I hate preseason rankings, but at least they give us something to talk about during the seemingly never-ending offseason, so let's talk about them. Is No. 13 too low a ranking for the Hokies? Not by a long shot. College football is wide open this year so anything from 5-15 is fair game to me as far as preseason rankings for Tech. Plus, Tech has a lot of questions on defense. I am a little surprised by how high Miami and North Carolina are ranked and that Georgia Tech is left out. Steele goes out on several ledges with his Top 25, but putting Tech at No. 13 isn't one of them.
