Just a short-post for tonight. Even though AAC Commissioner Mike Aresco is against it, conference champion Auto-Bids would benefit the ACC. While I do think a top 12 or top 15 team qualifier should be added to conference champions. In the end the Auto-Bid would certainly enhance the regular season. This week’s game …

This week saw a ton of upsets. Eight of the CFP selection committee’s Top 25 teams lost this week, including two of the Top 10. Of the 17 teams we had yet to eliminate last week, four lost. And none of those four teams are the sole elimination this week. I touched on this a …

Good afternoon, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Just a quick rant. This is really terrible: .@TalkinACCSports and I loathe the shot gun, short yardage, run by the QB or RB because everyone on both sidelines, the spectators and officials in the building, and the viewers at home know exactly what is coming.

Congratulations to the Atlanta Braves for winning the 2021 MLB World Series Championship! What if the College Football Playoff committee ran major league baseball?
