Mark Rogers posts hundreds of college football discussions on his website and invited me to join him for a 15:00 discussion leading up to Clemson’s game at NC State. We discussed the Charone Peake injury, Tajh Boyd (and his place in Clemson history), Sammy Watkins, Clemson’s defense, NC State, and the tough games coming after NC … Continue reading

Last week I published this article on the college football conferences and argued that no conference outside of the SEC could make a sound claim as being stronger than the ACC. I was promptly lambasted by Nebraska and UCLA fans for not shedding a favorable enough light on their beloved programs. So, here is a completely, 100%, objective graphic … Continue reading
Clemson’s week 1 victory over Georgia was a statement win for the program. As I said in a previous post (linked here), it marked the culmination of Dabo Swinney’s work to transform Clemson from annual pretender to serious contender. In week 2, that win over UGA was validated as UGA defended their home turf to … Continue reading
A few things to mention before I offer my ACC Power rankings. Firstly, this won’t be a consistent weekly digest. For that, Robert Reinhard of Blogger So Dear does a phenomenal job and I recommend his #GoACC Power Rankings. Also, these should not be viewed as projected standings because standings are to some extent dictated … Continue reading
Join up! For years I’ve had a top 25 NCAA Football Pick’em group using confidence points. Now that the ACC is up to 14 teams, it can generally provide at least six games per week and as many as 14. So forget about spreads and 10:30 games on the West coast and pick every game … Continue reading
It’s been a long and anxious wait for August 31st, but we’re getting close. As I previously wrote, this is the most anticipated Clemson football season in memory and expectations couldn’t be higher. That’s because Tajh Boyd decided to return for his redshirt senior season, a decision that vaulted him into Heisman discussion and Clemson … Continue reading
According to TigerNet.com, Clemson will play host to the North Carolina Tar Heels in 2014, dropping UVA after a trip to Charlottesville this season. In the past, the ACC has always played home-and-roads with opponents from the opposite division. The “crossover rival” remained constant every year with two other crossover games that featured same team two years … Continue reading
With Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, and Louisville joining the ACC as full-members for baseball (and Maryland leaving), the best conference in the country will grow even bigger and stronger. The ACC currently plays a gimmicky round robin style tournament wherein only the top 8 teams in the conference make the event, forming two pools of four. … Continue reading
Today the ACC announced a Grant of Rights, meaning that all the ACC school’s presidents have agreed to relinquish control of their universities’ television rights for the length of their current TV contract, which runs through the 2026-2027. The Big 12 has a similar agreement. This may be premature (it is), but with the four-team playoff … Continue reading
If you haven’t already caught wind of the news, let me catch you up. It has been well-known that Clemson plans to keep pace with ever improving, ultra-competitive ACC by building a basketball-only practice facility across from Littlejohn Coliseum. An official rendering of what it may looks like is shown below. New practice facility for … Continue reading
