Clemson and Louisville played an instant classic on Saturday night. While Saturday’s loss to Clemson did put a dent in Louisville’s playoff hopes, it did not end the Cardinals chances of reaching college football’s promised land. The Cardinals are still ranked 7th in the AP Poll and 8th in the Coaches Poll. We know those …

How often do big games live up to the hype – 25% of the time 50% of the time? It’s hard to say, but one game lived up to the pre-game hype. Clemson vs Louisville was everything we thought it could and more. If these aren’t 2 of the 5 or 6 best teams in …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Hope you are enjoying this college football Saturday. We’re really close to season’s midpoint – and we have blogged much about the Miami Hurricanes football team, but they have quietly started out 4-0 in – and are now a top 15 program.

ACC football, of course, takes the center stage tonight when #3 Louisville visits #5 Clemson (it’s the third time this year that College GameDay has been in ACC country).

By Scott Levy Week 4 saw no shortage of clutch and big-time performances throughout the ACC. For the first time this season, it was completely acceptable to leave Louisville’s Lamar Jackson and Clemson’s Deshaun Watson off this list.
