Basketball Conference: The ACC Football Podcast

We're preparing for a particularly busy week in the ACC, as Mike and Joey are back to preview games featuring all 14 ACC teams exclusively playing in conference matchups, most of which have extremely close spreads. Syracuse tries to rebound from a tough loss to NC State by hosting Pittsburgh and trying to score on a talented, solid Panthers' defense, while Clemson travels to Louisville in an attempt to cure their early-season woes away from home. Elsewhere, North Carolina heads to Blacksburg with hopes of spoiling Virginia Tech's Homecoming game, and Florida State heads to Winston-Salem as Wake Forest tries to lock up bowl eligibility early. Georgia Tech heads to Miami in a revenge spot for the Hurricanes, Virginia tries to get right at home in a critical Coastal matchup against Duke, and Boston College begins their voyage into Life After Anthony Brown with a home contest against NC State. All of this, plus ACC Picks of the Week, and MORE!

The guys are back again, recapping a week that only further called into question who's the best team in the ACC not named Clemson. Miami took down #20 Virginia on Friday night in a game where the Cavaliers looked as bad as they have all season. Meanwhile, #19 Wake Forest lost a wild shootout at home on Saturday evening to a resurgent Louisville team that....seems like a lock to make a bowl game now? Elsewhere, #2 Clemson seemed to get right as they hammered Florida State, NC State took down Syracuse in a difficult-to-watch game on Thursday night, Duke handled Georgia Tech and put the game away in decisive fashion in the first half, while Virginia Tech had another ho-hum victory over an inferior team, this time against Rhode Island. All of that, plus awards, and MORE!

Week 7 Preview is live with a special guest LIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEE from Miami (Cam Underwood from SB Nation's State of the U). We talk about the latest Hurricanes debacle at the hands of the Virginia Tech Hokies and where The U goes from here. We then dive into our Week 7 preview including Miami's match-up with Virginia, Louisville's quest for bowl eligibility, Virginia Tech trying to gain some momentum, and more!

Week 6 may have only featured four games in the ACC, but these games were jam-packed with wild moments and finishes that will make the week stack up as one of the most bizarre of the whole season. Virginia Tech, a week after getting blown out at home by Duke and a mere 14-point underdog, went to Miami and...won? Pittsburgh and Duke LITERALLY saw a combined 37 (!!!!) possessions and 10 (!!!!!!!!!!) turnovers, along with one of the craziest moments we've ever seen. Boston College and Louisville turned into a good, old-fashioned shootout -- and did so without either starting quarterback. Finally, North Carolina avoided the letdown and beat down Georgia Tech -- but it wasn't all bad for the Yellow Jackets. PLUS, awards, and much more!

It is a pretty light weekend for ACC football, as Duke and Pitt is the most interesting game of the weekend. Can that match-up decide the Coastal? 

That and more in our latest podcast.

We're back a little later than expected with our Week 5 Recap.

Uh....Clemson? Is UNC good? What in the world is happening in Blacksburg to Virginia Tech? Florida State looking functional for four quarters!!

And whaddya know?! Wake Forest is 5-0 and officially ranked. Here come the STEAMIN' DEACS

Week 5 is upon us, and Mike and Joey are back to preview all of the action! The festivities start on Friday night, as Duke travels to Blacksburg and will likely cause a LOT of issues for Mike's Hokies. Virginia heads out on the road to take on Notre Dame in what should be the game of the day -- can the Cavaliers keep this one close, or will the Irish completely run away with it as major favorites? Elsewhere, Dave Clawson and the WHITE CLAW-fense travel to Chestnut Hill, where they'll face a Boston College team who's been...inconsistent at best so far this year. Georgia Tech's new head coach Geoff Collins and his staff travel back to Philadelphia to take on the Temple team that many of them previously coached -- what could possibly go wrong?!? Plus, Clemson at North Carolina, NC State at Florida State, ACC Picks of the Week, and much more!

With some questions building in the inbox, Mike and Joey get together to talk about several things asked by the listeners. How does the Coastal Division stack up against other divisions in Power-5 conferences right now? Is North Carolina already showing some "softness" under Mack Brown? Is Virginia's current run of success sustainable? Plus, the guys address the odds that a few ACC coaches are real candidates at a pair of high-profile jobs that may be opening up later in the season. All of this and MORE!

Joey and Mike were really hoping for a calm, tame, uneventful Week 4 in the ACC, which unfortunately wasn't quite the case. On the bright side, Pittsburgh had one of the conference's surefire best out-of-conference wins of the year in upsetting UCF, Florida State was able to manage a win after blowing yet ANOTHER big lead, and Clemson and Wake Forest rolled over lesser opponents in big ways. However, Miami and Virginia struggled massively in games as big favorites, while Syracuse and NC State weren't nearly as sharp as we'd hoped they would be in comfortable wins. To top it all off, North Carolina lost to Appalachian State, and now we're really questioning who the Tar Heels actually are after a couple of early, seemingly-big wins. PLUS, the guys hand out awards from Week 4 (including a major first on the show), and MORE!

After an uncomfortable, frustrating Week 3 for the ACC, the conference has a couple of "marquee" games, but really has several teams back in action as big favorites at home against G5 and FCS teams. Louisville travels to Tallahassee, where the on-the-rise Cardinals take on the generally-unstable and largely-untrustworthy Seminoles in a game that's far more intriguing than we thought it would be in mid-August. Pittsburgh plays host to a buzzsaw UCF team that won big in Orlando against the Panthers last year. Meanwhile, North Carolina is a small favorite against former NC State OC Eli Drinkwitz and his feisty App State program, while the DUDES of Boston College REALLY TRY NOT TO MESS IT UP THIS TIME as a substantial road favorite against Rutgers. All of that, plus several ACC teams that are big favorites against G5 teams and CERTAINLY WON'T MESS IT UP THIS TIME (looking at you, NC State). PLUS, Mike and Joey make their official ACC Picks of the Week.
