Another week of ACC Football, another round of Coastal Division Power Rankings

Week 12 was all about the crash and burn.

You know the sound. “Screeeeeeeech and boom.”

Or for the undoctrinated, this:

That is the sound many conferences heard this week.

In the Big Ten they heard the sound at Ohio State. At first it was for their season as Michigan State almost pulled the upset before inexplicably going for two with five minutes left.

The Buckeyes did send a sound bite to the CFP committee though. If Ohio State beats Michigan but doesn’t make the Big Ten Championship, the committee might have to crash and burn some other team’s chances.

In the Pac 12, they heard it at Washington State. Wazzu probably saw their slim playoff hopes crash and burn with their loss at Colorado. The Cougars could cause the conference to crash and burn though if they beat Washington this weekend and then win the PAC 12 next week.

In the Big 12, they heard it in West Virginia. The Mountaineers saw their season crash and burn as Oklahoma crushed them at home. Speaking of the Sooners, their season is all of sudden back in line after the country left them for dead back in week three.

Charlie Strong also heard the crash and burn sound as Texas lost to Kansas for the first time since 1938. And no that is not a typo. The broken coach was promptly fired Sunday evening.

In the SEC, they heard it in LSU. The Tigers had already fired one coach who couldn’t score points.

They will be looking at firing another such coach. Ed Orgeron’s team has just ten points in their last two home games. Alabama also sent a crash and burn tweet to the rest of America with their 31-3 thumping of Chattanooga.

In the land of ACC football, they heard in Louisville of the Atlantic Division. The Cardinals have been complaining all season about not getting respect. Well after the performance they put up in Houston they are complaining no more. Not only did Louisville’s season crash and burn in the 36-10 beat down, but so might have Lamar Jackson’s Heisman cushion.

Well that leaves just the ACC Coastal. So let’s get started.
