So you've got 4 out of the top 5 picks from Tobacco Road, the ENTIRE pre-season All-conference team, the player of the year and the Rookie of the year.

So yes, we do have GT and UVA and Clemson and FSU and Miami and VT and Maryland. But look where the focus is.

Here's the good news. The pre-season polls don't mean crap. Awards are earned and there's a lot of basketball to play. We're going to re-post this list at the end of the season when the winners are announced and laugh at the infinite wisdom of the media.
