over Wake Forest, I’m going to say it – Georgia Tech is a good football team. Flawed yes, but also pretty darn good. At 4-2 you have to remember this team is 2 points from being 6-0 and …
