If anyone is still sugarcoating things including Dabo Swinney, let it go. The 2023 Clemson football team is just bad. They are bad and getting worse. The OT performance against Florida State that apologists keep pointing to was fool’s gold. Clemson in that game faced a diminished QB in Jordan Travis, was at home, and …

Thursday night might have as well been somewhere around the mid 2000s for Virginia Tech. If it was Thursday night the Hokies used to own it in Lane Stadium. It looked light that again for Virginia Tech against Syracuse. The offense was explosive, the defense was stifling, and the special teams was solid. Virginia Tech …

We ask the three biggest ACC football question marks of that week. Here we go for Week 8. Will North Carolina implode like last year? Last year UNC was 9-1 when they lost at home as a huge favorite against Georgia Tech. They never won another game. This year 6-0, and a huge favorite at …

Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans. Just a quick post for tonight – please urge the women in you lives to get mammograms. Mammograms, if done early enough, have the potential to catch breast cancer – or at least can get people in a position earlier to get treatment. https://t.co/cPG2OZYbvu — Georgetown WBB …

14. Pittsburgh (2-5, 1-3) Last Week – 11 Lots of officiating controversy against Wake Forest, but other than that Louisville win, it has been a nightmare season for Pitt. It will continue with a game at Notre Dame. 13. Virginia (2-5, 1-2) Last Week – 14 I said Virginia had no chance against UNC. I …

During our week 8 ACC Power Rankings, this is what I said about Clemson… I still don’t know if Clemson is much better since week 1 considering Syracuse has lost 3 in a row, and they barely beat Wake Forest. They need to show something against Miami to prove they are on track. The answer …

Tony Elliot and Virginia came up with a stunning unbelievable win over a top 10 and 6-0 North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Hats off to Elliot for taking his previous 1-5 and winless in the ACC Virginia team, and playing their game of the decade in pulling off arguably the biggest upset of the season …

Boston College and Georgia Tech was a middle-of-the-pack ACC game that maybe wasn’t on a lot of people’s radar outside their fanbases, but the post-season ramifications would be huge for the winner and loser of the game. When it was all over Boston College had won 38-23 and suddenly at 4-3 Jeff Hafley has Boston …

We ask the three biggest ACC football question marks of that week. Here we go for Week 8. Who salvages their season Clemson or Miami?

14. Virginia (1-5, 0-2) Last Week – 14 The gap between Virginia and the next worst ACC team keeps growing. Virginia has no chance at UNC. 13. Wake Forest (3-3, 0-3) Last Week – 10 Wake Forest’s offense can’t score, and this team is getting worse as the season progresses. Their season could fall apart …

A week ago Louisville was the toast of college football. They had played a near-perfect 2nd half against a good Notre Dame team and produced the Cardinal’s biggest win in years. There were whispers of a possible ACC Title game and a 2023 TCU-like run. It all came to a screeching halt in a disaster …
