We’re headed into the homestretch of the college football season. What do the ACC bloggers have for us? Not suprisingly Louisville blog BigRedLouie thinks the first playoff rankings are garbage. Louisville was ranked 7th in the first poll. How did FSU fans react to the loss to Clemson? Florida State blog Tomahawknation tell us. As …

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 my relative rankings 0-5 : Conference lacks depth no elite teams 6-7: Conference lacks depth, …

Right now after the games of October 30th, the Clemson Tigers have the best resume in college football. It is is better than Alabama’s who has one very good home win against Texas A&M. Tennessee, Arkansas and Ole Miss have all fallen apart down the stretch. Michigan hasn’t beat anyone of note other than maybe …

This won’t be a long post, because there isn’t much to add. Boston College hadn’t won an ACC football game since November 29, 2014. Saturday they beat NC State 21-14 in an embarrassing home loss for the Wolfpack. I’m not taking anything away from BC. Those players could have quit long ago, but they didn’t. …

Virginia vs Louisville was probably the one of the best under the radar games I’ve seen all year. Virginia for several years has been one of the worst ACC football programs. They hired the high successful Bronco Mendenhall out of BYU. Mendenhall’s teams were know for toughness and physical play. We knew that would be …
