Our team previews series continues with a visit to William Qualkinbush (@QualkTalk) of 105.5 The Roar in Upstate South Carolina, who's back discussing the six-time defending ACC Champions. There's plenty to discuss coming into this year, including: Trevor Lawrence is gone, but "DJU" stepped in for a couple of games last year and proved what he's capable of. With minimal depth behind him, will he be able to continue that level of production for a full season? Even with lots of offensive skill talent headed to the NFL, this is just looking like another reloading year for the Tigers on offense. Could this really be Clemson's best defensive line under Dabo Swinney? Should we all look at this as just a one-game regular season at this point?

2021 Clemson Preview (feat. William Qualkinbush) - No Trevor Lawrence, No Travis Etienne...No Problem!

The guys continue the Team Previews series with a visit to Dan Rubin (@BCDanRubin) of BCEagles.com to preview year 2 of Jeff Hafley's tenure in Chestnut Hill, including: Phil Jurkovec put together an impressive first season after transferring from Notre Dame -- what worked so well, so quickly? In all, the Eagles' offense loses one important piece...and yet everyone's feeling great about improvement over last season. The offense took a major step forward in 2020, while the defense took a considerable step back -- is there reason for hope entering this season? It sounds a bit crazy, but....is an 11-1 finish TRULY on the table for Boston College? All of this, plus record predictions, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

2021 Boston College Preview (feat. Dan Rubin) - Continued Progress in Year 2?

Team previews resume, as this time we caught up with Nate Mink (@MinkNate) of Syracuse.com to talk about the Orange in 2021: - The on-field results over Dino Babers' tenure haven't been consistently great, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's on the hot seat heading into this fall. - Tommy DeVito is back...but not necessarily the returning starter? - Will the Orange defense continue to be a sore spot, or were there some subtle improvements last year to build on into this year? - How is it possible that the out-of-conference schedule went from relatively easy to relatively difficult in just 3 years?

2021 Syracuse Preview (feat. Nate Mink) - Regression to the Mean, or More of the Same?

With this week's rumors surrounding Texas and Oklahoma looking to leave the Big XII and supposedly join the SEC, we got together to quickly discuss what that would mean for the ACC. Is the ACC in danger now? Would schools potentially look to leave the ACC for another conference? If looking to add one or more teams, who might the ACC target?

EMERGENCY POD: How Conference Realignment would Affect the ACC

Our team previews series continues, as this time we visit with long-time friend of the program Jim Hammett (@JimHammett) from Panther-Lair.com to discuss Pittsburgh's interesting upcoming season, including: Pat Narduzzi enters Year 7 as the Panthers' head coach, still trying to break out from the 7-8 win per year rhythm the program has been in the whole time. It's time to ask the annual question -- is there heat on Narduzzi to show improved results this fall? The Panthers' out-of-conference schedule sets up in a way that may enable them to do something they haven't done in a long while, as Jim drops a not-so-great statistic that blew both of our minds. Kenny Pickett returns for his thirteenth and final season, and for his third year of working with OC Mark Whipple. Combined with a ton of returning talent on offense, can that duo finally make some magic in a way they haven't been able to do the past two years? The defense sees lots of turnover from some extremely talented players -- but that's also where Pittsburgh has recruited best over the past few years. Is this a defensive rebuild, or reload? All of that, plus a schedule that's either fortuitous or treacherous (depending on how you look at it), record predictions, and MORE! Rate and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

We kick off our season preview series in the only way we know how -- with a visit to StateOfTheU.com's one and only Cam Underwood (@UnderwoodSports)! We preview what looks to be a pivotal season in Manny Diaz's tenure, including: How bad is the Alabama game looking, realistically? After that, the season *should* all come down to one single divisional game -- and Cam's feeling good about it. Is Manny Diaz's playcalling enough to fix some of the Canes' defensive struggles from last year? Can the Hurricanes put it all together, win the Coastal Division, and make a New Year's Six game this year? All of this, and MUCH more as we begin our official preparations for the ACC in 2021!
