Basketball Conference: The Acc Football Podcast

With Mike out on paternity leave, Joey jumped on to give some thoughts on a couple of particularly newsworthy recent developments: As we've previously discussed was a possibility, the ACC announced an update to their football scheduling model beginning in 2023! Let's talk about what it looks like, why it's a good thing, and some odd quirks for the announced matchups. USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten -- here's why that matters for the ACC and its fans. All of this, and MORE!

Mike and Joey are back, kicking off Season 7 with a look at the win totals for every team in the ACC, and some early picks (before we've properly previewed them all). Lots of these win totals are pretty on-point with our expectations -- but which ones offer some betting value? Join us in getting an initial feel for every team in the ACC this fall! PLUS, the guys go over some housekeeping, in particular about the upcoming preview season and why it will look very different from prior seasons. All of that, and much more!

We're wrapping up Season 6 with an in-depth look at the NC State Wolfpack, as we're joined by long-time listener and Raleigh resident Derek Taylor! We discussed all sorts of things surrounding NC State, including: With all of the big-name players that have come through Raleigh, how has the team only managed one double-digit win season in its entire history?? NC State shares the state of North Carolina with three other Power-5 programs -- how does that impact their perception? North Carolina has a lot of high school football talent, but recruiting in-state kids is a little more complicated than you'd think... How is Dave Doeren's relationship with his boss an unusual one in college football? All of this, and much, much more on the Season 6 finale, and our newest episode of Tell Us About Your Team!

The guys got back together to talk about some recent news updates surrounding ACC football, INCLUDING: The NCAA dropped a new ruling that no longer requires conferences to organize by divisions, paving the way for the ACC to ditch the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions in football and put in a much more rotational "3-5-5" scheduling model. Is this a good thing? We've got some preseason ACC Championship odds to discuss, and you may be interested in a few teams at the numbers they're getting... Two different ACC transfer candidates have given us updates that felt very worthy of discussion, for very different reasons. We close with a listener question about the legality of NIL-funded walk-ons -- and the answer might surprise you! All of this and MORE!

The guys got together to continue the Tell Us About Your Team series, this time welcoming on Kevin Carpenter to tell us about his Boston College Eagles. We talked to Kevin about the things that make Boston College the way that it is: The Eagles are relatively historically successful (beyond what you might realize)... Is the perception of being a college sports team in a pro sports-focused town accurate? How does geography impact Boston College's ability to keep up with other schools' facilities? The Eagles are in a particularly critical era as it relates to the school's administration following some recent turnover...

The guys got back together, inspired by some recent events involving Jordan Addison's election to transfer out of Pittsburgh for "professional development". They had a long discussion about the state of affairs in college football, what it means for their own interest in the sport, and potential solutions for how to fix it. Then, they went through and recapped the ACC's 21 picks in the NFL Draft, including a couple who fell past their projections and one major snub. All of this, and more!

The guys got back together to work through a backlog of questions from listeners that have been received over a couple of months' worth of time, INCLUDING: Will there come a point where head coaching salaries are reduced due to the relative impact that schools' NIL collectives have on recruiting and on-field results? Mario Cristobal is compared to one of his recent predecessors....but why is this time different? Dabo Swinney has a couple of interesting approaches at Clemson that basically don't apply anywhere else. How related are they? If Georgia Tech wins 3 games for the fourth straight season under Geoff Collins, which games will those 3 wins come in? All of this, and MORE!

After a month-long hiatus, the guys are back and ready to kick off the Tell Us About Your Team series that was promised this offseason. We started in the most obvious place, learning about the 'Hoos of UVA following Joey's takes on the last episode about Tony Elliott being set up to fail in Charlottesville. We welcomed on Chris Grondin, a listener of Basketball Conference and a student in the Cavaliers' student body, to talk all things that make UVA what they are, including: Internal state politics between Virginia and Virginia Tech How UVA's high academic standing (and standards) impact the team's ability to recruit Does the success of the men's basketball program impact the football team positively or negatively? And finally, we got a rebuttal from Chris on Joey's take about Tony Elliott failing, with some great points coming from the fan of someone who follows the program as closely as he does. All of this, and much, much more on our very first episode of Tell Us About Your Team! Want to be on the ne

The guys are back, ready to drop some hot (warm? lukewarm? room temperature? downright cold?) takes about a few different ACC programs, INCLUDING: As promised, Joey has a strong opinion about Virginia's hiring of Tony Elliott, and it's where we'll kick off this episode. Mike saw some recent news, and it's made him reconsider who has the top coaching staff in the ACC. Finally, Clemson has been the ACC's top program over the last several years, but Joey wonders -- are their best days yet to come? All of this, and MORE!

