Notes

• Oddly, the champs didn’t end the season as our #1 but do start the season as our preseason #1. Although I have some doubts, until someone serves the Hokies notice ...
• Most college football pundits are higher on North Carolina than we are, while we might have Miami Fla. higher than they'll finish
