Surprise! Clemson picked to win ACC
Submitted by jpg on 07/21/2008 - 14:23
GREENSBORO, Ga. — Clemson's the preseason pick by the media to win the ACC. The Tigers, who went 9-4 in 2007, received 51 of the 65 votes to win the ACC Championship Game.
Clemson took home 59 of the 65 votes to win the Atlantic Division. Virginia Tech, with 58 votes, was the runaway pick in the Coastal.
The voting process may need to be reviewed though. Miami, Georgia Tech and Virginia each got a first-place vote in the Coastal.
| ATLANTIC | COASTAL |
| 1. Clemson (59) | 1. Virginia Tech (58) |
| 2. Wake Forest (5) | 2. North Carolina (4) |
| 3. Florida State (1) | 3. Miami (1) |
| 4. Boston College | 4. Georgia Tech (1) |
| 5. Maryland | 5. Virginia (1) |
| 6. N.C. State | 6. Duke |

Eckman Long Reach Electric
Sun, 08/02/2009 - 23:56 — rahulraikwar24Eckman Long Reach Electric Telescopic Hedge Trimmer
This is a powerful tool for heavy-duty jobs. In most cases you can reach the tops and angles of hedges without the use of a stepladder. The trimmer’s rotating head reaches 180 degrees left to right for the sides and angles, and 90 degrees up and down to reach the front and top of hedges as high as 1.93 meters (6ft 4in).

Mon, 07/28/2008 - 22:14 — Anonymous (not verified)UNC will show everyone that Butch Davis isnt going to have to carry anyone .. undefeated in non-conference and lose only to miami in acc play .. UNC vs. Clemson in championship however Clemson rolls .. Coastal is weak sorry NCSU fans (me included) .. must give the heels some credit .. ((watch the Notre Dame game))
UNC is terrible

Tue, 07/22/2008 - 16:17 — SRT (not verified)It's remarkable how the WulfPunks hate and find fault in the UNC position rather than defend the LAST place position for State. Most State fans are more jealous of UNC than they are fans of their own team.
The Tarholes are delusional
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 20:40 — Anonymous (not verified)The Tarholes are delusional and have forgotten that State won last year despite giving them two TDs on interception returns. Tarholes had nothing on offense, and we will beat them again this year.
Voting in not valid
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 09:06 — Bull6738 (not verified)How can UNX be picked to finish 2nd in the costal division. I mean they only won 4 games. I can see them finishing maybe 5th in the division. In UNX recent history has UNX how many time have they finished any higher than 5th. Someone is going to all of a sudden vote and think they will finish 2nd. Miami was down last yr but they want be down for long with Shannon at the wheel. I just cannot see UNX finishing any higher than 5th. Duke should have beat them last yr if they would have a kicker. By the way State owned UNX last yr.
Miamia's d danced better
Mon, 08/04/2008 - 15:29 — peanut Williams (not verified)Miamia's d danced better than they played football last year. If you were there you know what I'm taking about
Not that far ahead of Duke
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 22:25 — JPDOhioOk, that subject is not fair. But they did lose to NC State and needed overtime to beat Duke. So if the Pack was in the Coastal, then......
hhhmmm .... State game was
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 08:50 — Beezer (not verified)hhhmmm .... State game was honestly b/c of turnovers wasn't it?? seems to me UNC out played NCSU. still, they lost. DUIke game was inexcusable, but they were playing for their coach on the other sidelines in a rivalry game if you will.
excuses,yes. but don't let your hatred for UNC deny your realistic side to confirm UNC will be contending for a Coastal Division title and a berth in the ACC Championship game!! lol.
No UNC Hater Here
Tue, 07/22/2008 - 12:00 — JPDOhioThe Coastal Division appears to be so weak that UNC has a chance to finish in first. I just think a lot has to go right for them and they can't afford to have much go wrong. That can also be said for most of the teams in the ACC, which makes this year pretty much a crapshoot.
As a State fan, I may have become a little skeptical of lofty pre-season predictions for obvious reasons. That has more to do with my thinking that four first place votes is a little excessive, moreso that some supposed dislike of UNC.
Voting

UNC not THAT far behind VT
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 21:23 — dmccallJPDOhio, Do you remember just how close that UNC@VT game was last year?
What a joke!
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 21:21 — Anonymous (not verified)UNC get 4 first place votes, and gets picked 2nd. Maybe a little UNC journalism school bias in action here? There is no way the Coastal division can be this pathetic.

is that embarassing to the ACC?
1st Place Votes
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 16:47 — JPDOhioUNC's four first place votes are just as suspect as any vote for Va and GT.

That's what happens when you let those wacky student media types attend these things!

State-Duke
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 15:35 — patmacgroine69Mmmm, mmm. That State-Duke game on Nov. 8 is looking like a good one. Let me guess, Hillside High hosts the winner and spots them 10 points to keep it interesting.
State will finish 2nd to Clemson
Mon, 07/21/2008 - 19:36 — Anonymous (not verified)UNC who won 4 games last season, picked 2nd !!! They couldn't beat Apex HS. That side of the conference is so weak....Who did UNC BEAT ? Furman,Duke and everybody beat Miami including the Wolfpack. OH YEA !!! NCSU stomped UNC ALSO
