to me, VT at 6 is a little low, and Wake at 3 is a little high, especially considering their freshmen haven't played a single game yet

here's how I have it

1. UNC
2. Duke
3. VT
4. Miami
5. Wake
6. Clemson
7. Florida State
8. Maryland

miami is probably the 3rd best team behind unc and dook

yea i dont think VT can finish above 4th this your... just my opinion though.

unc dook on top then 3-12 is pretty much a toss up i believe

Well I hope my blue devils have a huge year! I believe they should be on top not UNC

I'm as big/bigger a DUKE fan as anyone and I don't see how you can say that with a straight face. I guess UT should be ranked 5th not 12th in the SEC as well.

just wondering what that opinion is based on...because it can't be the fact that we won 21 games last year and finished 4th with 6 freshmen playing 70% of the minutes, or that we lost one player from that team

any team 3-6 can finish in any order 3-6...there are basically 3 tiers of teams this year...UNC and Duke, 3-6, then 7-12
