For every argument you can make for Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, and even BYU there is a previous result that should scare all 4 at large candidates and puts anything and everything on the table. What if a team won its conference championship game by double digits over a top 15 tm and was in …

7-5 Duke being in the ACC Championship Game has set off all kinds of alarm bells for the ACC. There’s no question it’s an absolute nightmare scenario for the conference. If Duke beats Virginia, there is a chance ( a pretty good one ) that the ACC would not have a team in the college …

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s …

One of the most embarrassing moments in ACC sports history is one game away from happening. A 7-5 Duke team that wins the ACC Championship would virtually assure that the ACC does not have a participant in the 12-team college football playoff. This doesn’t address that Miami should, in fact, should be an at large …

One award that should be wrapped now is the ACC COY. It’s Tony Elliot of Virginia. Jake Dickert of Wake Forest should be recognized as the only other ACC Coach that I’ll listen to getting any votes, but it’s got to be Elliot in the end. 1) Tony Elliot – Virginia Tony Elliot has turned …

By early October, all of Clemson’s playoff hopes were gone. Then the ACC Title game chances evaporated. They fell to 3-5 at one point, and it appeared Clemson would have massive difficulty just reaching a bowl game. Dabo Swinney needs to change his coaching philosophy on the portal for Clemson to get back to national …

So here we are, since the moment FSU was snubbed for the CFP at 13-0, they’ve gone 7-17 (3-13), with no bowls, and a 0-6 record against rivals Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Their ACC record is a conference worst. The program is a corpse, and everybody knows it. They just lost by 40-21 to a …

Georgia is one of 2 or 3 programs that are among the elite in college football. Ohio State is at the moment #1, and Georgia well, if they aren’t #2 then who is? Is it Alabama, the one team that Georgia struggles with – maybe? No matter how you slice things, Georgia is a top …

The three biggest ACC football questions of the week. Here we go for Week 14. Does Georgia Tech have a shot against Georgia? No… not a realistic one. If Georgia Tech beats Georgia, it would require things we’ve very rarely seen this season all coming together at once. Georgia Tech would need the 2nd half …

Podcast co-host @AllSportsDACC started talking about the ACC COY candidates on Twitter. That got me thinking, it’s time to list our candidates again, as the picture is getting much clearer. Let’s take a look. 1) Tony Elliot – Virginia Tony Elliot has turned Virginia into arguably the ACC’s most resilient team. Pre-season picked #14 in the …

Georgia Tech had everything in front of them. A home night game on senior day with a Heisman-caliber QB to go to the ACC Title game. Yes, the defense was a liability, but they just needed one adequate performance, and Georgia Tech would be Charlotte. A dangerous Pittsburgh team stood in the way. Pitt was …

Well, Mike Norvell and FSU lost another game. The Noles stand 5-6 (2-6) after an ugly 21-11 loss at NC State. Twice in the 4th quarter, when the score was 14-11, Florida State failed to field punts, where NC State recovered both. To make matters worse FSU missed a FG in the 4th quarter. As …
