Here's his little take on the ACC from this past weekend......
ACC
There was a point this season when evidence seemed to be piling up that, for the first time in a long time, the ACC was something more than "Clemson and everyone else." Well, here we are, five weeks into the season, and it's Clemson ... and everyone else.
The Tigers made an emphatic statement on Saturday, destroying Georgia Tech 73-7. And after shaking off a little early-season rust, they have looked every bit the part of a national championship team. It's always a good sign when you give your punter a little work at QB in the fourth quarter.
The rest of the league? Notre Dame struggled with Louisville. Pitt lost its third straight. And North Carolina was dealt a crushing blow in a loss to lowly Florida State. Yes, the second tier of the ACC still is far better than it was in 2019, and perhaps one of those teams makes some strides as the season progresses; but the clear scenario on Saturday was that Tier 1 of the league remains a lonely place for the Clemson Tigers. -- David Hale
I found that the last paragraph contained that "special ESPN love" for FSU even though they upset the #5 team in the country... Ain't no hate like ESPN hate.....
