Buzzketball Central: Hokies debut at #9 in the Initial NET Rankings

While its great that the Hokies rank so high in the initial rankings with several strong wins in their early resume, also take into account that Ohio State is the #1 team in the rankings. The Hokies should continue to be highly ranked but this is a new ranking system and has some serious flaws. Duke ranks 6th, Kentucky 61st, Texas Tech is higher than every team in the ACC outside of LOLUVA. This is another indication that this kind of ranking really should wait to be revealed until later in the season, similar to how the CFP rankings are delayed.

The Article at least does a decent job of explaining how we got to where we are in terms of ranking scoring parameters.
