Pretty simple analysis from the last 5 years (conveniently CPJs tenure at GT) of the predicted finish in each division as compared to the actual finish in the standings. Note that they include ties to Miami/UNC/GT all finished 1st in the Coastal last season.

The Tech-relevant findings are:
1) GT has in fact been the most under-rated ACC team by the media
2) GT has actually been the best Coastal team over that span (higher average finish than VT). This is probably due to us tying for 1st last season while VT was 4th despite only being 1 game behind us.

You missed the most important part. CPJ looks grouchy to someone bullish on him.

The Blue Devils’ average finish of 5.2 over the last five years puts it - wait for it - last in the Coastal Division.

People who use this type of dramatic pause in their writing are - wait for it - asshole idiots.

There's nothing wrong with flying under the radar.
