1. FSU-Not MNC caliber still plenty of questions.
2. GT-2nd best talent, least amount of glaring holes of the teams 2-8.
3. Clemson-Too many weapons and will be better on defense.
4. N.C. State-Highly overrated. Schedule is easy but there are a lot of holes. Rivers needs time, will he get it.
5. Maryland-Too much good fortune last year, those things have a way of reversing themselves. OL is overrated and Perry might not play much.
6. UNC-More athletes than what's below.
7. Wake Forest-Would rank them higher, but don't like picking Wake when they have expectations.
8. UVA-They could be downright awful, or just bad.
9. Duke-Need to get a win.
