Virginia Tech is unranked. I'm not sure if that's deservedly, or undeservedly so. Yes the offense is unproven and shallow across the depth chart, but Frank Beamer has won a lot of games with a stout defense and sound special teams, which the Hokies are almost certain to have this season. However, it seems a 7-6 season and a spring game lacking offensive firepower didn't impress the voters. Historically, Tech's embraced the underdog role, and this will be more motivation for the Hokies.
There are 6 SEC teams, 5 Big Ten teams, 5 Pac-12 teams, 4 Big 12 teams, and 2 ACC teams.
