It's a preseason poll and ranking from a preseason magazine that trades in topical analysis. However, it's May so it gives us something to talk about, as well as a bit of insight into Tech's national perception. Athlon predicts Tech will finish No. 1 in the ACC Coastal. As has been said many times before, Tech avoiding Florida State, Clemson, and Louisville in the Atlantic Division bodes well for the Hokies return to Charlotte.
They hit the nail on the head here.
Tech's ground game should be better, if only because it would be tough to be worse.
Ouch, the truth can hurt.
The offense should benefit from being in Year 2 in Loeffler's system, but Year 1 didn't exactly set the bar high. The Hokies had the 101st-ranked offense nationally in 2013, averaging 356.0 yards per game. Fixing the lagging running game would go a long way toward making Virginia Tech more competitive, since theres plenty of faith in Blacksburg that Foster will figure things out like he always does. Beamer is confident that the changes he made to the offensive coaching staff prior to 2013 are taking root but knows that it will take time. Still, the Hokies should contend in a wide-open Coastal Division this year.
Honestly, it's a very well written preview, they even have Kendall Fuller on a cover, but none of the info should be new to you if you've been following along here.
They've released their top-40 teams thus far, and this is how the ACC stacks up.
No. 1 Florida State
No. 21 Clemson
No. 27 Virginia Tech
No. 28 Louisville
No. 30 Miami
No. 32 North Carolina
No. 36 Pittsburgh
No. 38 Duke
