From SI: "5 Early Impressions as ACC College SB Teams Begin Fall Ball"

There is nothing particularly earth-shattering about the article - just some general notes on FSU, Duke, Clemson, VT, and North Carolina. Most of it is a recap of last season with some notes on newcomers. Candidly, there is some head-scratching pieces, such as this comment about UNC: "With a large goal of making it to the Super Regionals for the first time in program history in 2026, head coach Megan Smith Lyon and her staff have built a fall schedule that will push the roster to complete readiness by the time spring comes around. They close out fall play against William Peace, Walters State, Greensboro, and Mt. Olive."
