Mario Cristobal and the Miami Hurricanes were the talk of the town in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the ACC Media Days. As usual, the media poll didn't drop until a week after the event as the Hurricanes were selected as the No. 1 team in the ACC.

When you look at the poll, let's just be straight up--the Hurricanes blew everyone out of the water, receiving a total of 165 first-place votes. The SMU Mustangs was selected as the No. 2 team in the ACC with (6) first-place votes as Louisville wasn't far behind at No. 3.

The Hurricanes are led by quarterback Darian Mensah, who is expected to be one of the best signal-callers in the country. According to the CIS staff, it doesn't come as a surprise that the Hurricanes came in as the No. 1 team, as every staff member picked the 'Canes as the top team in the conference.
