Basketball Conference: The Acc Football Podcast

After receiving several listener questions and having lots to talk about after only 4 weeks, the guys put together a BONUS podcast episode for this week responding to all of it. Topics included: Plenty about how unimpressive Florida State has been! Who wins the ACC given how Clemson has looked? Players from other teams that would be great additions to the guys' own teams All of that, plus a look at what the issues are that the conference currently faces pertaining to its reputation, and MORE!

The guys got together to recap an extremely eventful and meaningful Week 4 of ACC action including: NC State put Clemson out of its misery with a 27-21 victory in overtime, handing the Tigers their first loss to an unranked team in four years...where do these teams go from here, and what does this mean for the rest of the conference. Georgia Tech put a solid beatdown on North Carolina in the second half, giving Geoff Collins his first win over a ranked opponent as the Yellow Jackets' head coach. Is this just one good performance, or a sign that Georgia Tech is turning a corner? Also, what's wrong with North Carolina? Boston College and Syracuse both got major upset out-of-conference wins this weekend -- should we be reconsidering how we view those teams? After a dominant win over Virginia...is Wake Forest the best team in the ACC? Plus, we recap Bowling Green's enormous upset over Minnesota, give out weekly awards, have a few questions about the ACC moving forward, and MORE! Use promo code "GOACC" for

Mike and Joey got back together to preview the ACC's upcoming Week 4 action, INCLUDING: Wake Forest heads to Charlottesville to take on Virginia on Friday night in a matchup of two teams that might quietly be some of the best in the conference right now. Clemson's been shaky early, and it's led to them being an oddly small favorite on the road against an NC State team that could be almost literally anything at this point. Georgia Tech tries to follow-up their near-miss in Death Valley last week by hosting North Carolina at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Can the Jackets avoid the letdown and string together a second straight solid performance against good competition? Duke is an enormous favorite against Kansas. That's it, that's the tweet.

The guys are back to recap a busy and eventful Week 3, including: Louisville took down UCF in a wild, fun barnburner of a game on Friday night that could end up being a critical win for their coaching staff and program. Virginia Tech probably should have beaten West Virginia, if only they could have converted in the red zone. Miami looks dreadful so far and got blown out by Michigan State -- what does this mean for Manny Diaz? Joey could not be more proud of Georgia Tech for their performance against Clemson, but could be A LOT happier with the television broadcast. Pittsburgh laid an egg and lost to Western Michigan, extending their absurd streak of seasons without going undefeated against out-of-conference opponents. North Carolina looked MUCH better than two weeks ago and beat a salty Virginia team...are the Tar Heels back on track to win the Coastal Division? All of this, plus weekly awards, and MUCH more!

The guys are back, previewing all of the ACC's Week 3 action, including: Virginia Tech is ranked and undefeated, and yet they're an underdog on the road against an unranked West Virginia team? Something stinks here. Joey picked North Carolina to win the Coastal, Mike picked Miami, and neither is particularly confident in their selected champions this week. Did Georgia Tech's coaching staff learn anything after last year's obscene beatdown at the hands of Clemson? Things have gotten so dire, so quickly for Florida State that even Joey can't pick them against Wake Forest.

We knew that Week 2 in the ACC would include someone losing to an FCS team....we just didn't know who, when, or how. Well... Florida State lost in excruciatingly painful fashion, and we should really start to question what we thought we knew about them at this time last week. Pittsburgh scored more points than Tennessee did on Saturday, which was good, but their overall performance left a few things to be desired. NC State lost convincingly to an average Mississippi State team, leaving us wondering exactly how that happened. Miami just barely found a way to survive against App State. Boston College won the battle against UMass, but may have lost the war in losing Phil Jurkovec for an extended period following a wrist injury. All of that, plus weekly awards, a couple of listener questions get answered, and MORE!

