We’ve already written a couple of articles on the ACC’s remarkable football season, led by the Clemson’s national title. The ACC was the nation’s best football conference this year. There is no question about it. We asked previously was the ACC’s success sustainable? I think we can assume that the ACC won’t regress to it’s BCS football …

In a football season that was historically great for the ACC, Louisville was one of the few ACC teams that ended the season on sour note. Louisville was at one time a legitimate playoff contender, to losing their final 3 games. Cardinal QB Lamar Jackson winning the Heisman was a definite year ending highlight, but …

This is going to be a weekly article, where I seed the ACC teams and where I think they’d should be placed if the tournament started the same day as my posting. In my ranking system, any RPI top (100) win is a good win and any RPI top (50) obviously worth more. Any losses …

The ACC’s remarkable football season left it the undisputed king college football in 2016. When a noted SEC media member like @finebaum admits ACC Football was college football’s best. Well it’s hard to argue that. Never thought I’d see this happen. Here’s a video of @finebaum saying the #ACC is the best conference in CFB. pic.twitter.com/W2dJLvHXfc …

We’ve been talking conference rankings all football season, and here’s the final one for 2016. 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 throughout the season. We’ll give each conference a relative strength value 1-10. Let me explain …

I’ve been wondering what to write about Clemson after their national title. As I was thinking about what Clemson just accomplished, I was trying to comprehend just how it happened. At the helm was head coached Dabo Swinney who long ago answered questions whether he could coach at this level. I follow the Clemson program, …

When it comes to sports, excellence should and is admired. There should always be a standard, a target for other teams and individuals to shoot for. Alabama is that program in college football. They have won 3 of the last 5 national titles, and 4 of the last 7. If they beat Clemson Monday night, …

Earlier today I wrote the 3 reasons why Clemson would beat Alabama, but this is Alabama. They are the current standard in college football. What are the 3 reasons they will be hoisting up another national championship trophy? 1) Nick Saban A couple of years ago after Urban Meyer and Ohio State beat Alabama and …

Followers of this blog know we were there when ACC football was a national punchline. Remember this article back from early 2012, when we lamented the ACC embarrassing itself during bowl season? You don’t have to root for your conference brethren to do well out of conference, but the ACC football was struggling so badly that …

I saw this posting from from the blog SaturdayDownSouth “Conference affiliation aside, Dabo Swinney built an SEC-like Clemson team”. Now SaturdayDownSouth is a fine blog. They write a lot of good articles, but on this I completely disagree. Clemson is most definitely not an SEC like team. In fact they are the epitome of the new …
