N.C. teams take traditional ACC preseason spots

GREENSBORO, Ga. -- Seems like it wouldn't be an Atlantic Coast Conference preseason football poll without two North Carolina schools picked to finish last.
The ACC is preparing for the start of its fourth season with two divisions. And for the fourth straight year, both cellar-dwelling teams are based in North Carolina.
The poll released Monday has North Carolina State picked to finish last in the Atlantic Division and Duke at the bottom of the Coastal.
The Wolfpack are a last-place pick for the second year in a row.
In the first two years of divisional play, Wake Forest was chosen to finish last. The Demon Deacons won the league in 2006.
Duke has been picked last in the Coastal in every preseason since the ACC expanded to 12 teams in 2005.
