I don't get what the aversion to Virginia Tech is either...its retarded

My biggest aversion to VT is that they are sort of the worst of both worlds between Bama and OK State. VT has a slightly above average loss ( 9-3 Clemson is OK) but VT really doesnt have a truly good win. I mean off the top of your head what is VT's best win?? Same thing for Stanford. Im Ok with a 1 loss team playing for a title if they have a really good loss OR some really nice wins. Id prefer the wins over the loss because the wins show me a higher upside. I get that its all opinion but it shouldnt be. I listened to Mel Kiper on Mike and Mike this morning talk about how we will never know for sure which is the best team without a playoff so we need to base it off of body of work. I thought to myself " Self, that is exactly right. We dont need opinion. We need to base it off the season on a whole". Kiper then proceeded to tell me thru the radio that he had Alabama number 2 because his gut feeling was that they were one of the top 2 teams :) LOL. So much for body of work. It is really surprising to me that so few analysts, writers etc have made a stink about this. OK States resume is better, it just is, I really havent even had any Bama fans tell me Im wrong on that other than to say that Bamas loss is better but who fucking cares about a loss?? Tell me who you beat. I could get a team to go 0-12 against the top 12 teams and it doesnt mean Im the 13th best team in the country.

while i and other hokies appreciate the thought...i think the same argument that people are saying about Bama (who have they played and beaten) could be said 2 fold about us. yeah we're looking really good right now, and who knows maybe could put up a good fight....but

beat Ark St who at the time we thought was a scrub, but now is just outside of being ranked...so not as much of a scrub, maybe

Lost to at the time #13 Clemson (now #21)

beat at the time #20 GT (now unranked)

beat at the time #24 UVA (now unranked)

about to replay #21 Clemson

Bama should be #2 because they are talentwise, I just don't want to see a rematch to be honest.
