Three ACC Football programs are ranked in each of the preseason Top 25s released on Monday. Good news for UVA Football fans: we won’t see any of them until Dec. 6, at the earliest.

The three: Clemson (#4 AP, #6 Coaches), Miami (#10 in both), SMU (#16 in both).

We do get three schools in the others receiving votes category – Louisville, FSU and Duke.

The ESPN Football Power Index ranks UVA’s schedule 84th nationally among the 136 programs in D1.

The highest-ranked team, per the FPI, on the schedule is: Virginia Tech, at #26.

Just two others in the Top 50 on the sked: Louisville (#41) and FSU (#48).

FPI has Virginia at #63 in its preseason rendering, projecting a 6.6-5.4 finish, or thereabouts.
