As a Syracuse fan I am still very nervous about the Army game in two weeks. I'm sure we'll get more in-depth analysis, but Syracuse is two weeks behind in terms of practice and Army might have a game in hand if they can find a replacement for UMass this weekend. Army is always well prepared, well conditioned and very acclimated to playing in the Dome.  They did lose a lot from last year (second and third leading scorers are gone), but have three of the best players at their respective positions in Nichtern, Schluper and Huggins.  SU should be favored, but I am expecting a very competitive game.

Looking at other schedules the southern ACC schools play a lot of similar opponents in High Point, Richmond, Robert Morris, Air Force, etc. Obviously they'll be favored in those games, but a lot of those teams have given ACC teams a run in the past. I know we are dealing with a different animal in the ACC this year, but it's still extreamly early and as good as the ACC teams this weekend looked, you just never know. Duke looked shaky against Robert Morris.  Injuries, Covid, a hot goalie could all play big factors for ACC teams this spring.

It hasn't really hit me yet but it's going to weird to go through the season without the two conferences that made the most of the extra year of eligibility, the ACC and Big Ten face-off until the playoffs. Almost like the old days of baseball when there was no inter-league play and the National and American League didn't play each other until the World Series.
