College football's transfer portal doesn't open until January, but Duke players are making decisions now. Here's who's in, out for Manny Diaz.

The Blue Devils are one of 12 teams that will play nine conference games as 2026 will serve as a transition year for the league, joining California, Louisville, Miami, NC State, Pitt, SMU, Stanford, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest. The other five remaining teams in the league will continue with an eight-game conference schedule.

Duke signed 14 high school players, including three from North Carolina, on Wednesday, the first day of the early signing period.

The 2026 football season is going to be a "transition year" for the ACC as it shifts toward a model where every league member will play nine conference games and at least 10 games against Power Four foes.

To be more specific, head coach Manny Diaz believes that his team should get in, but he also lobbies for Miami to get a bid as well. Miami was 10-2 this season but has been ranked behind other two-loss teams, including Notre Dame, which they beat in Week 1.
