7-6 seasons are not measured the same for each program. When you are Wake Forest it’s a special season, and I mean that with the highest praise for what Wake coach Dave Clawson has done this year. I think he did an amazing job in a season that finished with bowl win against #24 Temple. …

Dave Doeren and his NC State team is one tough program to figure out. Doeren has 9 ACC wins in 4 years, but in his last 3 years he has never won fewer than 7 games. Monday the Wolfpack played inspired, tough, and physical football against a decent Vanderbilt team. The Wolfpack were the better …

It was only one game, but sometimes a bowl win can change the way a fanbase looks at an entire season. Boston College defeated Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl 36-30. It wasn’t the prettiest game.

After years, arguably decades of trying the ACC has finally caught the SEC as a football conference. What better way to compare conferences than head-to-head meetings. The ACC and SEC football teams play each other a lot during the course of a year. Going back to 2006, the ACC and SEC have met at least …

Now that the ACC is one of the premier conferences in the country, with the nation’s top basketball league and a high quality football conference I’m getting a little nostalgic.

CBSSportsline’s Jon Solomon says the Wakeyleaks issue is now an ACC issue and I agree. What Tommy Elrod did to his alma-mater betraying the trust of the Wake Forest football program is downright despicable. Elrod has ruined his career, and will never be part of the Wake Forest family ever again. Louisville and maybe other …

Here is a little throwback article, I came across. Remember when CBS Sport’s Dennis Dodd said the ACC was dead? Oops My bad… Dodd wrote this article back in 2012 that said the Champions Bowl would signal the end of the ACC. You know the Champions Bowl? It’s what the deal represents: If you haven’t noticed, …
