VT won, convincingly in their bowl game against Tulane, a 11 win team. We lost to Rutgers and they rushed for over 200 yards. VT finished strong also. UM should not be ranked going in, much less at 15. The knock is Mario. Simple. 1-6 v ranked and back to back 3-5 records. Manny was 5-3 in ACC final season and worst record 4-4 in ACC. That's it. Our UM teams have underwhelmed since joining the ACC. We don't deserve to be ranked until they earn it. Go Canes

Obviously im a VT fan, but even though Miami has more talent (always a top 20 recruiting program) vt has more production with their players. After the marshall loss vt changed qb and team scheme and went on a 6-3 run, producing a top 20 defense (top 10 in sacks) with consistent all ACC qb kyron, a deep wr room and rb tuten providing a dynamic offense. All of this is returning with more talent maybe improving that 6-3 run. I haven’t watched too much of canes football so i cant so much on that end but i know the acc is great when our two teams are on top.

Alex, respectfully, while I understand you’re doing a fun gig for fans of a sport, let’s at least put some research into your analysis. VT brought in a .97 from Alabama, a .95 from Oklahoma, a good Mike from MTSU, a couple more DLs, and an OL or two. Their receiving corps might be the best in the ACC, and they have a stud RB, and QB. That’s really all they need to get preseason hype, especially coming off them blowing Tulane out in the bowl game. They figured out their identity and will be a very intriguing team to watch this season.

Va tech has had nine 10 win seasons in the past 20 years that has to speak for something more than what we can say right ? Forget the polls and chatter let's strap up and see what we got because we have no room to talk let's just play. 10 wins will shut some ppl up and earn some respect back ! 20 years canes how old were you and what were you doing 20 years ago?

I'm obviously more familiar with ACC season as a whole, but I'm sure fans of other teams in other conferences are also scratching their heads. For the good, getting rid of two SEC teams that likely didn't belong (there are still SEC teams getting the SEC benefit of the doubt rankings though), especially Kentucky. Not when there were so many teams that had a better chance of actually staying in the top 25 and not just handing SEC teams an early season ranked matchup before Kentucky spiraled. Same thing with A&M (and yes honestly, Miami as well in a lot of ways). The bad though is astounding. Leaving out Louisville is wild, VaTech being as high as they are much less in is wild. I mean put GaTech in. They had better momentum to end the season, and pushed Georgia to 4 full quarters. None of VaTechs wins to end the season impressed me as much as GaTech making the then #1 team in the country sweat all four quarters. Which is even more impressive when you look at the margins of victory the Dawgs had against other highly ranked SEC opponents. Want to rank someone in the ACC for seeming to put pieces together to be a possible 9 win team? Yellow-Jackets are my pick. The Louisville snub is just ridiculous though. I don't care what they lost or gained, they were a 10 win team last year, that ALWAYS gets you a pre-season ranking, even if it's in the 20s. Winning 10 games in a season is hard, only 18 power 5 teams did it last year, and 10 G5 teams. Not getting a nod for that achievement but giving Tennessee a pass is...well the bias we've come to expect from ESPN I guess.
