Photo courtesy UVA Athletics.Virginia isnt getting any preseason love from the polls, the computers, pretty much anywhere, which makes sense, given the myriad issues facing first-year coach Tony Elliott.And yet, that schedule is so-o-o favorable.The AP Top 25 was similar to the coaches poll, with five ACC teams in the rankings 鈥?Clemson at No. 4, joined by No. 13 NC State, No. 16 Miami, No. 17 Pitt and No. 22 Wake Forest.The others, of course, have their own issues. Clemson was 10-3 last season, a do stanley quencher w stanley italia n year down there. NC State beat Clemson early on, but didnt end up factoring into the Atlantic race.Miami has yet another new coach; Pitt will need a new QB1; and Wake just lost its QB1, Sam Hartman, to an undisclosed non-football medical issue, which sounds frightening.Virginia has the leagues best returning QB, Brennan Armstrong, and the deepest wideout corps in the nation, headed by Dontavyion Wicks, Keytaon Thompson and Billy Kemp IV, with Lavel Davis Jr. returning after missing 2021 with an ACL injury.The questions abound: the offensive line vamoosed, the defense last year was abysmal, special teams werent all that special.The computers have Virginia going 6-6 or 7-5 this season, which is probably fair, on the aggregate, given the issues that Elliott and his staff have to work through.But that schedule, whoo, boy.ESPNs FPI ranks it 75th nationally, and that might be generous.The Cavaliers dont  stanley cup deutschland play anybody with an FPI rating higher than theirs until October  Louisville, at  Lnmd Del.
