Defending ACC football champ Virginia Tech has been picked as the preseason favorite to win the ACC's Coastal Division. But the Clemson Tigers are favored to win the Atlantic Division and beat the Hokies to win the ACC Championship Game.
The Hokies are favored to win the Coastal, getting 58 of 65 first-place votes, followed by North Carolina, Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia and Duke.
Frank Beamer, Hokies Head Coach - "I like being picked up there but I understand we got work to do. We've got a whole receiving core that we've got to replace. Tailback position we've got to replace, a lot of guys on defense we've got to replace."
