The #4 Florida State Seminoles look to defend their ACC title this Saturday night in Charlotte as they face Coastal Division champion Georgia Tech. Join Ryan Pensy, Brandon Mellor and Mike Sage for the best preview you will find online.

They also discuss the following:

• Is Florida State being used as a pawn to sell tickets for the College Football Committee? 
• What did the win over Florida say about FSU as a whole 
• Did off-field distractions finally catchup to Jameis Winston against Florida 
• Is it time for Nebraska and Michigan to have a reality check about their future and hiring a realistic coach

57 Days Until Kickoff

We are inside two months until the start of the 2013 college football season. Looking back to last season, I remember the ACC title game vividly.

Not only was I working the game, but I was desperate to see the Noles capture their first ACC title since 2005.  Florida State came out like gangbusters early.  But just as they did with NC State, the Noles took their foot off the pedal in the second half.

Thankfully Karlos Williams stepped up with the biggest play of his young career with a late INT, sealing the win for FSU.

What will the 2013 season bring?  In 57 days we will find out.

ACC Lands Six On Hornung Watch List

Clemson WR Sammy Watkins

Six Atlantic Coast Conference football standouts have been named to the 44-man 2013 preseason Watch List for the Paul Hornung Award which was released Friday by the Louisville Sports Commission.

The Paul Hornung Award, now in its fourth season, is given annually to the most versatile player in major college football by the Louisville Sports Commission and football legend and Louisville native Paul Hornung.

Selected from the ACC were Clemson junior wide receiver Sammy Watkins (Ft. Myers, Fla.), Georgia Tech junior defensive back Jamal Golden (Wetumpka, Ala.), Maryland sophomore wide receiver Stefon Diggs (Gaithersburg, Md.), Miami sophomore running back Duke Johnson (Miami, Fla.), Virginia Tech junior rover Kyshoen Jarrett (Tannersville, Pa.) and Wake Forest senior wide receiver Michael Campanaro (Clarksville, Md.).

So my question is why no love for Florida State?  Last time I checked Lamarcus Joyner is one of the top players in the ACC.
