It might be considered 'beating a dead horse' to continue harping on how much parity NIL and the Transfer Portal has brought to college football. The thing is, it's a solid truth as evidenced by the up's and down's in every conference. You see it every week in the scoreboards, the number of upsets, overtime games and an unreal number of Top 25 teams showing themselves the exit or disappearing altogether. College football is a blast...

What is ACC football? A wild adventure every week that feels a bit like the movie, 'Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle'. Parity has kicked in and there are more teams than ever before capable of fighting for a spot among the top tier of the conference. Granted this weekly topsy-turvy field of fun may not sit well with some fanbases (depending on the week) the most amusing thing is watching national pundits try to disavow how exciting A...

ACC football has entered the back half of the regular season and the countdown to the conference championship and bowl eligibility has begun. Apparently there are still some surprises available in the weekly grab bag both from teams and individuals.
The shorter schedule, seven teams were on bye weeks, still presented some fun ball. The wow-factor kicked in with Pitt and their true freshman QB Mason Heintschel who battled it out...

College football across the board was wild and wooly. From upsets to close calls it was a pucker up weekend for fans. The ACC began it's weekend with a Friday night clash of leaders in offensive delivery as Florida State visited Virginia for a game that, on paper, sure seemed like a shoe-in for the Noles. As the clock wound down the slipper found on the stairs belonged to the Wahoos.

Will and Jim start off with some interesting news on added games for the future, thoughts on the ACC Network and The CW and reflect on why Clemson fans who are calling for Dabo's head should take a chill pill with a big swig of Upstate's finest shine.

What would ACC football be without some WT* games each week? Far less entertaining and this week was a blast on many levels. There were some sluggish performances, some games on hyper-drive and plenty of play that leaves folks scratching their heads. Will and Jim run them all down for you and share some observations from each in this review of week 2 on ACC Nation.

What exactly should we take away from week 1 of ACC football? It's pretty simple. Jim puts on his Captain Obvious hat and guides us all back to reality and away from knee-jerk reactions. Will provides insight into the positives and a few negatives as well of each team's performance. Can things improve? Certainly but the question of will they is still up in the air. Patience grasshopper.

What exactly is it going to take to bring back the confidence and swagger once found in Florida State football? Head coach Mike Norvell has a monumental challenge on his hands, some created by him and a lot that hasn't been. The Seminoles want, need to get back on track and there's no better way than to be aggressive out of the chute with a huge first game matchup.

Pigeonholing a football team like Wake Forest based on previous performance would be short-sighted. It's been easy over the years to simply synopsize but now it's approaching fool-hardy to not do your homework. We can all agree that NIL and the Transfer Portal have flipped college football on it's head. There's still some lack of equality but plenty of room for the creative.

The answer to that question for Virginia football fans lies within this episode of ACC Nation with Will and Jim as Brad Franklin of CavsCorner previews the Wahoos. We're hearing it more and more with ACC football previews, the number of players coming in from the portal is making it difficult to keep up with everyone. That ultimately leads to, how can anyone know with any certainty what that team or for that matter how any team wil...

Consistency is the key to success in any sport and without a doubt Duke has been pretty darned consistent in hoops. The same hasn't been the case in football which has seemed like an after thought in years past. Times change and the need to be successful on the field as well as the court go hand in hand. Mike Elko helped move the program out of the 'it's just good enough' phase and now Manny Diaz is upping the game.
