The Coastal Division has produced the past three ACC champions, and there's no reason to believe that streak will end in 2010.

The ACC's three most talented teams - Virginia Tech, Miami and UNC - reside in the Coastal with defending champion Georgia Tech.

The Yellow Jackets lost four NFL draft picks, including two first-rounders, from last year's ACC championship team.

Tech coach Paul Johnson, who is 12-4 in two ACC seasons, isn't willing to concede the Coastal throne.

"You don't ever know until you get out there and play," Johnson said.

Virginia Tech has won the Coastal three times in five years of division play. The Hokies are our pick to win the division and the ACC this fall. With Darren Evans joining superb running back Ryan Williams in the backfield with quarterback Tyrod Taylor, the Hokies' will have their best offense since joining the ACC.

FSU hasn't won the Atlantic Division since 2005, but with a staggering 10 starters back on offense - and the pivotal division game against Clemson in Tallahassee - the Noles are the pick under new coach Jimbo Fisher.

Quinn is a surefire first round pick but the kid I like is the other DE, Michael McAdoo (6'7"/245).

I count 8 future NFL players on that Tarheel defense next season.
 
Yes and he's (McAdoo) the backup along with Donte Moss another 2nd teamer will be drafted high, alot of talent up front
