Both over AND under rated?

According to the "experts" at CBS Sports, this should be a very confusing season in Blacksburg...

From: 2016 ACC Expert Picks: Overrated, underrated, predicted order of finish

Most overrated team
Virginia Tech: The Hokies deteriorated for years under Frank Beamer. Hey, it happens. While the ACC as a whole has gotten better, VT hasn't. I believe Justin Fuente is one of the best hires this year. He has four returning offensive linemen plus a 1,000-yard rusher. But there is a rebuild to be done here with at least a year's transition. Fuente has to install the hurry-up spread. You don't do that in one offseason with a roster recruited to a different system. Third place in the Coastal and a bowl game would be an absolute win in Fuente's first season. -- Dennis Dodd

Most underrated team
Virginia Tech:
The Coastal is always wide open, and I'm skeptical about North Carolina's ability to repeat last season's accomplishments due to its porous run defense. Miami will be solid, but I'm not ready to crown it yet. Then there's the Hokies. The defense slipped last year, but I expect things to return to normal this season, and even in his first year, Justin Fuente will make a very boring offensive team exciting. -- Tom Fornelli

Bold ACC prediction
Tom Fornelli:
Virginia Tech will win the Coastal.

So which is it? Overrated or underrated? Good, bad, or ugly?
