For all the 30+ wins Clemson has had the last 3 years, the wins over the Auburns, LSUs, and Georgias, the Tigers still had a perception problem. While I personally think Clemsoning is a dead term, it still comes up in the media. There were still the losses to South Carolina. There was the blowout …

Tuesday was a rough day at the office for the ACC Bowl teams. Boston College, Virginia Tech and Duke all lost, but that’s where the similarities end. Of course no coach will ever say they are happy just making a bowl game or with a moral victory, but these losses meant different things for each …

This game was one of the hardest to watch of the bowl season. Ole Miss is a little bit more talented, and the coaching was just a little less inept, but make no mistake neither coaching staff should be applauded for that effort. That said I’d rather win ugly vs lose pretty anyday. Ole Miss …

I think the general consensus was that when Miami got into the top 10 they were overrated. Florida State showed us how much college football’s elite had separated from Miami in their easy 41-14 win. Again we saw it tonight, as Louisville easily dispatched Miami 36-9. The Cardinals are obviously not in Florida State’s class, …

When we went over the best players in the ACC earlier this year, I had North Carolina players littered across my best ACC player rankings. This team had talent, but it was a rough start for the Heels as they opened the season 1-5. They were easily the ACC’s most disappointing team of the season’s first …

Are we supposed to count Maryland? I don’t know as far as this blog is concerned the ACC is off to a 2-0 bowl start thanks to Syracuse’s 21-17 over the Big 10’s Minnesota. This was a big win in many ways. First there were many that thought the Pitt Syracuse wouldn’t enhance ACC Football. …

As I usually do I’ll write a quick impression of an ACC team after their bowl game. Maryland is technically still in the ACC for the moment. Basically I don’t have alot of thoughts on a program that is leaving the ACC. I’ve never liked the Edsall the hire. He’s not awful, but he won’t …

While I was watching Pitt play Thursday evening, I became aware of just how much football scarring Pittsburgh fans have. Even as the Panthers took the lead 27-20 over Bowling Green across my timeline rolled Pitt fan after Pitt fan expecting their beloved Panthers to blow the Little Ceasars Pizza Bowl. I always root for …

There’s a narrative going around that Florida State’s schedule puts them at a disadvantage when they play the Auburn Tigers on January 6th. This is obviously a laughable reason to say Auburn will win the game. The Tigers may yet defeat the Seminoles, but that won’t be be why. One only has to look at …

Merry Christmas from AllSportsDiscussion.com! Need a little break from the Christmas festivities to catch up on a little downtime reading? How about articles from around the ACC Blogosphere? Tomahawknation says Clemson’s team might be the right the analogy for Auburn. I have to disagree. Auburn is SEC which automatically makes them 3 touchdowns better than …

With Christmas right the around the corner, we decided to take a guess at what each ACC football program wants to see under the tree this year. We are just having a little fun here, so enjoy! Clemson Tigers – After 5 straight losses to arch rival South Carolina Please Santa, can Steve Spurrier just …

There are legitimate whispers that the ACC is considering realigning divisions. The big rage is creating a North/South Divisions. As I said back in June, this isn’t a slam dunk good idea. There are issues with North/South Divisions. There are issues with the current alignments. With 14 teams and Notre Dame filling in 4-6 games …

Let’s cut to the chance – @BCInterruption has a terrific blog post today on the future of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Personally, I am fine with the Coastal and the Atlantic Divisions the way they are. Here are your two divisions right now: In the ACC Coastal Division, member institutions include North Carolina, Duke, …

If you are an ACC football coach and you can’t use the 2013 season to help you in recruiting nothing will. A team in the national game with Florida State. There’s a second ACC team in Clemson in a BCS game. 3 times this year, Gameday was at an ACC stadium. What more could John …

When January 6th, 2014 arrives, the Florida State Seminoles will be playing the Auburn Tigers for the National Championship. They will not be be playing the S-E-C. Tomahawknation wrote a great piece of satire in their article Florida State faces huge challenge in defeating SEC in title game. As much as the ACC will take pride …
