## Resource

ACC football faces a seismic shift as talk of a 24-team College Football Playoff heats up. Is this massive expansion a win for the sport, or just a cash grab that threatens classic rivalries and dilutes the value of regular season matchups? The ACC Squad debates the true motivations behind playoff growth and spotlight the risk of losing college football’s unique intensity. UNC’s stunning fall continues as Bill Belichick’s regime fails to deliver—no Tar Heels picked in the NFL Draft, sparking questions about his fit and future in Chapel Hill. Shifting to basketball, Duke emerges as the clear ACC favorite, but can Miami, Virginia, or a resurgent Florida State disrupt Jon Scheyer’s dominance? The squad breaks down transfer portal shakeups, NIL dynamics, and why tournament experience may decide who rules the ACC hardwood next season.
