Now I’ve never said the ACC was country’s premier football conference. It’s not, but it’s gotten better and it’s getting better. In the past year the ACC went 4-2 in the last bowl season, won an Orange Bowl, and beat name programs like Georgia, Florida, LSU, USC, and Notre Dame. Florida State has been the country’s …

Just got back from the ACC Championship. It was the 2nd time this year I’ve seen Florida State up close. I was impressed with them every bit as much as when I saw them dismantle Clemson. While FSU winning the ACCCG was never going to be in doubt, Duke landed some early punches on the …

The BCS was great because we had an exciting regular season all the games mattered! No I don’t like it, because my conference is tougher than your conference and your schedule stinks anyways. The SEC apologists are so much fun. We can have both though, a meaningful regular season and an exciting and lucrative playoff. …

I’ve refrained from discussing the Jameis Winston story either on here or on twitter until the investigation reached it’s end. It was a personal choice, and I have no problem with anyone that speculated on the investigation. I do think there were some disgusting articles that rushed to judgement. That said Jameis Winston will not …

It’s ACC Championship week! We have the Florida State Seminoles who may the best team in the country playing the best Duke team in history. FSU is the overwhelming favorite. Let’s not kid ourselves it’s going to take a miracle for Duke to win, but that speaks more to how good FSU is, because the …

More bowl chaos… Yes! That’s what makes college football so great. The ACC has 11 bowl eligible teams. Syracuse and Pittsburgh are the odd teams out for the ACC’s designated bowl slots, but most projections I’ve seen have them somewhere. The Little Ceasar Pizza Bowl seems to be a popular destination for Pitt, and I’ve …

What an epic day in college football it was. Auburn with their improbable incredible victory over Alabama on a return for a touchdown off a missed FG. Michigan failing to make a 2 pt conversion which resulted in a 42-41 win for Ohio State. The results put the Buckeyes in the position for the national …

Tajh Boyd has been a very good quarterback for the Clemson Tigers. He’s guided Clemson to it’s first back to back to back 10+ win season since the last 1980s. He’s won an ACC Title. He’s beat Florida State, Auburn, LSU and Georgia. He’s won bowl games and put up video game like stats. He’s …

It’s a rivalry week in College Football. That means Florida State vs Florida, Clemson vs South Carolina, Georgia vs Georgia Tech, Duke vs North Carolina, and Virginia Tech vs Virginia. That gives the ACC several chances against the SEC to finish the regular season. If the ACC can go 2-1 in these 3 games, I’d …

With Baylor and Oregon losing do realize that a Clemson vs Florida State national title isn’t out of the question? Looks who is #4 in the Coaches poll… That’s Clemson. If they beat South Carolina, and Ohio State and Alabama loses, then it will all come down to those final computer rankings and Clemson would …
