The first ACC preseason media poll to ever feature Louisville has been released, and it has the Cards finishing third in the league's Atlantic Division behind Florida State and Clemson.

Here are the complete results of the media's voting:

It would seem the folks in Greensboro believe they have the Atlantic Division just a little bit more figured out than the Coastal, where every team besides Virginia got at least one first place vote. Also, U of L's ACC opener is now officially against one of the league's preseason favorites. Cool stuff.
