Football Notes

CBS Sports "experts" who picked UCLA to finish anywhere between first and fourth (one vote for 1st, two votes for 2nd, one vote for 3rd, and three votes for fourth) in the PAC 12 South, have almost unanimously picked Virginia to finish seventh (last) in the ACC Coastal Division, with one writer picking Virginia to finish sixth.
