NC State’s Dave Doeren is the real ACC Coach of the Year.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. Notre Dame’s Brian Kelly was named the ACC COY  for the 2020 season. It was stunning decision, and it was the wrong one. It was so stunning that after Notre Dame’s 34-10 ACC Championship Game loss to, I didn’t even consider it a possibility. With that said, I don’t want …

Army’s Amadeo West overlooked for college football leadership awards

By TOM SHANAHAN College football is notorious for presenting awards too soon. The Heisman Trophy, the highest profile award, offers too many examples. The Heisman winner flops in a bowl game. Meanwhile, the runner-up has a big day. Take 2005 for example. College football is notorious for presenting awards too soon. The Heisman Trophy, the …

Selection Sunday CFP Eliminator and Bubble Watch: Who’s In?

It seems fitting that 2020 will leave us with the most chaotic Selection Sunday of the CFP era. Twice in the CFP era, we’ve had a three-team “bubble” coming out of Conference Championship weekend. In 2014, the fourth spot could have gone to any one of Ohio State, Baylor, or TCU. In 2017, Alabama, Ohio …

No reason to put Texas A&M in playoff over Notre Dame.

Well the playoff are virtually locked. Alabama is currently ahead of Florida. That’s your #1 seed. Clemson looked the part of an elite team crushing Notre Dame 34-10. That’s your #2 seed. Ohio State looked shaky against Northwestern. I have a problem with their 6 game schedule, but the committee won’t leave them out. An …

Duke hoop learning to play together; football adds 18 on signing day

They’re some of the top basketball recruits in the nation, but they also are essentially strangers in this oddest of seasons. The COVID-19 pandemic slowed their transition from highlighting individual skills in AAU ball to executing at the Division I college level.

AAC Commissioner explodes on the Playoff Committee, and he’s right.

It had to be done. A voice had to speak up on the sham the playoff committee has put forth this year as a selection process. Teams moving up after losing. Criteria that is set up by convenience rather than resume. Losses that have apparently little to no impact. All this this done without the …