The guys are back previewing Week 2 in the ACC, as the conference looks to follow-up a less-than-ideal Week 1 by getting back on track with a full slate of out-of-conference games, including: - Pittsburgh is only a slight favorite in Knoxville against a really underwhelming Tennessee fan -- the Panthers are going to dominate here...right?!? - NC State heads to Starkville for a really interesting matchup against Mike Leach's Mississippi State team, where the Wolfpack will try to contain the Bulldogs' Air Raid offense. - Can Miami and Virginia Tech avoid the huge emotional letdowns in matchups they should win comfortably? - The ACC has 6 games against FCS opponents this week, including two that could legitimately end up as fireable offenses if the ACC squad were to lose....so, is anyone losing this week?

The guys got together to recap the action from an eventful Week 1 in the ACC, including: Clemson's loss to Georgia might just point to a little bit more mortality from them than we've seen in recent years. The issue with Miami's loss to Alabama isn't the "what", it's the "how". Florida State looked SIGNIFICANTLY improved in an overtime loss to a high-caliber Notre Dame team. Virginia Tech's win over North Carolina taught us quite a bit about both programs and what they'll be capable of this year. Georgia Tech lost to Northern Illinois, and Joey's pretty much done with the Geoff Collins era. Lots of teams in the conference took care of their business and won comfortably!

At long last, it's time to talk about actual football as the 2021 ACC Football season gets started! We previewed all 13 (!!!) games on this weekend's slate involving ACC teams, including: North Carolina visits Virginia Tech to kick off conference play within the ACC, and there's plenty of good reason that the spread projects this game to be as close as it does... Clemson takes on an extremely talented georgia team in Charlotte in a game that should set the tone for the rest of the season and the chase for a College Football Playoff berth....unless it doesn't? Miami gets a shot at taking down Alabama, and we're here to tell you why this game may well be closer than you think. Georgia Tech is an 18-point favorite against literally anyone, and yet that's not as crazy as it sounds after the last couple of years. Plus, another new pick-tracking game, Mike's got a LOT of pent-up locks he needs to get out, other picks we're interested in this weekend, and much more! Use promo code "GOACC" with a minimum $100

With our team previews wrapped up, it's time for one last look at the conference as a whole before we jump in to Week 1 action. We take a look at: What are our takes on each team's win total? More importantly, which ones are we interested in betting? Who wins each division, who takes home the conference crown, who wins Coach and Player of the Year, and....how many jobs are coming open this year? What are the exact standings in each division?

We wrap up our Season Previews series with a look at the Duke Blue Devils in 2021, with some help from our friend Steve Wiseman (@stevewisemanNC) of the Herald-Sun and the Raleigh News-Observer. There was plenty to discuss, including: Is it time for Duke and David Cutcliffe to go their separate ways, and if not, what type of season would expedite that divorce? Will Gunnar Holmberg be able to limit turnovers better than Chase Brice did in 2020? There's no clear returning star on the defensive line -- but that's not a problem, historically, in Durham.

As we near the end of our Season Previews series, we brought on Matt Carter from The Wolfpacker (@TheWolfpacker) on the Rivals network to preview NC State's upcoming 2021 campaign. We hit on various topics of note in Raleigh, including: Perceptions and narratives around Dave Doeren and the Wolfpack program are all accurate, depending on how you want to frame them. What's the ceiling for this offense (with all of its returning production) if Devin Leary is able to stay healthy for the entire season? Just how good can this defense be, even after the loss of Alim McNeil up front? All of that, plus a look at a workable schedule, record predictions, and MORE!

We continue our Season Previews with a look at Mike's Hokies, as we're joined by his ESPN Blacksburg colleagues Paul VanWagoner (@PaulVWags) and Andrew Alix (@AndrewAlixRadio) in one of the most ambitious crossover events of all time. There was a ton to discuss, INCLUDING: What will it take this year for Justin Fuente to keep his job, following a postseason press conference where the AD announced he wouldn't be fired last year? Braxton Burmeister is an impressive athlete, but can he refine his passing enough to ensure balance within the Hokies' offense? Is this the best receiving corps in the ACC? Year 1 under Justin Hamilton saw the defense struggle but also show flashes of greatness -- can they be more consistent in Year 2? PLUS, a look at a schedule that could go a variety of different ways, record predictions, references to wrestling, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Our Season Previews continue, as we're visited by the incredible Lauren Brownlow (@LEBrownlow) of 99.9 The Fan and WRALSportsFan.com to preview the Tar Heels in 2021. The media's preseason favorite in the Coastal still has questions to answer though, including: What development is needed from Sam Howell to keep up the offensive production? Just how important is Tennessee RB transfer Ty Chandler to the offense this year? Can the defense put it all together in Year 3 under Jay Bateman? PLUS, a somewhat tricky schedule, win predictions, who's got UNC heading to Charlotte, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify! Follow us on Twitter and Instagram!

