Wake Forest’s Jake Dickert is the best coach nobody talks about.

How many ACC schools are 11-4 in their last 15 games, with a 2-0 record against teams from the SEC and Big 10. Just because the name isn’t Clemson or Florida State doesn’t mean it isn’t something to pay attention too. Wake Forest wasn’t expected to do much this year. It seems like they never …

Duke win at Illinois proves last year’s ACC Title was no fluke.

Duke always seems to be an afterthought in the ACC. For that matter, so does Wake Forest, which won 9 games last year and Purdue on Saturday, but Duke is your defending ACC Champion, and won 9 games last year. In 2024, when Manny Diaz arrived, they won 9 games too. They won at Illinois …

Geoff Collins must deal with first setback following Citadel debacle

Categories:

by

For 10 months, it’s been going great for Georgia Tech head coach Geoff Collins. There have been recruiting wins, and a largely positive media marketing blitz. The expectations for the season were low. A bowl game would be a fantastic result, but even something in the neighborhood of 4-8 or 5-7 wouldn’t cause much concern …

ACC is not quite at ‘Clemson or bust’ for CFP, but it’s getting close

Following Week 2 is way too early to make grand pronouncements about the College Football Playoff. It’s a long season (yet somehow always too short), and just about anything can happen. Ohio State Buckeye fans still love to mock Clay Travis for declaring the Big Ten “out of the Playoff” after Week 2 in 2014, …

Categories:

Something looked and felt different about East Carolina kicker Jason Verity’s field goals in this season’s second game. It wasn’t simply hitting both tries, from 24 and 28 yards, in the Pirates’ 48-9 home-opening win Saturday over Gardner-Webb? He has a track record for accuracy. The junior from Bremen, Ga., was the All-ACC first-team kicker …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesn’t figure in to a committee members thought process.
