Take a look below at the AP's Preseason Top 25 Poll, as released this morning. You'll notice that it's similar to the Coaches' Poll in some ways (Clemson and FSU are the only ACC teams in the Top 25), and different in others (Georgia Tech received votes and is listed ahead of North Carolina). The long and short of it is that this poll is absolutely meaningless, but it also signifies that we're only 2 weeks from kickoff!!
