The 2024 preseason Coaches Poll was released Monday afternoon, with NC State checking in at No. 22. (Dave Doeren is not a voter this year, for the record.)
The ACC has four teams in the initial poll, led by Florida State at No. 10. Clemson is No. 14, and Miami is No. 19. The Wolfpack only plays Clemson out of that bunch, which is nice when you think about it.
Here’s how the tail end of the poll shook out:
20. Texas A&M
21. Arizona
22. NC State
23. USC
24. Kansas
25. Iowa
Louisville, Virginia Tech, and SMU ended up 26-28 in the polling. Should end up being an entertaining year in the ACC, I think. One of Clemson and FSU is being underrated, probably, but both have their vulnerabilities.
Tennessee checks in at 15; I’m sure the TV folks will be happy they can tout a top-25 matchup in Week 2. And man I cannot wait.
