Clemson has a luxury that very few teams in college football have. They don’t have to play well to win and win big. Clemson won 47-21 against Syracuse Saturday. Some Tiger fans bristled when I suggested the final score wasn’t as close as the game indicated, but the fact is that’s exactly how closer than …

ACCPrescription has some ACCFactoids for us. How many ACC Teams are ranked in this week’s polls? Where the ACC QBs, and RBs ranked nationally? It’s there it that article. RubbingtheRock digs very deep to say Clemson could be challenged by Syracuse. More realistic is NunesMagician asks how many Infinity Stones does Syracuse need to defeat …

It’s not the ACC’s fault that eliminations in the conference are coming more rapidly than everywhere else. Most Big 12 teams are basically done for, but actual eliminations have been staved off by fortuitous splitting of losses plus a few COVID-related delayed games. The Big Ten and Pac 12 haven’t started playing yet. And numerous …

NC State had something going with Devin Leary. He didn’t play great, but when Leary was running the offense the rest of the team responded. Unfortunately, Leary’s season more likely than not season ended on Saturday. Leary underwent surgery on Sunday to repair a broken Fibula. The time frame for him to be out is …

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. The missed short field …

#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 — …
