Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. In 2022, Virginia Tech is likely to end the football season with a 3-9 or even 2-10 record. I know sound incredibly negative, but I generally pick the team with the better players in trenches – offensive and defensive lines – and quarterbacks (QBs). The only …

Back in August, we wrote about the possibility of a TV partnership between the Pac 12 and the ACC. Three months later this might still be on the table according to a member of the Pac 12 Media John Canzano in his weekly column. From his article… I also expect the Pac-12 will announce plans to …

Is there a realistic path for an ACC team to reach the playoffs? No – The ACC’s realistic chances of having a playoff team died at South Bend. Now I think Clemson and UNC can get close. Notre Dame is ranked #20 and if they win out including beating USC they can get into the …

Last week, I spoke about how a Notre Dame upset of Clemson could spell big trouble for the ACC. Well, Notre Dame delivered, and how. Unfortunately for the ACC, that means both Clemson and North Carolina are well behind the eight-ball in terms of having a CFP-worthy resume. Is there some good news here? Actually, …

The ACC’s last best chance at the playoffs is history. Clemson went to South Bend and was absolutely undressed and exposed by Notre Dame. On a bad weather night, Notre Dame had a simple effective game plan – run the ball, play solid defense and special teams. Check, check and check from the Irish. Clemson …

Virginia Tech fell to 2-7 after a second-half collapse to Georgia Tech 28-27. The Yellow Jackets have been gritty under Brent Key, but they came into this game with Zach Pyron at QB. Pyron was Georgia Tech’s 3rd string QB barely a month ago. Playing at home the Hokies were up 27-16 in the 4th …

Can Clemson play a 60-minute game at Notre Dame? We’ve seen Clemson light it up on the scoreboard. We’ve seen Clemson lockdown defensively for extended periods. We haven’t seen the Tigers play a full 60-minute game on both sides of the ball. Can it happen at Notre Dame? I think the Tigers can beat the …

This year’s Notre Dame football team is, to put things lightly, an enigma. The Irish opened the season by keeping things very close against Ohio State. Notre Dame played far better against the Buckeyes than any team other than Penn State. The Irish also have some solid wins on the year. Then again, they also …
