I said on twitter this was the ACC’s best season in at least 10 years, and I truly believe that. Great games each week with top caliber competition. Even the teams near the bottom can throw a scare in to the top teams. Let’s get to the bubble rankings. In my ranking system, any RPI …

Am I jumping the gun a bit since there isn’t an official ACC Network announcement yet? Possibly, but I doubt it. I’m already thinking about some of the announcers I’d want to see on the network. Here are the 7 Announcers I hope end up on the ACC Network. I can tell you now, these …

Short post for this evening… From CBSSportsline.com we’ve found a football category that the ACC is leading in. They listed the 5 College Football Coaches with the hottest seat, and 3 of them were ACC Coaches. In fact the ACC coaches went 1,2,3. Ouch… Al Golden, Mike London, and Larry Fedora you might want …

Recruiting is the foundation for building the best teams in college athletics. Anyone that says otherwise either doesn’t really follow college sports or supports a school that recruits poorly. That’s the conventional thought. How true is it? I decided to take the final top 25 teams from this year Coaches Poll, and pull their Scout and …

If you have been following the blog conference rankings, it’s been more or less an eyeball test with a hefty dose of non conference results thrown in. During the regular season non-conference results are limited, but now that bowl season is over it’s good to review where each conference stands after the season. We now …

We’ve maintained here at this blog an ACC Network was going to happen. Comments back in November have led us to believe the discussions with ESPN were picking up steam, but we still haven’t received that definitive statement from the ACC that YES the Network is on the way. Some interesting comments were quoted by the …

Need a little pre-National Championship game reading, or something for the Halftime? By the way I’d like to Oregon win. I think it’s good for college football to see some non-historical powers football win a title. I think you have to go back 1991 when Washington split a title with Miami to find one. The …

There’s no question the ACC has improved as a football conference in recent years, but it is still not at the level of the Pac 12 or the SEC. The ACC did go 5-3 against the SEC, but most of that work was done by the best teams in conference. That still counts and it …

When you go 4-7 during bowl season like the ACC did, it’s hard to find positives. Same ole ACC from the critics who were ready to pounce. I’m not here say 4-7 was good. It certainly wasn’t. Performances by UNC, Miami, and the 4th quarter meltdown by Pittsburgh were especially ugly. Let’s not forget Boston …
