Closing Comments: Jeff: I think this year you see the ACC with legitimate depth. Clemson and FSU are perennial top 20 teams, and usually a third or fourth team breaks through into the top 25.

ESPN has a complicated relationship with college football fans. There was the SEC Bias uproar of last year. ESPN’s Football Index was universally panned was laughable at best and downright dangerous at worst. I think we can say ESPN hasn’t always been the best friend to ACC football. I’m going to give ESPN writer @DavidHaleESPN some credit …

The AP Top 25 was released Sunday. From the ACC Florida State was #10, Clemson #12, and Georgia Tech #16. Only the Pac 12 and SEC had 3 teams ranked higher. Should ACC fans feel slighted or good about where the ACC teams are ranked? Overall I don’t have much problem with this. Florida State and …

Interesting article from CBS Sportsline. Are you looking for a database of the Cost of Attendances for the schools that have released their numbers? There is a separate article on the chase to pay college players as well from CBS Sportsline. I don’t have a problem with giving athletes a stipend, but where these numbers …
