There is something very discouraging going on in the national college football media. They blasted the ACC the last few years, because the OOC results were terrible, and they were. There was no defending that. They said to win games and the respect will come, so teams from the ACC did win notable non-conference games …

As we go through this week’s Eliminator, we have 24 teams still alive. Of those 24, though, less than a dozen are serious contenders. It’s looking more and more like we’re on a path to some runaway playoff teams this season. Clemson has survived its biggest challenges and looks pretty likely to finish undefeated. So …

Syracuse was 6-0 and ranked #14 coming into a big game at top 10 ranked and 7-0 Clemson. Clemson has been the standard in the ACC since 2015, and one of the premier programs in the country for a decade. Syracuse had a chance Saturday to prove they were for real. Critics or let me …

Clemson got the daylights scared out of themselves against Dino Babers and Syracuse Saturday. Since 2017, Syracuse has played Clemson 6 times, and 4 of the games including Saturday were decided by single digits with Syracuse winning the 2017 game. Syracuse led 21-10 in the 4th quarter before QB Cade Klubnik helped lead Clemson to …

Syracuse (6-0) – A+ Coming into the season Dino Babers was on the hot seat, and Syracuse was considered one the three worst teams in the ACC. Now they are 6-0 and ranked in the top 15. They’ve been opportunistic and played tough defense. Sean Tucker is a load at RB and the Cuse are …

Is Georgia Tech a Coastal Contender if they beat Virginia? Georgia Tech already has a win at Pittsburgh and defeated Duke. What if they beat Virginia on Thursday to get to 4-3 (3-1) in Coastal? Can they be considered a true contender for the division? I think you have to say yes. North Carolina is …

North Carolina (6-1) – A Say what you want about UNC. They are lucky, they have no defense, etc etc. The fact is they are 6-1 and nobody expected them to be at this point. Drake Maye has been outstanding at QB, and Josh Downs is the best WR in the conference. Last year they …

The Eliminator is running into a bit of a problem. We still have a fair list of contenders–29 teams remaining, and a dozen of the most serious contenders–but those serious contenders are somewhat concentrated in a few divisions. We are on the verge of seeing chaos come about if we get one–let alone two–upsets in …

Clemson beat Florida State 34-28 in a not as close as the score indicated game. At no point during the 2nd half did it feel like FSU could actually the win game except for a moment during the onsides kick. Clemson went up 34-14, then cruised a little too early. That said the Tigers are …

Syracuse moved to 6-0 after their victory over NC State Saturday. It’s the program’s best start since 1987. How did Syracuse twitter react? Oh and Dino Babers is your mid-season ACC COY.

Did you miss me & @aadelsonESPN handing out our midseason awards & all-ACC picks on today’s In Play? I’m not angry. Just disappointed. Anyway, here they are …

ACCPrescription looks at the ACC’s OOC results. They aren’t overwhelming so far, but in a change from the last few years they are respectable. Why does Clemson’s spread against Florida State keep shrinking asks RubbingtheRock? After back to back wins, Georgia Tech football is fun to watch again says FromtheRumbleSeat. BackingthePack tells us what …
