    Nice preview of the top tier of the ACC. I think over this series you really captured the storyline of the ACC this year which is new programs near the top and the over strength of the ACC is back.

    Plus you reference the B/R Top 25 poll so for that I commend your efforts.

      Thanks Jameson for the comment. I had to give some love to the B/R Top 25 Poll, it is no different then the Coaches or AP Polls. Expect we just get paid as much for our opinion! :)
