One of my favorite series of articles that I wrote this year is the ACC’s best 25 OOC wins since the start of this decade. It’s the decade where ACC football became one of the premier football conferences in the country. This past weekend Miami knocked off #3 ranked Notre Dame. It was an outstanding OOC …

Notre Dame’s lack of full ACC conference affiliation has finished off their playoff hopes in 2017.
The ACC doesn’t need Notre Dame to join as full football member any longer. The conference doesn’t needed Notre Dame football to start a network, or to build the conference’s SOS. The ACC is firmly established as one of the premier football conferences in the country. They 5 game Notre Dame\ACC schedule works out well …

Ranking the Power 5 Football Conferences after Week 11 with Playoff Analysis
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.

Clemson survives game with Florida State, but Tigers have room to improve.
It’s a testament to where Clemson is as a program that after beating Florida State and winning their 3rd straight Atlantic division, you still get the feeling the Tigers aren’t quite hitting on cylinders. Miami blew out Notre Dame Saturday. Oklahoma has beat Oklahoma State and crushed TCU in back to back weeks. Auburn just …

After destroying Notre Dame, Miami proves they are a playoff caliber team.
3 weeks ago, Miami was a 7-0 fraud. Most people thought it, or at the very least said it was only a matter of time before they got exposed. Last week Miami took care of Virginia Tech 28-10 and some eyes were opened. Maybe this Hurricane team was pretty good, but surely when Notre Dame …

Georgia Tech may have salvaged season with upset of Virginia Tech.
Georgia Tech’s Taquon Marshall had just thrown a pick 6. Virginia Tech took a 22-21 lead, and for the 4th time this year, the Yellow Jackets had lost a double digit 2nd half lead. I’ll be the first admit, the Georgia Tech fan in me said here we go again. I think most Georgia Tech …

FSU Opponent Preview: Clemson
What is usually hyped as the ACC match-up to decide the Conference is now, instead, just your usual fare in Conference play. Sort-of. Clemson is looking for a third straight appearance in the Atlantic Coast Conference Championship Game. Only one team stands in their way: a talented (but depleted) 3-5 Florida State squad. I don’t …

Miami quiets critics with big win over Virginia Tech.
If you are a Miami fan that had to feel good. You know it did… Miami 28 Virginia Tech 10, and it wasn’t that close to be honest. Deservedly Miami’s resume had been questioned even with a 7-0 record. They had last second wins over mediocre Florida State and Georgia Tech teams. They struggled late …
