Follow @Ryan_Kantor We’re at halftime of the college football season, and it’s amazing (and sad) how quickly it flies by! We wait eight months and then blink and it’s already at the midway point. In first half of the year, the ACC enjoyed some marquee wins with Clemson knocking of then #5 UGA and Miami … 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
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
As a follow-up to my previous post arguing for the need to realign the ACC divisions, we will now look at which of those programs appear poised for the most success over the next five to 10 years. From one to 14, here’s how I see the ACC programs stacking up. I attempted to remove … Continue reading
Now that I got what I wanted with Louisville replacing Maryland in the ACC (a big upgrade), I’ve have more on my ACC Christmas list, the perfect divisional alignment.

Before the season started, a guest blogger and I wrote Clemson football season previews. With the first quarter of the year now complete, it is time to review, and then examine what lies ahead. Clemson began their journey to a 3-0 start with a telling win in Atlanta, versus Auburn. Against the SEC West foe, we learned that … Continue reading
Of all 120 FBS football programs, Clemson’s year-to-year results may be the most unpredictable. An up-and-down championship season in 2011, makes 2012 even tougher to predict than usual, but here is my best effort. Clemson Football 2012 Clemson returns a bevy of talented skill players to what was one of the most potent offenses in … Continue reading
While sitting in Great Clips today, I read an article about FSU and the rest of the ACC becoming woefully irrelevant after Oklahoma beat Florida State in Doak Campbell. Of course, the writer didn’t have the benefit of watching the next five weeks of football before writing the article, as I did before reading it, … Continue reading
Along with watching Clemson down FSU in Death Valley, and jump to 13th in the AP poll, I saw Moneyball in theaters this weekend. I had already read the book and wrote one blog post about the book and another about the theory and style of play as a guest blogger on LenNY’s Yankees. Here are my thoughts … Continue reading
