In the preseason:

1 - N. Carolina
2 - Duke
3 - Miami FL
4 - Wake Forest
5 - Clemson
6 - Virginia Tech
7 - Florida St.
8 - Maryland
9 - Ga. Tech
10 - Boston College
11 - NC State

I think that Wake gets deeper into the tournament than Duke however.

I just think in a match up between Duke and Wake...Blue Devils would get beat up inside.

Wake is very, very deep this year...but a hurt Ish Smith is a bummer.

3. wake (young talent, young coach, good recruiting class, could push duke)
4. miami (mcclinton will carry them)
5. fsu (one of the most underrated teams in the country. singleton, douglas, alabi, echefu are underrated)
6. maryland (put them here by default)
7. clemson ( purnell's coaching ability lands them here)
8. va tech
9. nc st
10. gt

Top 4 in the ACC are very good teams, next 4 teams are all mid level... should get into the tournament type teams... bottom tier is mostly NIT type teams.  Once again no real weaknesses in the ACC from top to bottom.  Should be another roll over of the Big 10

Gotta move Virginia to last below BC after hearing that Calvin Baker is most likely lost for the season.  This means that UVA is going to have to use All-American Sylven Landesberg as a point guard instead of a small forward.

Having Shumpert will help losing Bell, but that will suck for sure.  Hate to see that for a senior.

Ya... really like them this year...

Returning 4 out of the 5 starters from last year's team that almost beat Texas in the 2nd round.   The only player that they had to replace was King and they got a pretty good center in Reggie Johnson coming in as a center.   McClinton is a stud.. one of the best shooters in the country. 

The one thing that might kill them is there lack of size... no players taller then 6'9" and they are very guard oriented.

I also think Duke isn't as good as they are being hyped up to be.... A solid team but if they weren't "Duke", they'd be lower in the projections.   Paulus has heart but hes overrated... Singler isn't half the player he's made out to be... Scheyer's a decent shooter...Zoubec? typical overrated Dukie.

DUKE can lick my balls

I don't really understand how everyone loves them...ESPN, Mike Patrick, Dick Vitale.

Really they didn't sign anybody that will make them less soft.  They lost IMO their best player in DeMarcus Nelson.  They were bounced in the 2nd Round, but they are a top 10 team...give me a break.

L4 NCAA Tourney's by Duke
2008 - 2 seed - lost 2nd rd WVU (should have been beat by #15 Belmont)
2007 - 6 seed - lost 1st rd VCU
2006 - 1 seed - lost sweet 16, dominated by LSU
2005 - 1 seed - lost sweet 16, dominated by Michigan St.

And people act like Duke has been around since the beginning of basketball.  BTW UNLV gave them their 1st NCAA Championship.

accventures... don't say we suck   UVA did land a good recruiting class with Landesberg (all-american) Brandenberg and Sene two very solid recruits.  They will be down... but they could win 6-7 games in the ACC

I agree with your list. Obviously, a bold move putting Wake ahead of Duke but they just have the players to do it.

Acc gets 7 or more teams in this year.  Maryland being that low doesn't mean they will be a horrible team.  It will show the depth of the ACC.

Outside of Vazquez , Maryland has little depth/length.
 
My Hurricanes have nice front court depth to go with McClinton..
 
3-4 bruisers/bangers..

I agree with accventures, Maryland is being overlooked this year.  Gary has a very coachable team this year, that he should be able to get to play his style.  Sean mosley will have an impact as a freshman.  Look for Milbourne to step up this year, and Hayes will run the team very well.  Vazquez will run his mouth and do what he does, and Burney, while unknown will be a banger inside.
