A Pleasant Surprise

I was a little stunned to open up Sports Illustrated's rankings of all 119 Division I-A Football Teams today and found this:
32. Maryland ACC
32? Are the Terps that much better than last year's 6-7 team?

Ranked ahead of Miami? Ahead of Florida State? Ahead of Boston College? Ahead of Michigan and Nebraska?

Well, with the hiring of James Harrison it seems like the offense is going to be revamped this year. And the slate of games this year certainly seems to tip in the Terps favor, even with their two toughest games (Clemson and Virginia Tech) coming on the road this year.

That certainly makes things interesting this year, does it not? It seems to me that an Atlantic Division championship is not out of the realm of possibility for the Terps this year.
