@Hokiesmash and I move along in our mailbag with this question from @RedWhitePodcast. Is Pitt underrated being projected at 5th in coastal?

So in the last two weeks we’ve heard a lot of complaining from head coaches across the country that Notre Dame needs to be in a conference.

As we round into the homestretch before football season, let’s take a look at some bold predictions I think have a very real shot at happening this year. 1) The ACC will Finish .500 or better against the SEC for the second year in a row. It hasn’t happened since the 1998-1999 seasons, after the …

1) Could We Crown New ACC Football Champions? ACC media staffers seem to think so, pegging Clemson as the favorite to win the Atlantic Division as well as the ACC Championship.

If ESPN is trying to silence any perceived SEC Bias, then this isn’t going to help. Every single SEC team is among the top 51 team in the country. I’m pretty sure Vanderbilt was one of the 20 worst teams in the country last year. That included a 3 point win over UMASS and 1 …
