ACC Preseason Poll Article

Quick thoughts:

  • Feels about right for the Hokies

  • I can't wait to hear how disrespected Dabo feels

  • Someone at Stanford is smoking trees

Looking at the point grouping, 5th to 8th is pretty tight. Given our unknowns, we got slotted 8th. But 5th wouldn't be a huge shock.

I do see there are a bunch of Homers dropping first place votes for the ol Noles.

It has to be this guy.

GT at 5 is wild to me. They lost so much. I know they miss Miami and SMU this year, but they still have to play Clemson and Louisville.

So, once again, Da U is Bak! Yeah, I know, they did well last year. But will be interesting to see if they can actually live up to the hype again.

"Florida State (1,439) was picked 11th"

Good to see that. Wonder how they will respond with no expectations. And how tapped-out must their donors be if (1) the team actually finishes around that position and (2) coaching change is not made.

Have you been following what Miami has been doing in the portal and recruiting? It would a colossal failure if they don't finish top 3 in the ACC.

No, I have not. But I have seen this movie many times where Miami is an elite team in July, August and September. As I mentioned, they did put it together last year. And may do it again and again. But I'm curious to see if that will be the case. Just like I'm curious to see if VT can stop having WTF losses or if Franklin coached teams can beat teams with similar or modestly superior talent as well.

Unfortunately, I do think the U is back to being a high or top tier team year in and year out for the forseeable future in this climate. Obviously, things can change fast in sports, but their infrastructure in regards to spending, the coaches, the roster management, etc. is very solid right now.