We're coming down the stretch of our Season Previews series, as this time we visit with Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) from The Drive on 93.9 The Ville to discuss the ACC's newest members as they attempt to bounce back from a tough 2020 campaign, including: Scott Satterfield and his staff didn't follow up 2019's 8-5 finish particularly well, finishing 4-7, with Satterfield then getting caught interviewing for the South Carolina job. Is Scott Satterfield really already on the hot seat going into Year 3? Can Malik Cunningham take a significant step forward and reduce his turnovers to help elevate a new supporting cast of skill talent? Is Year 3 when the defense will finally start to really gel under Bryan Brown?

We continue our Season Previews series with a visit to Conor O'Neill (@ConorONeillFA) in Winston-Salem, as we preview the Steamin' Deacs in 2021: How long will Dave Clawson realistically stay at Wake Forest? Sam Hartman enters his ~16th year in the program, with most of his supporting cast returning. What does that mean for the Deacs' offense this fall? Does the schedule set up in a way that lends itself towards Wake making another bowl? All of this, plus record predictions, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

We continue our Season Previews with a look at Joey's Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, with some help in the form of a visit from JacketsOnline.com's Kelly Quinlan (@Kelly_Quinlan). We enter Year 3 of the Geoff Collins era on the Flats with much to discuss, including: We always knew it would take some time to rebuild Georgia Tech's offense after moving away from Paul Johnson's spread option scheme -- but how much longer should this realistically take? Jeff Sims had some major highs and lows in 2020 as a true freshman -- what will it take for him to take the next step this year? With lots of talent and continuity, will the secondary return to its 2019 levels of productivity, or continue the slump it saw in 2020? What's even a reasonable expectation record-wise against one of the toughest schedules in all of college football? All of that, plus record predictions, and MORE!

Our Season Previews series continues, this time with a visit from former Florida State fullback James Coleman (@BigGameJames_36). Following his former coach's passing, James reminisces for a while about some of his favorite memories and moments from playing for Bobby Bowden, before previewing the Noles' upcoming season, including: Mike Norvell has some major standards to live up to in Year 2, particularly considering how his predecessor was treated The QB situation in Tallahassee probably isn't as cloudy as we're being led to believe... Even with a difficult schedule, a bowl game is the bare minimum for this team. All of that, plus record predictions, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

We continue our season preview series with a visit to Charlottesville and our old friend Justin Ferber (@Justin_Ferber) from CavsCorner.com on the Rivals network, who helped us to preview the Cavaliers' 2021 campaign, including: - There are competing mindsets in the UVA fan base regarding whether to be optimistic about the Hoos' final record this year....so, which one is more right? - Bronco Mendenhall enters Year 6, having really impressed us and generally having outperformed expectations from when he was hired. - Will Brennan Armstrong and Wayne Taulapapa be able to take significant steps towards bolstering Virginia's rushing attack? (Aside from Armstrong's improv, of course...) - The defense gave up TONS of big plays in the passing game in 2020...why will (or won't) that improve?  All of that, plus a look at the schedule, record predictions, and MORE!  Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

Our team previews series continues with a visit to William Qualkinbush (@QualkTalk) of 105.5 The Roar in Upstate South Carolina, who's back discussing the six-time defending ACC Champions. There's plenty to discuss coming into this year, including: Trevor Lawrence is gone, but "DJU" stepped in for a couple of games last year and proved what he's capable of. With minimal depth behind him, will he be able to continue that level of production for a full season? Even with lots of offensive skill talent headed to the NFL, this is just looking like another reloading year for the Tigers on offense. Could this really be Clemson's best defensive line under Dabo Swinney? Should we all look at this as just a one-game regular season at this point?
