What are some of the surest signs a program is turning the corner? I think it’s still winning games when adversity hits the hardest is one of them. NC State definitely faced that adversity Saturday night. Down 17-3 and the half, Devin Leary getting knocked out of the game in the 2nd half, then FSU …

We have the most eliminations of any week so far this year, as we say goodbye to 15 teams’ Playoff chances after Week 6. Eliminations should slow as we remain at the top contenders, but it would not surprise me if we stagnate at a final 15 or so for most of November. Of course, …

Before Saturday, November 10, November 17 of 2018 was the last time Georgia Tech won back-to-back games. That was Paul Johnson’s last season on the Flats. Georgia Tech never won back-to-back games during the ill-fated Geoff Collins era. Saturday’s 23-20 OT win over Duke gave HC Brent Key and Georgia Tech the program’s first back-to-back …

Five games into Tony Elliot’s tenure at Virginia and the Hoos look like one of the two or three worst teams in the ACC. A listless 34-17 home loss to a mediocre Louisville team probably ensures Virginia is going to have a long long season. Any discussion of the hot seat and Tony Elliot is …

ACCPrescription looks at TV college football ratings for the first 5 weeks of the season. There are many ways to analyze this data, but the bottom line is that ACC ratings are better when quality football is played in the league. That is happening this year.

Who stays in the ACC Atlantic race – Florida State or NC State? Florida State and NC State both took losses this past week to Atlantic Division Rivals Wake Forest and Clemson. This weekend they play each other, and it certainly seems like the loser is out of the ACC Atlantic chase. Clemson certainly is …

This season looks like it has strong potential chalk for the Playoff. Alabama, Ohio State, and Michigan all look dominant. Between Clemson, Georgia, and USC, we really could just see four teams cruise to the Playoff. Which four will those be? Of course, no one knows. But there’s a strong chance the Eliminator this season …

Saturday night’s 30-20 win over NC State, has established Clemson as the team to beat in the ACC for 2022. The Tiger’s defense finally looked more like what we expected coming into the season. They held the Wolfpack to just 34 rushing yards, and under 300 total yards. The defensive line looked as spry as …

If I didn’t see it, I wouldn’t have believed it. There wasn’t any doubt in my mind that a change in head coaches would improve Georgia Tech. Let’s just say Geoff Collins was limited in that department and I’ll leave it at that. When Brent Key was named head coach, I was looking toward the …

Louisville didn’t appear to have a lot wins left on their schedule, but Boston College looked like one. By the time it was over in a 34-33 loss, Boston College may have ended any realistic shot Louisville had at a bowl. For Scott Satterfield, you simply can’t lose a game like that. His status as …
