N.C. State quarterback Russell Wilson was the 2008 first-team All-ACC quarterback as a freshman. Other seasoned, emerging QBs on top teams include T.J. Yates at UNC ("He's kind of got his resume yet to build," coach Butch Davis said of the injury-plagued junior), FSU's Christian Ponder, and Tyrod Taylor at Virginia Tech. Florida State is predicted to win the Atlantic Division, and Virginia Tech is again favored in the Coastal. (Tar Heel Daily)
