Good evening all you ACC football fans. As a NC State fan, I came into this season with aspirations of 9 or if the cards fell right, a 10 win season. After the first 3 weeks NC State is 2-1, not a bad record, but not ideal. NC State lost to South Carolina because, South …

All I could think of as I was watching Clemson flatten Louisville was this team might be better than last year’s national championship team. That is bad news for the rest of the ACC and the rest of the country. Clemson was Louisville’s Super Bowl this year. It was their biggest home game of the …

Duke played a sloppy game today against a bad Baylor team. They won 34-20, and moved to 3-0. Daniel Jones made some uncharacteristic mistakes at QB, and the secondary gave up a couple long TD passes. You never really felt Baylor would win the game though. A win is a win. They took care of …

Quick tell me how many ACC vs ACC Matchups have been ESPN Gameday Matchups the last 10 years that weren’t Florida State vs Miami ( A historically great rivalry ) or Florida State vs Clemson ( the best college football rivalry of the last 5 years )? October 3, 2009 – Florida State vs Boston …

It’s become a yearly tradition here on the blog. We get a good laugh at how inaccurate ESPN’s FPI is as predictor and actual rankings system. We laughed in 2015 and we laughed in 2016. Let’s laugh again in 2017, as Ohio State who I’d personally ranked around 12 or 13, are the number 1 team …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesnt 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 …

Winners Clemson – They look like they could reach the playoffs again. The defense looks like the country’s best and they totally stuffed Auburn Saturday night. The front 4 is scary good. Duke – This is a team to watch. Duke routed a pretty decent Northwestern team 41-17. Daniel Jones continues to get better and …

The year after Deshaun Watson left Clemson, we wondered if the Tigers were capable of reaching the playoffs again. After Clemson’s suffocating win over Auburn, we can safely say they are capable of reaching the playoffs. It all starts with the Tigers defense which features the country’s best front four. This is what I predicted …

Like American football where anything can happen AFL Betting sites give odds on Australian Rules Football. It’s the same around the world trying to predict game. Just go …

I was wondering where to go with this post-game article on Virginia Tech vs West Virginia. Do I praise Justin Fuente for reviving the Virginia Tech program? He deserves it, but I think we know Virginia Tech is in good hands with Fuente. What about asking if Virginia Tech is the ACC Coastal Division favorite …

Dotted across twitter by some FSU fans after a 24-7 loss to Alabama was why play Alabama in game 1? QB Deondre Francois may have suffered a serious knee injury too. We hope it’s not so bad. Was it worth it for Florida State to play Alabama? I think this question is bigger than just …

Everything was there for NC State… They had an experienced QB, some playmakers on offense, and a defensive line many thought was one of the 10 best in college football. They opened the season against a rebuilding South Carolina team with a head coach in Will Muschamp who’s had little tangible success in his career. …
