UVA - interesting team - they lost their Offensive Coordinator last year to the NFL - I don't think that will be insignificant. Certainly have a great deal of young talent, and Schuab is a good senior leader.
But I am not 100% sold on Groh as a game day leader. They never adjusted at all to what Gailey did to them last year, which was take advantage of that 3-4 system with a spread offense. He was outcoached by Gailey and staff last year (after outcoaching GOL and staff the prior year)
I hate to say it, but I gotta go with Maryland. They have the best staff in the country, IMO, and enough returning to challenge F$U. And their OOC schedule is just awful, alowing them to heal up if necessary for the in conference games.
I think it will be interesting to see what NC State does. While they certainly proved last year not to be as good as advertised, this should be their best year - last one with Rivers. The Ohio State game will tell quite a bit about NC State this year, although I do think Amato will have them ready to play (one thing the coaches could do at F$U was to get the kids motivated for a big away game).
