Congrats to Duke and Wake Forest for a couple of nice 4-0 starts to the season. So nice it’s never happened before at the same time for both teams. Dave Clawson and David Cutcliffe are in early contention along with Justin Fuente, and Dabo Swinney for ACC coach of the year. I’m hoping someone will …

A month ago Florida State entered the season as a national title contender. Even after the 24-7 loss to Alabama the Noles playoff hopes were not completely dashed. QB Deondre Francois suffered a season ending injury, a hurricane disjointed the schedule, and FSU went into their game with NC State having not played in a month. …

Each football weekend, I give you my reaction to handful of ACC games. I very rarely comment on games that I didn’t watch a good a portion of. Let me just say I wasn’t able to watch, but the final minutes of Virginia vs Boise State. I still had to write a game reaction, because …

Amazing, we’re about a quarter of the way through the regular season, and FSU only has one game under their belt! No fault of their own, it just came after a heart-wrenching loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide, a season crippling injury to Deondre Francois, and a devastating Hurricane that impacted seven Collegiate football programs …

It’s been awhile since we’ve had any updates on the ACC Network, but some news came out this week. First many of us thought the ACC Network would be based in Charlotte, NC near the ACC’s geographic center. SportsBusinessDaily reports that the ACC Network will based out of Bristol, Connecticut. ESPN told network staff today …

While the playoff committee doesn’t rank the power 5 conference, there is no way conference strength – which means OOC results doesnt figure in to a committee members thought process. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – your most recent OOC results count a lot, and you’ll see me reference that …

Good evening all you ACC football fans. As a NC State fan, I came into this season with aspirations of 9 or if the cards fell right, a 10 win season. After the first 3 weeks NC State is 2-1, not a bad record, but not ideal. NC State lost to South Carolina because, South …

All I could think of as I was watching Clemson flatten Louisville was this team might be better than last year’s national championship team. That is bad news for the rest of the ACC and the rest of the country. Clemson was Louisville’s Super Bowl this year. It was their biggest home game of the …

Duke played a sloppy game today against a bad Baylor team. They won 34-20, and moved to 3-0. Daniel Jones made some uncharacteristic mistakes at QB, and the secondary gave up a couple long TD passes. You never really felt Baylor would win the game though. A win is a win. They took care of …

Oklahoma State was going to blow out Pittsburgh Saturday no matter what. The Cowboys are a playoff threat, and Pittsburgh even before today’s game looked at best like a fringe bowl team. Saturday turned into a highlight reel for Oklahoma State, where they could have scored 80 if they desired. It got so bad that …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. We rarely talk about Clay Travis on this site (only when he gets owned by Richard Deitsch or when he says stupid crap about how a college team is better than a pro team). We generally don’t talk about Clay Travis because there are people out there that …
