You ain’t lived until you’ve had scrapple. Hooves and testicles have never tasted so good.

Offensive vs. Defensive success rates... Wake Forest trending into traditional Iowa territory while Iowa looks entirely normal. This is indeed a disturbing universe.

Remember some QBs, ACC edition!

Successful play rate differential vs. explosive play rate differential... ND is better than Miami, yes... but Miami still profiles as a playoff team.

Total BS. @sickoscommittee.org needs to talk to the editors at the Times.

Who's who...

2-loss teams... How would you rank them?
November 13, 2025 at 5:22 PM
Explosives vs. Successful plays... Even the quagmire of misery that is a trip to Iowa couldn't diminish what an outlier Oregon is.

Not only is @mattbrown.bsky.social the finest journalist covering alcohol sales at college football stadiums in all of America, he also makes a damn fine cutting board and will just send one to you if you ask nicely and seem like you might like chopping stuff. A+ human being.

SMU is selling signed pieces of goal post after beating Miami.

Q for show: What’s piece of ACC memorabilia do you wish you had?

My top 3:
-Doeren’s red solo cup
-original turnover chain
-Dabo’s cowboy hat

Well read best ones on the show… 3:30/ACCN

Oh.

Looking at successful play % and explosive play % differentials (+ successful plays by O vs D) and damned if FSU isn't looking a good bit like... Georgia and Alabama?

Explosive play differential vs. Successful play differential... Oregon in a class by itself. Louisville = Penn State. How is FSU on a 4-game losing streak?!? (ranked in bold in 1st chart)

Assuming a big portion of the crowd in Chapel Hill is late arriving due to needing some time to fully recover from the pregame Collective Soul show.
October 25, 2025 at 3:58 PM
ICYMI: Wake coach Jake Dickert joined us on Inside ACCess. We didn’t discuss his counterpart in Chapel Hill but boy his answer on building a team in Year 1 sure sounds a lot different than Belichick/Lombardi.

Offensive vs Defensive Success Rate... Oklahoma's defense is elite. Texas is meh. And... Clemson = Miami?
October 23, 2025 at 5:09 PM
Explosive play rate vs. successful play rate differentials, Week 8... We have a new clear-cut worst team. Congrats Rutgers!
October 20, 2025 at 4:16 PM
Got to thinking about this re: Venables and the "one score league" SEC vs. easier Big12... What's the data say?
Well, the ACC has:
* highest% of 1-score games
* highest% of 3-point games
* lowest avg margin of victory
* highest avg scoring

Successful Play Differential vs. Explosive Play Differential...

Dear God, Oklahoma State. What have you done?
