Thanks to "RC" for this link. Meanwhile for the 2005 season, it looks like collegefootballnews.com will have the Jackets in their probable top 25. They've revealed from 117 down to #26 and there are no Jackets to be found yet......... Rough treatment for some ACC teams - UVA #27, NCST #40, MD #49, Clemson #50, UNC #52, WF #63, Duke #78........... So who from the ACC (by process of elimination) will be on their top 25 list? Obviously Miami, FSU, VaTech, GT, BC. In other words - all 3 NEW ACC teams, along with FSU/GT.
