Who had UNC in 1st place?????
The NCAA.
I totally disagree with FSU and Moo-U rankings. Would be so sweet for Wake to beat both of these asshats.

Rather over achieve than under achieve- might make our guys mad and we are good enough to do something about it. Nobody is going to look forward to playing us.
Preseason polls are worthless apart from stirring fan interest and promoting media. I hope our players don't need this for motivation.
Can someone explain to me how Ga Tech, Duke, and UNC-Ch deserve any first place votes ? Those teams didn't even make bowls last year. I"m guessing the Duke and UNC-CH votes are just some smartass sportswriter.
Duke bowled last year didn't they? I thought their victory in the season finale against us got them in a bowl.

Duke did play in a bowl last year... sort of... they routed N. Illinois in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit.
The Atlantic has a ton of question marks. VT lost a TON off their defense including their best DB in last month (he was ruled academically ineligible and then declared for the supplemental draft). Miami was exposed at the end of last season: lost to Pitt and then got blown out by Clemson and Wisky. Just not sure anyone in the Atlantic Division is any good; so, even though Duke and GT were mediocre last year and UNC was awful (they did have an unreal number of injuries), any team, other than UVA, could win that division.
I believe this is the exact same spot we were picked last year ... last year ahead of only BC
I'm not getting worked up about the ACC predictions. Quarterback is a question mark, and the front 7 lost some key guys. But most importantly, we're in a stacked division. I expect Clemson first and Syracuse last, but there isn't much separating everyone else. I'm not shocked we got picked behind UL and FSU. State has the best QB in the conference, BC has Dillon. I'm of the opinion that BC is the biggest game on the schedule as of right now. We win that, and we'll be in good shape to finish a lot higher than 6. Lose, and it's going to be near impossible to finish in the top half of the division.
