As you all probably know by now, the ACC Preseason Poll was released today. Virginia, per usual, is falling pretty much in the middle of the pack. On the plus side, everyone expected UVA to be ranked #5 in the Coastal Conference, but the media put us at #4, a mere 1 point ahead of UNC. Shocker of shockers, every voter put Duke at dead last.

So what are my thoughts on that?

1. Everyone is happy that Virginia Tech is not ranked #1 in any of those categories. The Chokies didn’t get a pre-season player of the year, and that is awesome. Of course, it comes as no surprise that the Hoos also didn’t get any pre-season player of the year votes, as no one really knows who our standout player will even be.
2. I would prefer Virginia to have gotten the #5 spot. Everyone knows UVA does not like to perform when ranked any higher than last. Just take a look at the ‘05-’06 basketball season.
3. Per usual - I like Miami, they treated me nicely when I applied to law school.  But I don’t see them winning the title.  I predict an FSU over Miami title game.
