Four ACC teams in AP poll

Virginia Tech is the highest-ranked ACC team in the preseason AP Top 25, released today. The Hokies are No. 7, followed by Georgia Tech (15), Florida State (18) and UNC (21).

Curious, the two voters (me and Jeff Gravley) who see UNC the most, don't have the Tar Heels in the top 25.

N.C. State and ECU were among the "others receiving votes."

And to answer your question, Ray Ratto, the San Francisco Chronicle columnist, is responsible for all nine of Boston College's points. He ranked BC No. 17.

Florida was the near-unanimous No. 1 choice with Texas receiving two first-place votes (one from me). -- J.P. Giglio

That is why Texas is going to get their asses stomped by Florida by at least 21 points JIGALO. Cause your dumb ass voted for them! And you are too stupid to recognize a top 20 team like the Heels if they slapped you in the face which is what they all need to do after they line up single file. But you wouldn't make it past the first man.
