How do we know college football season is almost among us? The first official preseason college football poll has been released. Today, the USA Today coaches poll was released, and you can see it underneath. The Hokies start the season 20th according to the coaches, which might be a little low for my tastes. This is Virginia Tech’s lowest preseason ranking since 2004, but is also the 8th straight year the the Hokies have started the season ranked. For a team that has a potential top-10 defense and quarterback, this ranking seems kind of low. I expected the Hokies to enter around the 15-17 range, but the coaches had other ideas. Take a look for yourself.
