## Resource

Miami Hurricanes enter the ACC football season as favorites, but can Darian Mensah and his squad finally get over the hump, or will Louisville, SMU, or Clemson crash the championship party? The ACC Squad debates which two teams will punch their ticket to Charlotte, spotlighting top contenders like Isaac Brown and Kevin Jennings, and examining vital matchups set to shape the playoff race. Key storylines include bold predictions for the ACC’s Heisman chances, the impact of transfers and injuries—like Jennings’ infamous hand injury—and the ever-present SEC bias. Riveting discussions cover pivotal games such as SMU vs. Louisville, Miami at Clemson, and Duke’s return trip to face Mensah and the Hurricanes. As preseason polls stir controversy and playoff aspirations soar, the hosts break down each team’s path and question if the ACC can sneak two or even three programs into the College Football Playoff.
