PrintHere it is. I think we might be ranked a little high.
Other teams of notes: 5. Boise State; 13. Miami; 17. Georgia Tech; 18. North Carolina; 20. Florida State; RV: Clemson, Boston College, Central Michigan.
It will be interesting to see how we're ranked in the AP poll after getting ranked this high by the coaches. I figured we would be somewhere between 9-12 to start the year and still think that's where we are realistically compared to the rest of the country.
Really you can take the Top 5 (Alabama, Ohio State, Florida, Texas and Boise State) and rank them wherever and it won't really matter. There's a lot of separation between those five and the next 10 entering the year in my mind.
Update: Darryl Slater reports this is the Hokies' highest preseason ranking in either poll in their history.

Preseason polls mean little at this point
Preseason polls are great for conversations sake, but mean nothing. There are at least 10 teams that with the right breaks could be #1 by the end of week 8.
BOISE STATE FANATIC
I think 6 is reasonable
We have the best running game in the country outside of Alabama with a senior QB with big play ability surrounded by receivers. I have absolute faith in Bud being able to reload the defense. And as long as week one goes well, we’ll move into the top 5. As we cakewalk through the interlude before November, we will probably jump up another couple spots. Then things might get shaky, but at least let me fantasize about going undefeated and going to the ship during preseason. I just really hope the team is ready for Boise, I dont want to lose another high profile opener.

dont forget
the usual WTF october loss.
there’s no cakewalking through october for this team.
High profile openers
I agree. Just let us win ONE… for now. I’ll take a couple more high profile openers in the years to come. But, we’re due.
