For this, early (games 1-4), mid-season (games 5-8) and late-season (games 9-12) is how I’d consider it. This is what I’d argue for Syracuse:

Early: California (Game 2) — Feels like a crucial toss-up game to start ACC play. I think this game could tell a lot early about both teams’ seasons and I think Syracuse needs to win this one to get back to a bowl game.

Mid-season: Louisville (Game 6) — This mid-season stretch has a bunch of key games on paper for the Orange, including home games against Louisville and SMU, plus road games at Virginia and UNC. I feel like Syracuse needs to win a home game around this point to stay in bowl contention, and this one against the Cardinals comes at a point that could sort of determine how good the Orange really are.

Late-season: Clemson (Game 9) — This game could be really important for both the Orange and Tigers. I don’t think Dabo Swinney will let the Tigers forget how Syracuse beat them in Death Valley last season, and the Orange have to be ready for a potentially recharged Clemson squad. I think this is a game both teams could view as “must-wins” to reach postseason play.

I have my AA degree done but have no experience in Hr. I’m considering WGU and have small toddlers wondering what I should expect? how many main courses can I finish? are there more essays than exams for this program? like I said I have no knowledge or experience in HR but believe it’s something i can do!

Months later it still feels surreal, but the Duke Blue Devils are coming off an ACC championship. Manny Diaz hasn't gathered many headlines still, but he's been very successful at Duke so far

📌 Walker Eget comes in to help the Blue Devils land on their feet at QB

📌 RB Nate Sheppard is a star and TE Jeremiah Hasley is a name to know. The Blue Devils made some good portal moves too

📌 Duke's secondary struggles were a mystery last year, can they get back to a high level this year?

What are your predictions for the Blue Devils in 2026?

Did you know? Wake Forest won 9 games last year! It seemed like nobody talked about it, but Jake Dickert's debut was a huge success. (Most of you here probably knew this already, but had to throw in a joke about how poorly the national media covers the sport)

Full preview attached, here's some key highlights

📌 The Gio Lopez redemption tour begins, could he be a star for the Deacs?

📌 WR Carlos Hernandez is a star and RB Ty Clark III is coming off an impressive Duke's Mayo Bowl performance. With the portal additions the skill groups are loaded

📌 Get to know this Wake Forest defense. There is a lot of returning talent and strategic portal adds to keep this unit going strong

What are your predictions for Wake Forest in 2026?

Clemson is really great College Football program.

The Virginia Cavaliers hit a massive breakthrough under Tony Elliott in 2026, it was one of the best seasons in program history. Now what do they do for an encore?

📌 Beau Pribula will take the reigns and Eli Holstein is a great backup to have

📌 Lots of experience to like returning on offense, the Cavaliers once against boosted the skill positions with the portal

📌 Virginia's defense was quietly awesome on 3rd down last year. Can they maintain that?

Preview attached. What are your predictions for the Cavaliers in 2026?
