This. VTech looking better every week
I want to see VT play Miami before i deem them better than FSU. It's certainly within reason though.

Having NCST ahead of them after them losing to ECU and VT destroying them is laughable. UVGhey fans typically vote for the cutest mascots and male cheerleaders though. :pout:

I honestly think what happened in the Tennessee game was a fluke on your end and a combination of Tennessee being a second half team. Time will tell though, but I think you guys are better than most people want to give credit for

Can anyone explain how they are ranking Boston College anything other than last? They've played 3 conference games, and have scored a total of 24 points.

Amazing things about preseason perception versus reality. The College Football Ranking Composite is a compendium of all the computer ranking sites out there, and their cumulative rankings are generally more accurate than anyone else, but even then, they are prone to influence by the Conventional Wisdom. Here are the comparisons from preseason to today (and I'll include Notre Dame):

Preseason Ranking-----Rank----------Current Ranking-----Rank

Clemson..........................2d.................Clemson....................3d
Florida State....................8th................Louisville...................7th
Notre Dame...................14th................Florida State.............11th
North Carolina................18th................Virginia Tech.............13th
Louisville........................28th...............Miami.......................16th
Pitt................................39th...............North Carolina............30th
Miami............................43d.................NC State...................34th
Virginia Tech...................45th...............Wake Forest...............41st
NC State........................52d.................Pitt...........................42d
Duke.............................60th................Georgia Tech..............51st
Georgia Tech..................61st................Boston College............73d
Virginia..........................73d.................Notre Dame................78th
Boston College................76th................Duke.........................79th
Syracuse........................80th................Virginia......................85th
Wake Forest....................89th................Syracuse...................95th

Broken down by team:

School-------------------Difference

Wake Forest..................+ 48
Virginia Tech.................+ 34
Miami...........................+ 27
Louisville......................+ 21
NC State......................+ 18
Georgia Tech.................+ 10
Boston College...............+ 03
Clemson........................- 01
Florida State..................- 03
Pitt...............................- 03
North Carolina................- 12
Virginia..........................- 12
Syracuse........................- 15
Duke.............................- 19
Notre Dame...................- 64

We know that (a) preseason rankings are utterly worthless; (b) human presumptions are largely based on Conventional Wisdom, which is also often useless, and (c) the ACC is slowly catching up to the best conferences in the P5. I've never been one to attribute the great success of a team simply to a head coach, but i am wondering if Fuente and Richt (among others) are proving me wrong?

We'll see how the rest of the year plays out...

(ahhh...my first stat graph on Hoops...):nod:
