On Monday I wrote about how this year's ACC schedule was more interesting and compelling than any of the nonconference games this year. That's not to say the nonconference schedule is filled with duds (only half of it is). There are still plenty o...

West Virginia wormed its way out of the Big East earlier than expected. In the process, it left Florida State in a real scheduling bind. One good thing to come out of the Mountaineers' move to the Big 12, though, is the fact that it set legal prec...

The final push and pleas for the nation's top recruits are coming to a close, and several ACC schools have a chance to finish strong on Wednesday. Which program will be the ACC's best closer on national signing day this year? Florida State checks ...

If you look at the Associated Press top 25, the USA Today poll, and ESPN.com's latest power rankings, Florida State checks in at No. 25. If you look at my poll, Notre Dame is No. 25, and has been for three of the past four weeks. Fortunately, t...

That was fast. Just how fast? Virginia coach Mike London and the Hoos cracked the top 25 of the Associated Press poll faster than George Welsh and Al Groh, according to the Charlottesville Daily Progress. The BCS standings determine the nati...

If you missed the chat earlier today, you missed a good debate: Which teams in the ACC have the best shot at becoming the ACC's next national title contender? On Monday, I wrote that Clemson and Florida State should be considered the front-runners be...

It wasn't a good weekend for the ACC. With Georgia Tech's loss to Virginia and North Carolina's loss to Miami, the ACC hurt itself in the polls more than it helped. Had UNC won, I know the Tar Heels would've gotten my vote in this week's Top 25. C...

When it comes to choosing the top two teams in the country, there is an unpredictable human element involved, as the Harris and USA Today coaches' polls account for two-thirds of the equation along with the computers (an average of six computer ranki...

Everyone keeps talking about the preseason expectations surrounding Florida State this year -- the media hype, the No. 6 ranking, the predicted first-place finish in the ACC media poll -- all votes of confidence that came from outside the program. ...

According to the poll, you guys want to see Notre Dame and Penn State join the ACC next. NC State linebacker Terrell Manning will miss three weeks with a knee injury. North Carolina released more documents pertaining to the NCAA investigation. ...

Nobody in the ACC has said the conference is further expanding to 16 teams. Commissioner John Swofford said he is not "philosophically opposed" to the idea, but that's as far as he'd take it. Maryland athletic director Kevin Anderson, though, s...

A good week for the ACC got even better when four teams -- Florida State, Virginia Tech, Clemson and Georgia Tech -- all appeared in the latest Associated Press Top 25. The USA Today Coaches' poll also included North Carolina. After an impressive ...

One of the hot topics on Tuesday's chat was whether Miami should bench any or all of the 15 athletes who are currently under investigation for accepting alleged improper benefits? Or should first-year coach Al Golden proceed as planned until otherwis...

The USA Today Coaches Poll was recently released, and Florida State was No. 5, followed by Virginia Tech at No. 13. Miami, North Carolina, Clemson, NC State and Georgia Tech also received votes. Here are the ACC coaches who help comprise the 59-m...

This was one of the closest poll races of last week, and the result in itself was a bit of a surprise. At last check, ACC fans voted Maryland as the team most likely to surprise us in 2011, but Boston College, Duke and Virginia were right on the Terp...

Last week we looked at which player in the ACC was the most difficult to replace and you had a chance to cast your vote. My vote: Virginia Tech quarterback Tyrod Taylor Making the case for Taylor: Taylor's impact went beyond the field and in th...
