Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) fans. I hope you watched Virginia Tech’s Thursday night road game at Pittsburgh.

Sunday night should have been one of the best games of the year. Arizona and Seattle was a playoff caliber matchup. The game itself was everything currently wrong with the NFL. It was a 6-6 abomination of a game. There was almost not any vertical passing game, zero TDs, and no offense. It was a …

Ohio State just lost a great game at unranked Penn State. They’ll probably fall from #2 to somewhere between #7-#10 when the next polls come out. Their pursuit of a playoff spot likely remains unaffected. Is that a good or bad for college football? In the old BCS system, Ohio State would need plenty of …

I called out Louisville a little bit last when I said, last week’s 10 point win over Duke wasn’t good enough. It wasn’t either when you need style points to get back into the playoff chase. Today Louisville made that game a distant memory with a near flawless 1st half against NC State and cruised to …
