If a game ever showed where Dabo Swinney’s post-dynasty hires are and what he should do, the Texas vs Clemson game did it. Clemson has been trying to get back to their 2015-2020 level and had to replace lead offensive coaches Jeff Scott and Tony Elliot. On defense, he had to find a replacement for …

With SMU in, the CFP Committee really got things just about 100% right.
Before Greg Sankey and Tony Petetti try to destroy the college football playoffs with their auto bid nonsense, their scheduling agreements, and their threats to make the college football playoff their personal invitational, we got a shot in the arm of integrity from the CFP Committee. It may be one of the final times we …

Epic ACC Championship Game gets Clemson and SMU into playoff
First off I’m not even entertaining the thought of SMU not making the playoff. The Mustangs showed the heart of a playoff caliber team down 17 in the 2nd half, and fought back to tie up Clemson 31-31. That’s a playoff team… period 11-2 with a 3-point loss on a 56 yard FG as the …

Finally getting it, Jim Phillip’s speaks up for SMU if they lose ACCCG.
FSU fans can certainly bristle that Jim Phillips has been more vocal this year in defending ACC playoff contenders than last year. Their gripe is warranted. Last year we called out Phillips and his silence about the Florida State snub. Finally, Jim Phillips seems to be getting it. Gifted with network platform Phillips is using …

The ACC’s three biggest questions of week 15.
The three biggest ACC football questions of the week. Here we go for Week 15. Will SMU fall out of the playoff with a loss? The fact we are even asking this question is insane. This only happens because the precious Alabama Crimson Tide could be left out of the field. By all logic and …

SMU the hero the ACC didn’t know they needed.
Part of the problem over the years in the ACC is depth, rarely does anyone step in to fill the gap when Clemson or FSU struggles. Miami we looked in your direction all year with a 9-0 start, only for Miami to do what they always do and that is fade late in the year. …

Clemson’s slow decline continues, but there’s suddenly life.
Saturday saw another nail in the coffin national of the Clemson program. For most programs, 9-3 isn’t too bad of a regular season. For Clemson it is especially when it is as hollow a 9-win regular season can be for the once-elite program. Clemson started the year getting boat raced by the Georgia Bulldogs on …

The ACC’s three biggest questions of week 14.
The three biggest ACC football questions of the week. Here we go for Week 14. Can Syracuse upset Miami? You bet they can. Syracuse QB Kyle McCord can light up defenses, and in the JMA Wireless Dome, I could easily see Syracuse putting up 30-40 points on Miami. On the other hand, Miami with QB …

If ACC doesn’t get multiple CFP bids, they can only blame themselves.
Last year a member of the ACC Florida State got hosed, jobbed, cheated whatever adjective you want to use out of a deserving playoff bid. They were a 13-0 P5 Champion that went 2-0 against the mighty SEC, and overcame a season-ending injury to QB Jordan Travis to win the ACC. I believe that and …

Did Miami’s defense turn the corner against Wake Forest?
Miami’s defense is ranked in the top 25, but I think we realized in the last couple of months it’s been a liability. With Heisman contender QB Cam Ward and a spectacular offense, the Hurricanes have mostly survived their defensive issues. Only Georgia Tech was able to finish off the Canes. What could the Canes …

Clemson may not control their playoff destiny, but it’s getting closer.
After Clemson lost to Louisville to fall 6-2, they were ranked 23rd in the college football playoff poll. Their at-large playoff hopes seemed cooked. A funny thing happened in the last month. Clemson started winning, and teams in front of them started losing. First, they took care of Virginia Tech 24-14, and they moved to …
