Week 3 was a see-saw for ACC football, but I guess that’s not always a bad thing when it comes to learning experience. Pittsburgh lost to Iowa on a 57 yard FG. Syracuse, NC State, and Miami are 3-0, and Duke still can’t find that quality OOC win after taking a loss at home to …

Things just get crazier each week… Let’t get right into things. Let me point out on my philosophy on these rankings – you’re 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. 1) SEC – 8.0 The SEC keeps …

Let’s be honest, most of us had kind of forgotten about Miami. Were they even relevant anymore? The ACC was Clemson and Florida State. Georgia Tech has had moments. Duke was improved, and Virginia Tech has that defense. Miami? They were Brad Kaaya, and a coach on the hotseat in Al Golden. Nebraska wouldn’t be …

Georgia Tech’s football team made a huge splash last year. There were 3 wins against teams (Clemson, UGA, Mississippi State) that finished the year in the top 15. The Orange Bowl win over Mississippi had Georgia Tech in everybody’s final top 10. The Yellow Jackets got on a roll towards the end of season that …

I won’t even lie to you, dear reader: It’s hard to do power rankings this early in the season. How can you differentiate between various wins over FCS programs? Really, we’re just all here waiting for conference play to start and the excitement to ramp up. Fortunately, we did get one ACC game last week, …

Let’s see what the ACC bloggers are writing this week. Georgia Tech blog FromtheRumbleSeat talks about how the Yellow Jackets will prepare for Notre Dame offense without QB Malik Zaire. Louisville is in some trouble after an 0-2 start and a very disappointing home loss to Houston. Cardinal blog UofLCardgame says there are issues all …

It was another intriguing week of ACC football in Week 2. A lot of good, some bad, some even devastating enough to leave you hanging over the stadium guard rail, if you know what I mean, so without further adieu, here’s what we learned… 1) The ACC Coastal Division title runs through Georgia Tech. (pun …

12 seconds… 12 seconds is all that remained for Virginia football to win their biggest game in years. You have to go back nearly decade when Virginia beat #5 Florida State to find a bigger one. It definitely would have been the biggest win of Mike London’s career at Virginia. Then it happened… Notre Dame …
