Determining college baseball’s most powerful conference is an easy task — depending on who you ask, of course… The ACC is also loaded again, with Baseball America preseason No. 1 Virginia topping a lethal lineup that includes Florida State, North Carolina State, Clemson, North Carolina and Miami (Fla.) among likely top 25 finishers. “It’s kind […]
ACC BB Round-Up
The facepalm seems to have gained popularity during the pre-game reports and the results over the past week certainly deserve one (probably more than one). I could say a lot more, but I think that everything that could be said has already been covered in the half-dozen threads since last Sat. The regular season is […]
New ACC Tournament Format
With conference expansion swelling the ACC to 15 teams, the conference either had to pick a new tournament format or kick the bottom three teams out. I would have been OK with either decision, but the ACC is going to use the same tournament format as the one used by the Big East from 2009-2013. […]
Snowy ACC Update
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night can stop our weekly ACC updates. I hope that everyone stuck in what passes for a blizzard in the southeast is most of all warm and safe…followed closely by continuing cable/satellite and internet access. Just remember that you can’t fix stupid because I’m sure […]
ACC Mid-Season Review
Now that we’ve reached the half-way point in the conference schedule, you would think that we could divide the conference into the good, the bad, and the forgettable. But somehow over the last two weeks, various teams have managed to change directions and are blurring the cross over points between the expected groups. For starters, […]
Hard to Kill
Some things are really hard to kill…like Count Dracula or the silly notion that 20 wins means something special to the NCAAT Selection Committee. No matter how many times I have shot down the 20-win nonsense, it comes back every year. I’m beginning to fill like a vampire hunter with a rubber stake. In any […]
One Month In…
This update might get lost in the post-game threads, but let’s look at where the ACC stands after the first month of the conference schedule. We’ll start with the top 1/3 of the conference and the teams that are playing for seeding in the NCAAT tournament. Nothing earth-shattering going on here, but FSU is beginning […]
Mess in the Middle
In the latest update on the ACC, we’ll highlight what’s going on in the middle of the conference…otherwise known as the “mess in the middle”. Depending on the author, a picture is not always worth a 1000 words…but we’ll use one for the summary of both the middle of the ACC and where they are […]
ACC Update
In spite of State’s abysmal performance on Saturday, I decided to take a look around the ACC and see what has changed from the first look nearly two weeks ago. To change things up a little, I’m going to set aside my brilliantly succinct table format in favor of a series of graphs to summarize […]
2013 Preseason Review
Happy New Year to Wolfpack Nation. It is that time of year for black-eyed peas and cornbread, hang-over remedies, the final Bowl games, and one of my favorite hobbies….the Annual Bubble Watch. Born during the days of the Great Herb Debates, our long-time readers are familiar with these entries where we take RPI, conference record […]
