Louisville went into their game with Miami 9-1, and without question were the ACC’s number 2 team. They still weren’t a lock to be Florida State’s opponent though in the ACCG. They had to win at Miami to clinch their birth in the ACC Championship game. The Canes are a talented, but erratic team – …

Georgia Tech on Saturday was overwhelmed, overmatched, and just outplayed by Clemson in an ugly 42-21 loss. That said as a 14-point underdog even if the Jackets had played better, it was unlikely that they were going to knock off a surging Clemson that’s finally playing like many predicted in the pre-season. The Yellow Jackets …

I kind of have a rule when I post articles about ACC football games. I don’t write articles about games unless I’ve watched at least half of them. I like to see the game flow, and how teams respond in certain situations. I’m breaking that rule for NC State after their 26-6 win over Wake …

It’s a subtle thing early, but the ACC is the only P6 basketball conference without a loss so far. That’s a 16-0 start. Why does it matter with the season just starting? Last year the ACC and in particular Louisville and Florida State took a ton of early-year non-conference that torpedoed the metrics of the …
