So, by now if you haven’t responded to the wild first two weeks of ACC football by saying, ‘What The Actual….’ then perhaps you’ve turned into a zombie. We’re doing our best to slip some Halloween references in before all the Christmas items hit the stores. Okay, time for a reality check on the ACC. You may remember us telling you on previous podcasts that the conference almost always turns upside down in opening weeks. The teams we expected to dominate and those we didn’t swap spots and fans everywhere lose their minds.
Even Paul Finebaum….wait, zombie…brains, never mind. Here’s a solid for you. Most teams in the conference get off to slow starts before finding their way a few weeks in. The rankings don’t mean diddle until about three to four weeks in and if you say you’re going to eat the contents of a solo cup if your team loses then you’re feet will be held to the fire. Just charge to watch so your medical bills will be covered.
Will and Jim roll through the games of Week 1 with observations and thoughts on performances. Essentially one game isn’t enough to give anyone a clear vision of how teams will be in the weeks to come. So, let’s not get too worked up. Is there room for improvement? Always and count of the coaches and players putting in the time to up their game.

The guys tie a bow in Week 1 ACC football with a look at the latest rankings. There’s some encouraging movement among the teams that won and Clemson hangs in there, rightfully so after a loss. Unfortunately, Florida State, with two back to back losses has completely departed the list of teams receiving votes this week. If Mike Norvell can steer the boat back into the channel the Noles can’t be discounted moving forward.
What’s on the agenda for Week 2 of ACC football? Some great matchups in and out of conference. The guys share some quick observations about these games and the odds. They finish up with an interesting look at two coaches included among the Top 8 most likely to be fired first and the ACC teams that are putting butts in the seats and those that aren’t.
