CFN Post - Spring College Football Rankings

http://collegefootballnews.com/2016/post-spring-college-football-ranking...

CFN typically does a pretty good job on their rankings. These however fail to give any real insight or leverage any relevant information. But hey, we are in the dead zone so why not talk about how they missed it... Well at least with one team from the Commonwealth of Virginia.

79. Virginia (4-8)

2015 Final Season Ranking: 87
2015 Preseason Prediction: 5-7

New head coach Bronco Mendenhall is going to be in for a rocky first season. There should be a passing game, and there might be a few excellent players to build the defense around – Quin Blanding is one of the nation's best defensive backs – but it's going to be a battle for a while.

This one seems about right to me. I think things will take a bit longer than the LOLUVA fans care to admit. But Bronco needs to do a complete overhaul of that program, no least of which is bringing in some talent.

42. Virginia Tech (7-6)

2015 Final Season Ranking: 60
2015 Preseason Prediction: 6-6

New head coach Justin Fuente is about to infuse a better, more effective offense with eight returning starters about to improve the Hokie attack. The defense is going to be an issue, especially up front, but watch out – there's enough talent there for Fuente to do something special right away.

Looking through O&M glasses, this seems to be a bit low. Especially when you consider the reason given. "The defense is going to be an issue, especially up front..." Just an ounce of research, simply 60 seconds of digging and the blogger(s) could have figured this one out...

You will see this game, this upset and this sign next on ESPN Sportscenter. Virginia Tech 31 Miami 7

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
