The Big Ten hasn’t started to play yet. Looking at how the season has gone so far in each of the Power 5 conferences that have begun play already, maybe the Big Ten should be happy about that. There is one word that can describe the football season so far for each conference. Big 12: …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. The ACC Question of the week is back with our esteemed friend and college football writer @MattZemek, Editor at @TrojansWire . Do yourself a favor and give him a follow on twitter. The Florida State Seminoles were far from perfect on Saturday night against the North Carolina Tar Heels. The 15-yard penalties.

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing I’ve never been the biggest Dave Doeren fan. He went his first 4 years without a winning record in the ACC. 2018 was a 9 win season, that was a huge disappointment given the schedule. In 2019, injuries decimated the Wolfpack, and they were the worst team in the ACC. …

#StayHealthy and practice social distancing. When games get out of hand, it’s easy to want to blame someone. It sure did get out of hand in Atlanta. After Georgia Tech tied Clemson 7-7, the Tigers scored 66 straight unanswered on Georgia Tech. From my timeline, some Georgia Tech fans felt it was getting personal by …

I know I’m late on the Eliminator this week. In all honesty, it’s because I’ve had a crazy week. But I’m definitely happy to pretend I was waiting for Wednesday night’s game between Coastal Carolina and Louisiana. With the result of that game, by the way, the Sun Belt has been the second conference fully …

Sometimes the natural order of the universe resets man’s altered plans. That even applies to college football schedules in a modern world turned upside down by the COVID-19 pandemic. N.C. State and Duke are meeting for the 83rd time but only the second game in N.C. State head coach Dave Doeren’s eight Raleigh seasons. And …

I have already spoken about the chaos in the Big 12 just about every week so far. Things are not looking good for the conference, and Oklahoma’s victory over Texas doesn’t help. Oklahoma State is still undefeated, and there’s a decent chance that either Iowa State or Kansas State finishes with one loss. The conference …

Most ACC football teams have played three conference games. We still have two months of ACC football left in the regular season. Let’s ask a simple question: Do we know who is supposed to be good in the conference? It’s a fluid and unresolved question. Before the season, Louisville was expected to be good — …

People that just don’t want to see what’s there, have questioned UNC’s offense all year. Oh they lost 6 games last year, and it’s semi-sputtered the first two games this year. I’m sure after exploding for 56 points and nearly 700 yards against a Virginia Tech, Tar Heel critics will say it was against a …

By TOM SHANAHAN Three quick takes from Duke football’s first win of the season, a 38-24 decision Saturday afternoon at Syracuse. The Blue Devils’ inconsistent offense overcame four turnovers with 645 total yards, including 363 on the ground. Deon Jackson finished with 30 carries for 169 yards and Mateo Durant 23 for 163 and two …

Georgia Tech’s rebuild took another step forward after their 46-27 win Friday over the Louisville Cardinals. Following a poorly played mistake prone effort against Syracuse, the Jacket season hung in the balance against the Cardinals. Another sloppy effort and Georgia Tech would have been 1-3, with Clemson, Notre Dame, and Miami still remaining on the …

As I mentioned before, this is a strange year for the Eliminator. It’s a strange year for everything, sure, but the Eliminator is no exception. Group of 5 eliminations aren’t coming at their usual more steady pace (the Mountain West hasn’t even started playing), and the Power 5 conferences are starting in such different times …
