#1 Clemson and #22 Syracuse are the only Top 25 ACC teams. Here are the “Others receiving votes” with ACC teams emphasized.
Nebraska 152; Boise State 118; Mississippi State 111;
Miami 94; Army 91; Kentucky 79;
Virginia Tech 64; Texas Christian 63; Southern California 47; Utah State 32; Fresno State 32;
Virginia 30; Cincinnati 25; West Virginia 24; Memphis 24; Oklahoma State 20; South Carolina 15;
NC State 12;
Duke 10;
Boston College 5;
Florida State 4; Baylor 4; Appalachian State 4; North Texas 3; Houston 3; UCLA 2; Temple 2; Arizona State 2; Troy 1; Tennessee 1; Mississippi 1; Minnesota 1.
So if you wanted to really stretch it, you could say:
#29 Miami
#32 Virginia Tech
#38 Virginia
#44 NC State
#45 Duke
#46 BC
#47 FSU
In other words, everyone things the ACC sucks right now outside of Clemson.

7/65 from ACC
7/65 from SEC
6/65 from Big 12 (maybe I missed one)
7/65 from Big 10
5/65 from PAC 12 (maybe I missed one or two)
32/65 from Power 5 (plus any I missed)
Notes:
- Alabama had 6 #1 votes and SEC had 7 voters...Which one of them didn’t vote for Satan
- Mendelhall is not on the voting committee and Virginia was lower in the “others” behind two other coastal teams whose coaches did vote.
- Best teams on the poll with a coach that didn’t vote: #4 Oklahoma, #7 Michigan, #9 Notre Dame
- PAC 12 with only 5 voters and neither of their top two teams coaches voted in #12 Washington and #13 Oregon
- Butch made the committee for voting this year
Is that enough over analysis of a meaningless poll? 23 days until they start to move...
