Since I asked the question - naturally, I have an opinion:
North Carolina. I like them to contend in '08 for the ACC title.
Butch Davis knows how to win (in college). He has assembled a sterling coaching staff. Together, they had a very good recruting class last year, and some of those true frosh played, and will be better this year.
I didn't check yet to see how they did recruiting this year, but they seem to have a nose for talent, and the persuasion to lure solid players to their school.
Heels pulled off a few upsets in '07. I look for them to make some real noise this fall
Who else has a nominee, and why?
