Duke reached its first bowl game in 18 seasons in 2012, but apparently the media members in attendance at the 2013 ACC Football Kickoff in Greensboro, N.C. weren't optimistic about the Blue Devils' chances to repeat.
A poll of media members had Duke ranked dead last in the ACC's Coastal Division for the 2013 season. Here's a look at how the poll broke down, including each team's total points and any first-place votes they received:
1. Miami (65)................736
2. Virginia Tech (27)......654
3. North Carolina (22)...649
4. Georgia Tech (6)........522
5. Pittsburgh................313
6. Virginia....................230
7. Duke........................228
Clemson received 102 of 120 first-place votes to take the Atlantic Division crown and 95 votes to win this year's ACC Championship. Tiger quarterback Tajh Boyd received 105 votes for preseason ACC Player of the Year.
