There have been some great coaching in the ACC this year, but November is where you make your money at. Several ACC coaches did fine November coaching jobs, but three in particular did truly exceptional coaching jobs. Mike Norvell, Dave Doeren, and Dabo Swinney. Let’s look at each one. Florida State – Mike Norvell Norvell …

Florida State shows grit, heart, and playoff mettle winning in the Swamp.
Florida State is still in position for the College Football Playoff. They are still there because they dug deep in a hostile environment with their 2nd and sometimes 3rd string QBs, and beat Florida 24-15. The way the game started it looked like Florida would run Florida State out of the Swamp. The Gators were …

Louisville chokes away coveted win over Kentucky.
Louisville has had an amazing regular season. When you are 10-2 and make an appearance in the ACC Title game, it is and unbelievable, unreal, and special season. It’s not a magical one unless you beat Kentucky. Louisville didn’t and so it wasn’t. It’s not fair, but that’s reality. Kentucky had 1 win since September …

Miami flashed potential all season including win over Boston College.
The Miami Hurricanes were so close. The Canes finished the regular season 7-5 (3-5) after Friday’s dominating 45-20 win over Boston College. It was an uneven regular season for HC Mario Christobal and the Canes. Miami was in every single one of their regular season games. They never lost a game by more than 14 …

A loss to South Carolina will undo all Clemson’s November optimism.
Back on November 4, Clemson sat 4-4 (2-4). Just about every pre-season goal Clemson had set for themselves was gone. They were left playing for pride, and questions about the direction of the program and Dabo Swinney mounted. Then Clemson started winning and winning and winning some more. It started with top 15 Notre Dame, …

Michigan Really Doesn’t Have Many Paths to the College Football Playoff
Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. We tired of Michigan getting any sort of hype. As both @TalkinACCSports and I have talked about ad nauseum, if you think Ohio State or Michigan has a better resume than Washington, you like to talk about playoffs as an entitlement, but you don’t really watch college …

Three Ways we know you can talk playoffs, but don’t actually watch college football.
With the college football playoff just around the corner it’s becoming abundantly clear the people who like to talk about college football, but in fact, don’t watch college football. You could never come to these three conclusions if you actually paid any attention to the sport. 1. Florida State doesn’t make the playoff if they …

Is Michigan’s Appearance in the College Football Playoff Rankings a Perpetual Self-Licking Ice Cream Cone?
Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports. We previously argued that Michigan should absolutely not be in the College Football Playoff rankings with the schedule it it has (and ESPN’s Dan Mullen finally came around to our point of view). We also said that Michigan didn’t really get a test until it played Penn State …

FSU account says what Jordan Travis meant to Nole program.
Saturday Florida State’s QB Jordan Travis suffered what looked like a season-ending injury. Travis is one of those players every college football fan roots for. He worked hard, paid his dues, and was just a model student athlete. I said multiple times I thought he was the ACC’s best most valuable player. How do you …

Georgia Tech met the moment against Syracuse – now headed to a bowl.
As my podcast partner, @ASD_Hokiesmash said today – Louisville “met the moment” at Miami. They did and they clinched an appearance in the ACC Championship game. Another team “met the moment” today. Georgia Tech didn’t quite have the national stakes on the line that Louisville did, but for a rebuilding program, it was still a hugely …
