Media day is in the books, and nobody has any clue how this league is gonna stack up from four to 10, but the league's sportswriters gave it a guess anyhow. (It's weird to just assume Florida State's competence in basketball, isn't it? This is a strange place that I would like to leave as soon as possible.)

Team Finish:
1-North Carolina (57) - 706
2-Duke (2) - 649
3-Florida State - 560
4-Virginia - 463
5-Miami - 455
6-Virginia Tech - 411
7-Clemson - 403
8-NC State - 316
9-Maryland - 264
10-Georgia Tech - 176
11-Wake Forest - 109
12-Boston College - 90

Richard Howell was not among the members of the preseason All-ACC team and probably won't make the postseason team either, but that's only because Carolina is hogging all the spots with their disgusting excellence.