Our 2021 Bowl Previews wrap up with a look at the action that's set to happen (and more that was *supposed* to happen) on New Year's Eve, INCLUDING:  Wake Forest is taking on Rutgers in the Gator Bowl after Texas A&M had to back out of the game due to COVID issues. Now, they'll face a 5-7 Scarlet Knights team that was doing....what, exactly, for the few weeks between the end of the season and the announcement they'd be in this game? Miami had to drop out of the Sun Bowl, and has been replaced by a directional Michigan team. All of this, plus our final picks and VanGorderCoin wagers of the year, and MORE!

Our bowl previews continue, as we look at a pair of interesting matchups on December 30: North Carolina renews their rivalry with South Carolina in the Mayo Bowl, and there's not much reason to expect a lot of defense to be played in this game. Pittsburgh takes on Michigan State in the Peach Bowl, missing one key piece that makes this game a lot easier to predict. All of this, plus spread picks, VanGorderCoin wagers, and MORE!

The guys got back together to continue previewing the ACC's bowl lineup, but started with some updates on three ACC teams who were previously scheduled to play in bowl games that have since had their participation cancelled. After that, the discussion got into the December 29 bowl games, INCLUDING: Virginia Tech takes on Maryland in a game where anyone pretending to know what will happen prior to kickoff is almost certainly lying. Clemson faces off with Iowa State in an interesting, fun game where one side should definitely be favored....but which one? All of that, plus VanGorderCoin wagers, and MORE!

The guys are back with another pair of bowl previews, this time looking that the ACC games set to take place on Tuesday, December 28. Louisville heads to Dallas for a First Responder Bowl matchup against the Air Force Falcons. Why is this a particularly important game for the "give a damn" factor, and why will it be such a fun TV show? NC State travels to San Diego, where they'll take on UCLA in the Holiday Bowl at (home of the Padres) Petco Park. This is an extremely evenly-matched game that comes down to one critical matchup -- so who wins? All of this, plus the return of VanGorderCoin wagers, and MORE!

The Eagles got some good news since the end of the season from multiple players who announced their returns to Chestnut Hill in 2022 -- did those decisions make sense? How do they impact this bowl game? Ultimately, who wins? Use promo code "GOACC" for 10% off your first order of premium, great-looking, officially-logo'd Georgia Tech gear at Section103.com!

We're in between the end of the regular season and the start of bowl season, but there's still a ton of ACC-related content to catch up on! The guys got together to discuss a lot of recent news, including: UVA hires Tony Elliott as its next head coach -- how do we feel about the hire, and what does it mean for Dabo Swinney and Clemson? Duke hired former Wake Forest DC Mike Elko as its next head coach -- why did that move catch us off-guard, and how long-term do we expect him to be in place? Multiple assistants have departed ACC programs for greener pastures in the last week or so, and neither program is likely to be better off for it. We had multiple listener questions/inputs to follow-up on!

With the ACC Championship Game in the books, the guys got together to recap the game and celebrate the Panthers winning a conference title, before getting into some coaching updates, INCLUDING: Manny Diaz has been relieved of his duties as head coach at Miami, and seems to be getting replaced by Oregon's Mario Cristobal. Is this....actually going to work? Clemson DC Brent Venables is also on the move, creating a lack of stability for Clemson this offseason that they haven't had to deal with in a LONG time. Mike gives some of his thoughts on Bronco Mendenhall's departure from Virginia. Georgia Tech has its new OC, and it's something of a familiar face -- Joey reacts and gives his take on how it will impact the Geoff Collins regime.
