Completely agree with the NC State rankings there. They'll win those four games and people will talk of how they are on the rise and then they'll get smoked by Clemson or something. I guess to NC State winning 8 games in a year is a big deal so good for them. Until they are contending for the Atlantic I agree with Andy on this one.

I think you have to look at the overall schedule, though. OOC games need to be balanced with how tough the conference games are.
Still, I like seeing VT schedule at least one heavyweight, and preferably a welterweight (or two welterweights) by this scale.
To be fair, it's probably not that easy to predict, as most teams are capable of switching at least one category between scheduling and playing.
Hard to know what UVa was thinking, other than they just didn't care about their overall record, so were willing to risk it to pull in some interest to their program. At a minimum, they were over-optimistic. What do they have to lose, other than humiliation, right?

Interesting way to look at things.

I figure in most cases, the conference schedules all balance out, unless you get combos like FSU/Clemson, or VT/GT as your crossovers.
