Well, I'm not going to take the time to look it up, but I think we have a summer time thread on how we'd rank the ACC teams. We are only 3-4 games into the season and there been very little conference play, but I think we have a better pulse on all the teams now. A lot can happen, however, I'm pretty sure we all were off on our preseason thoughts on the rankings. I know I was even though I will say that I didn't buy into some of the preseason takes.
I'll say this, because we can bust on them and Cris won't lock the tread 😀, the ACC Media voters really sucked. Here's how they voted.
1. Florida State (81) 2708 - What a huge swing and miss. Now, I didn't think FSU would be a bottom dweller, though I did pray for it, but I didn't buy into the hype either. Anyone with a pulse should have seen they were going to lose a few games. #1 is now on life support. First to worse couldn't happen to a more deserving fan base.
2. Clemson (55) 2657 - No complaints here. Tigers have a bright future if we can keep humming along.
3. Miami (17) 2344 - No complaints here either. Miami is the ACC's bell cow right now. I'm okay with that because I am safe in the knowledge that they will Mario something up during the season.
4. NC State (8) 2318 - LOL. Their easy schedule gave them hope. I guess it wasn't easy enough. I figured they'd peak at 9 wins but I guess I gave them too much credit. Swing and a miss.
5. Louisville 1984 - Meh. Easy schedule will keep them in the conversation. Pop Tart Bowl here they come.
6. Virginia Tech (5) 1968 - WTH? I know their schedule was softer than Charmin, but why did anyone think VT was going to be a winner? Because they brought back a lot? Bringing back sucky players isn't a winning recipe. It's a recipe for more losses. Raise your had if you have Clemson losing to VT in Blacksburg. You should self impose a one week posting ban for writing that down.
7. SMU 1798 - And raise your hand (not me) if you though a G5 team, who finished strong last year, was somehow going to compete with P4 teams? Yeah they may beat FSU, but that's nothing to brag about. This feel like a "we have to have token respect for one of the news schools vote."
8. North Carolina 1712 - I'm not sure I have an issue with this vote because UNC is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you ae going to get. The fact that we lose defensive recruits to a team that can't spell defense makes me sick. Bye bye Mack. UNC please go after Lane.
9. Georgia Tech (1) 1539 - Hey the Wreck aren't a wreck anymore. They are doing some wrecking. I think we are all pleasantly surprised. Dukes Mayo here they come.
10. Cal (2) 1095 - In three games you've brought more honor to the ACC that UNC football has done in 100 years. Nice job hippies.
11. Duke 1056 - Why couldn't we open with you this year instead of last?
12. Syracuse 1035 - Dang, Cuse with a pulse and a QB. Spending that NIL wisely. Good job Orange.
13. Pitt 1016 - Nice WVU win. I think you may be good. But I'm still not sure. Pinstripe Bowl sounds about right.
14. Boston College (1) 890 - BIG swing and miss by the pundits. BC is kicking butt. With their luck they will get the Fenway Bowl.
15. Wake Forest 784 - Got this one right. Wake, looks like all those 5th and 6th year players are gone. Good news is you'll be good again in 4 years.
16. Virginia 629 - Hold on now. The Fighting Tony's are making some noise. Move them up the list. The Tony of the Tiger Bowl sounds like the ideal landing spot.
17. Stanford 477 - We have a 4-0 team at the bottom. Not so fast my friends. Stanford is gooder at football than grammar and math.
