Who's ready for Week 2? Georgia Tech's matchup with Presbyterian came at the last minute. How did the ACC grade in Week 1? Not bad. Can Clemson running back Andre Ellington keep up this pace? Virginia is working to develop more depth. The...

It was a respectable Week 1, as I only missed two games -- Duke and NC State -- for an 8-2 record. I'm kicking myself for not going with my gut on the Blue Devils, and I will freely admit I had been drinking the Tom O'Brien Kool-Aid all summer. Much ...

Last week, the ACC went down the runway in a pair of Wranglers. Comfortable? Yes. Style points? No. Let's dress it up a little bit this week, shall we, guys? Week 1 was good but not great for the conference. NC State was outplayed by a faster T...

Here's a look back at Week 1 in the ACC: The good: Clemson's offense against Auburn. The Tigers were able to win without suspended superstar Sammy Watkins, as the trio of quarterback Tajh Boyd, running back Andre Ellington and receiver DeAndre Hop...

Here's a look at the lessons learned in the ACC in Week 1: 1. NC State isn't ready for the big stage. Yes, it's only the first week, and NC State typically looks like a different team in the second half of the season, but the ACC couldn't wait unt...

It was a weekend for running backs in the ACC. Here are your top five performers from Week 1 (sorry, they can't all be from Clemson): Clemson's offense: No Sammy, no problem. Andre Ellington ran for 231 yards and DeAndre Hopkins set a school recor...

Thanks to the sports information directors across the league for this week's notes ... BOSTON COLLEGE: At halftime against Miami, Boston College will retire the jersey of former running back Lou Montgomery (1941). He was the school's first African-A...

With all 12 teams playing in Week 1, including two conference games, there will be plenty to watch in the ACC, from Friday through Labor Day. Here are 10 things to keep an eye on, in no particular order: 1. NC State's secondary vs. Tennessee quart...

Ah, it's that time of year again. The time when you guys get to point and laugh when I am wrong, when you're shocked into silence when I'm right, and when 12 fan bases are convinced I always pick against their team. I heart predictions, don't you?...

Duke coach David Cutcliffe could field half a starting lineup with the number of players who are injured heading into Week 1. It's astounding, really, as 11 scholarship players will miss the season opener against FIU. Duke has previously announced...

Here's a quick look at what's on tap in the ACC in Week 1: FRIDAY Tennessee vs. NC State (in Atlanta), 7:30 p.m. ET, ESPNU: The Wolfpack will be without starting cornerback C.J. Wilson, but Tennessee will be missing all-SEC receiver Da'Rick Rog...

For those of you who followed the blog last year (thanks), you know this list is the Kiss of Death. Apologies in advance. More often than not, the teams that appeared in the weekly upset watch lost. Florida State-Virginia. Clemson-NC State. Nor...

It's early -- way too early -- to crown a Coastal Division winner ... isn't it? Not if history repeats itself. It's only the first week of the college football season, but the winner of the Georgia Tech-Virginia Tech game has gone on to win the d...
