I'm seeing Wake Forest in the Top 25? Should make for a fun fall in this area...

Disclaimer!!!!!! I am not bashing UVA with this post, I promise! I am just curious how you are picked to finish in the lower end of the ACC for this season but still get 12 votes. I repeat I am not trying to stir up the UVA crowd this is just an honest question... I agree with you Adam it will be fun to follow football in the Triangle this fall.. Hopefully UNC will get back to a bowl game this year, which is looks like they will..

I think UNC has a great chance to make it to the ACC title game. Tech only won by 1 touchdown last year in Lane stadium, and this year the Hokies are on the road and are young at some key positions, plus giving the history of choking I would not be surprised to see UNC upset VT, plus the Hokies are also on the road against Florida State and Miami.

I think the Wake/Clemson game will be a good one to watch as well.

yea.. I don't know that ND will be all that bad... Here's a good question because I think it will draw out several good answers... Who will be there first one to loose a game out of the top 10? I think it happens in week one, I am picking Illnois to go into Missouri and pull off an upset, I really like Juice Wiliams back at QB and I think with him now being in Zook's system for a while that they can pull off the upset..
