[QUOTE="jacketup, post: 884517, member: 630"] UNC was favored to win the Coastal last year by these same guys. We see how that turned out. In another conference, NIU was picked near the bottom, but won the conference. The sports media knows little about college football, but people act like they are experts How many of you know someone who has or had a vote in this media poll? I know 2. One guy can tell you a lot about MLB, but other than the one ACC team he sort of covers, he knows nothing about college football. He panders to his readers with regard to the one team he sort of covers; he really doesn't know a lot about even them. The other guy knows a lot about Duke basketball, and a little bit about ACC basketball. He also sells ads for his newspaper due to the crunch in the media world. He knows little about college football. But both of those guys get a vote. They vote according to their readership, not knowledge of the teams. I believe it is still true that Tech has the lowest media coverage in the ACC, so less home cooking. The sad part is that you can't even use the electronic version of the poll to line a bird cage.
