Basketball Conference: The ACC Football Podcast

Mike and Joey got together to celebrate the return of the college football video game from EA Sports, talk about what to expect and when to expect it, as well as to discuss some of the features like they'd see in the game. From there, we reviewed the recruiting results following National Signing Day and why this year's results maybe aren't quite as indicative of future production as with most years. Finally, we close with a couple of mailbag questions encompassing everything from division-less structures, to the future of the ACC, to...ringtones?

With the ACC's 2021 schedule released on Thursday, the guys got together to review everyone's schedules as we begin looking towards the fall. How did everyone do in scheduling out-of-conference? Were they appropriately difficult? Way too easy? And then, who got screwed with bye weeks and away games? All of that, and MORE!

The guys are back, kicking off our team recaps series with a look at a fascinating Miami team. The Hurricanes had a roller coaster of a year in 2020, and we brought in Cam Underwood to take a look back and make sense of it all. What does the 2020 season say about Manny Diaz's program, and what changes are needed coming out? What's the latest on D'Eriq King, and what's the backup plan if he's not available? All of that, and much more!

With the season having come to an end, we're looking back at the predictions that we made in early September and assessing just how we did. Which teams did we have perfectly pegged, and which did we miss completely on (and why did we miss so badly)? Further, did our Player and Coach of the Year picks make sense in retrospect? We'll also go ahead and give our Offensive and Defensive POY awards, as well as our Coach of the Year award on the season. Finally, which teams are trending upwards and downwards headed into next season? All of this, and MORE!

Mike and Joey are back, for a special episode where they preview and discuss who they think will win the upcoming National Championship Game between Alabama and Ohio State, before diving into some listener questions, including:

- Which ACC programs do they have a "love-hate" relationship with?

- After a year of being an official part of the conference, should Notre Dame join the ACC full-time? Will they?

- Which programs have recently had to deal with a true "Year 0" in the ACC, and how does that affect expectations for the coaches accordingly?

- How would we reorganize the ACC from a divisional standpoint, and from a scheduling standpoint?

All of that, and MORE!

Mike and Joey got together to recap the ACC's bowl games, which...really could have gone better for the conference.

- Clemson shocked us both, not just losing, but by getting blown out by Ohio State. What went wrong for the Tigers, and what did the Buckeyes do to dominate the game so handily?

- Notre Dame lost to Alabama by 17, but never felt particularly threatening to win the game outright. What held the Irish back from being able to threaten Alabama, and how far are they away, realistically?

- A shorthanded North Carolina went toe-to-toe with CFP snub Texas A&M, and put together a really promising showing while coming up short late in the game. What does this mean for the Tar Heels headed into next year?

- Miami had every reason to quit after going down early against Oklahoma State and then losing D'Eriq King to injury, but was able to claw their way back and nearly completed the comeback to win. What should we learn from that, and how impactful is the King injury?

All of this, plus looks at the Gator and Mayo bowls, what comes next from Basketball Conference, and MORE!

The guys are back for one more round of bowl previews, this time looking at a pair of teams from North Carolina headed south for two of the most prestigious bowls with ACC ties, including:

- NC State takes on Kentucky in the Gator Bowl, and we're not entirely sure why the Wolfpack are the underdogs here....? Can Dave Doeren's team top off a really strong 2020 campaign with a bowl victory?

- Finally, North Carolina heads to South Beach to take on Texas A&M in the Orange Bowl. Will several key opt-outs spell doom for the Tar Heels, or might the Aggies struggle with motivation after missing out on the playoff?

The guys are back, getting you prepped for the College Football Playoff, which this year features ACC teams in both semifinal games, including:

- The good news? Notre Dame gets a shot at redemption after being blown out in the ACC Championship Game, in the Rose Bowl that's now being played in...Texas? Sure. The bad news? Notre Dame gets Alabama, who's scored a ton of points against everyone all year. Can the Irish keep up and knock off the Crimson Tide?

- For the third time in five years, Clemson meets Ohio State in the College Football Playoff semifinals. The first two saw the Tigers win, but in VERY different ways. Can the Tigers make it 3-0 over the Buckeyes, and which of the previous games will this resemble more?

- And while we're here....is Clemson being a constant Playoff entrant good for our enjoyment of ACC football?

All of this, and MORE!

We kick off bowl previews with a look at a pair of late December bowl games designed to get your diet back on track after an indulgent holiday season!

- Miami takes on Oklahoma State in Orlando in the Cheez-It Bowl, looking to get their postseason edge back following an embarrassing showing in last year's Independence Bowl. In a game where several of the teams' best players have opted out, who has the edge this year?

- Wake Forest meets Wisconsin in the Duke's Mayo Bowl in Charlotte, trying to punctuate a season that's seen mixed results for both teams. Will the Demon Deacons be able to hold up against a physically imposing Wisconsin team?

All of this, plus Picks of the Week, and MORE!

The guys are back, recapping Clemson's dominant win over Notre Dame for the ACC Championship. What were the keys to the game that caused the game to get so lopsided, and how was this different than these teams' first meeting in South Bend? Afterwards, we found out that both Clemson and Notre Dame will be in the College Football Playoff, despite some frustrating arguments from the college football community surrounding the whole selection process. Finally, a quick look at the ACC's Bowl lineup and matchups!
