Duke's first ACC game, at Miami, is projected to be the de facto Coastal championship game.

SignUp Now!Mel Kiper Jr. has him rated as the fourth-best senior offensive guard. Other sites have him as high as the second-best guard available. "It would mean a lot to my school, and I know that’s a big deal," Tomlinson said of his draft potential. "I came here to play football. Whatever is the result of that, that’s awesome. I came here to represent my school, and I also came here to be a student and get a degree. That’s what I want to do, and I’m doing it right now." A [sic] evolutionary anthropology and psychology double major, Tomlinson also plans to take the MCAT this spring and set himself up for a future stint in medical school.

It's understandable that we wouldn't get votes in a pre-season poll. It can be excused with "2013 was a fluke." Likewise, I don't expect to be ranked in the AP poll when it comes out in a few days, although I do hope we will be in the others receiving votes category. If we had beaten TAMU in the bowl game, I would feel differently, but we didn't.
Unfortunately, our schedule is set up in such a way that it will be very difficult for us to climb into the poll until at least the fifth week of the season after we play Miami. Accordingly, I don't see us being ranked until late in the season and only if we are 7- or 8-1.
Of course, UNC being ranked in the coaches poll should surprise no one. Why should the fact that they have lost 14 eligible players this off-season contribute to anything. Or the fact that they started out 1-5 last season. Or the fact that they have no defensive linemen and their OL was a question mark going into the pre-season. Carolina could easily (likely?) be 3-7 by the time our Thursday night game arrives.
