With the start of the 2022 college football season for the Virginia Cavaliers just over a month away, the ACC has released its preseason media poll ranking the conference’s team in the Atlantic and Coastal Divisions. After finishing fourth in the Coastal in 2021, UVA is similarly ranked fourth heading into 2022.
Ahead of Virginia in the Coastal are Miami, Pitt, and North Carolina while Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech, and Duke round out the bottom three of the division. This preseason ranking is obviously heavily influenced by last season’s results as the only changes are the swapping of Miami and Pitt in first and second and then North Carolina and Virginia Tech in third and fifth.
