The official preseason ACC poll isn't out yet, but the unofficial one offered up by ESPN today gives us a pretty good sense of where we can expect to see the Cards.
Jeff Goodman asked an anonymous group of Big 5 conference coaches to rank the ACC's teams from top to bottom, and here's how things shook out:
1. Duke Blue Devils - 260 (12)
2. Louisville Cardinals - 238 (4)
3. North Carolina Tar Heels - 236
4. Virginia Cavaliers - 230 (2)
5. Syracuse Orange - 198
6. Pittsburgh Panthers - 172
7. Florida State Seminoles - 138
8. NC State Wolfpack - 136
9. Miami (FL) Hurricanes - 126
10. Notre Dame Fighting Irish - 118
11. Clemson Tigers - 110
T-12. Wake Forest Demon Deacons - 62
T-12. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets - 62
14. Virginia Tech Hokies - 42
15. Boston College Eagles - 30
Wear it, Clemson.
I'm sorry, that's just the week getting to me.
