More polling
The ESPN/USA Today preseason basketball poll is out with a predictable -- and undeniably obvious -- No. 1 team.
Behind the North Carolina Tar Heels, the panel of coaches enumerates an ACC pecking order of Duke (fifth nationally), Miami (16th) and Wake Forest (24th).
In case you're curious, last year's preseason rankings were remarkably prescient. Six teams picked in the top seven in preseason finished there. The only notable bust was N.C. State, which was 24th in November 2007 and nowhere near relevant by January.
