Basketball Conference: The Acc Football Podcast

Joey and Mike are back recapping a fascinating Week 10 in the ACC. Less than two full years after being hired in Tallahassee, Willie Taggart has been fired after the Seminoles got blown out at home by their hated rival Miami Hurricanes -- was that the right move? Who are some potential replacement candidates? Elsewhere, Bryce Perkins went OFF and led Virginia to a win over North Carolina, meaning the Cavaliers are squarely in control of the Coastal headed into the final month of the season. PLUS, Virginia Tech led Notre Dame after 59 minutes but was unable to finish the upset, Georgia Tech had major issues on offense against a stout Pittsburgh defense, weekly awards, and MORE! 

The guys are back, previewing just the latest in constantly weird weekends in the ACC. Miami and FSU renew their rivalry in Tallahassee, essentially as clones of each other this season, while Virginia and UNC play in a potential de facto ACC Coastal Championship Game with the Cavaliers on a major skid over the past 4 weeks. Elsewhere, Mike's Hokies make the trip to South Bend to take on Notre Dame, Joey's Yellow Jackets host Pittsburgh for Homecoming in Atlanta, and the NC State Wolfpack try to right the ship with a short road trip to take on Dave Clawson, the WHITE CLAW-FENSE, and Wake Forest. PLUS, ACC Picks of the Week and MORE!

The guys are back, recapping another weekend of ACC games that saw some wild finishes. Mike is back from his trip to Clemson, where he saw the Tigers in full-on "War Machine" mode making easy work of Boston College. Elsewhere, Louisville upset Virginia at home and has a legitimate case for being the second-best team in the ACC, while the Cavaliers continue to struggle on offense and have been reeling for several weeks. Duke and North Carolina had an ugly game with an equally ugly finish, Miami and Pittsburgh played a game as ugly and weird as we expected, and Florida State....just took care of business against Syracuse? All of that, plus weekly awards, and MORE!

It's another slate made purely of conference games this week, though Joey and Mike only have 5 games to preview this time as a few teams take their second bye weeks of the season. Virginia got right at home last week against Duke, but now has to go on the road and take on a feisty, improved Louisville team (who, in fairness, is coming off of their scheduled beating against Clemson) -- can the Cavaliers survive in this spot and stay on track to win the Coastal Division? Elsewhere, Miami is a 5-point underdog on the road against Pittsburgh in an absolutely awful spot...so, why are the guys both taking those points? PLUS, Duke and North Carolina square off for the Victory Bell, Florida State hosts a bad Syracuse team, and Clemson gets a visit from the DUDES (and Mike)! All of this, plus Picks of the Week, and MORE! 

Joey and Mike are back recapping another crazy week in the ACC, as Week 8 saw a SIX OVERTIME GAME between Virginia Tech and North Carolina, an 18-point underdog Georgia Tech team win outright against Miami, and an underdog Boston College team win by 3 touchdowns over NC State! PLUS, weekly awards are handed out, and MUCH MORE!

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. Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

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! Got a question to submit for our next Mailbag episode?

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.

Joey and Mike effectively have a group therapy session after one of the worst weekends for the ACC in recent memory. Joey's Yellow Jackets lost to The Citadel, losing to an FCS team for the first time since the early 1980's. Meanwhile, Mike's Hokies had an exceptionally poor showing against FCS Furman, trailing at halftime before finally winning by a mere 7 points. Meanwhile, Boston College got blown out by a terrible Kansas team at home, NC State lost by 17 to a bad, rebuilding West Virginia team, and Pittsburgh badly blew a remarkable opportunity to upset Penn State. Elsewhere, Clemson rolled over a potentially bad Syracuse team, Wake Forest hung on amidst controversy to beat North Carolina, and....is Louisville secretly one of the best teams in the conference? PLUS, weekly awards and more!

Joey and Mike are previewing all of the Week 3 action in the ACC, where there's not a lot we'd consider too particularly interesting -- but we also have to acknowledge that those are the types of weeks that get the wildest in college football. North Carolina and Wake Forest are playing in a non-conference game on Friday night, around the same time that Boston College takes on Les Miles' weak Kansas team. Pittsburgh finishes their home-and-home series with Penn State on Saturday, NC State finally takes on West Virginia (after last year's game was cancelled for a hurricane), Florida State takes their instability to Charlottesville for a matchup with Virginia, and Clemson travels to Syracuse to avenge their most recent Carrier Dome trip -- a 2017 loss to the Orange. All of this, and MORE!

Mike and Joey are back, recapping a strange Week 2 in the ACC. Clemson made quick work of Texas A&M, with the game never in doubt after last year's thriller in College Station. Florida State got out to a huge lead before surrendering it back AGAIN, this time to Louisiana-Monroe. Mack Brown's North Carolina won again, this time against a Miami team that Mike picked to win the Coastal! PLUS, Joey gives his take on Georgia Tech's ultra-weird offense in a close win over South Florida, Mike was unimpressed with Virginia Tech's effort in a win over Old Dominion, and much more!

After a really fun, exciting Week 1 in the ACC, Week 2 is going to be...a different kind of fun. Joey and Mike preview all of the action, including: Clemson faces their presumed toughest test of the year and is STILL a huge favorite over Texas A&M The master hosts the apprentice, as Mack Brown's UNC welcomes his old DC Manny Diaz's Miami to Chapel Hill for both teams' first conference game under their new head coaches Syracuse follows up a ho-hum win over Liberty with a trip to former ACC members Maryland, and....the Orange are underdogs???  A year after falling to the Bulls in Tampa, Georgia Tech hosts USF looking for win #1 under Geoff Collins Pittsburgh looks to get right with a home game against a feisty Ohio team There's also lots of other games, that collectively barely warrant a full bullet point All of this, plus ACC picks of the week and MORE!

The guys are back, recapping a fun Week 1 in the ACC that saw several really good games. Florida State blew a huge lead to Boise State in an impromptu home game and may have Willie Taggart squarely on the hot seat, Boston College looked really impressive in outcoaching and outplaying Virginia Tech, Virginia started off their attempted march to Charlotte with a win at Pittsburgh, and UNC and Wake got a pair of impressive out-of-conference wins against South Carolina and Utah State. Elsewhere, Clemson made quick work of Georgia Tech, Duke failed to hang with Alabama, and Syracuse looked great in an ultra-weird game against Liberty. All of this, plus our initial postgame awards of the year, and more!
