As Notre Dame went scorched earth on the ACC for their failure to make the playoffs, I wondered did the ACC really single out the Irish to such a degree that the response was warranted. What better way to find what the ACC really did than to scan the ACC’s football social media page. No … Continue reading »

So here we go, bowl season is upon us. We already have 3 teams opting out – Iowa State, Notre Dame, and Kansas State. I think we are nearing the end of the bowl format. They served their purpose for many years. They were fun, but I don’t see them staying with the current format … Continue reading »

Since the beginning of the CFP playoff rankings, Miami has been behind Notre Dame. At one point, they were 8 spots behind despite having the same record. That was in the week 10 playoff rankings. Miami, in the next 4 games, got better and returned to the form they showed early in the year. They … Continue reading »

For every argument you can make for Miami, Notre Dame, Alabama, and even BYU there is a previous result that should scare all 4 at large candidates and puts anything and everything on the table. What if a team won its conference championship game by double digits over a top 15 tm and was in … Continue reading »

7-5 Duke being in the ACC Championship Game has set off all kinds of alarm bells for the ACC. There’s no question it’s an absolute nightmare scenario for the conference. If Duke beats Virginia, there is a chance ( a pretty good one ) that the ACC would not have a team in the college … Continue reading »

The ACC lost this year’s challenge to the SEC 9-7. The ACC had an opportunity to win the challenge before a second-day collapse. Still, it was far better than the 14-2 shellacking of last year, and having the results used against the league. So, which ACC teams were winners and losers from the challenge? Winners … Continue reading »

When I saw Miami at 12 in the latest CFP poll, initially, I thought that’s not good for Miami. Then Notre Dame dropped a spot to 10. Oddly enough, Alabama moved up a spot after barely surviving 5 win Auburn. Nevermind, they have a loss to one of the ACC’s worst teams, Florida State. That’s … Continue reading »

One of the most embarrassing moments in ACC sports history is one game away from happening. A 7-5 Duke team that wins the ACC Championship would virtually assure that the ACC does not have a participant in the 12-team college football playoff. This doesn’t address that Miami should, in fact, should be an at large … Continue reading »

One award that should be wrapped now is the ACC COY. It’s Tony Elliot of Virginia. Jake Dickert of Wake Forest should be recognized as the only other ACC Coach that I’ll listen to getting any votes, but it’s got to be Elliot in the end. 1) Tony Elliot – Virginia Tony Elliot has turned … Continue reading »

By early October, all of Clemson’s playoff hopes were gone. Then the ACC Title game chances evaporated. They fell to 3-5 at one point, and it appeared Clemson would have massive difficulty just reaching a bowl game.

So here we are, since the moment FSU was snubbed for the CFP at 13-0, they’ve gone 7-17 (3-13), with no bowls, and a 0-6 record against rivals Florida, Miami, and Clemson. Their ACC record is a conference worst. The program is a corpse, and everybody knows it. They just lost by 40-21 to a … Continue reading »
