I'm glad you posted this. I saw it earlier and literally laughed out loud.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.

I saw Bronco earlier.
I tried to ask him about it.
But he just walked away.

Wait so tLOL just got burned by Dictionary.com?

Well in Dictionary.com, good to see the fight in you.

EDIT: On further reflection, I didn't know this was a thing I could hope for.

Imagine getting bodybagged by the dictionary.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Wait, who the fuck is Nick Martin and why is Deadspin allowing him to do things like a college football top 25 where UVA is #23?!??

VT_Fencer's picture VT_Fencer | 7 years 11 months # ^

Because Deadspin isn't a serious sports blog.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

There's clearly a UVa guy there.

Because UVa isn't top 25 in anything football.

They barely even have a Top 25 of ACC-caliber players.

Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 25 teams that you, the readers, voted to be most worthy of writing about. Now, No. 23 Virginia.

The poll has nothing to do with how good the team is.

It's not a poll, and really was fantasy on someone's part.

I'm guessing some UVa fan weaseled his way in and wrote it.

[Joe Reed] worked well last season in the role of the deep threat. ...after a relatively quiet season (23 catches, 244 yards)

Uh... what? If you're going to contradict yourself, I'd recommend trying not to do so in the very next sentence.

Joffrey, Cersei, Ilyn Payne, the Hound, Jeff Jagodzinski, Paul Johnson, Pat Narduzzi.

bcollins0921's picture bcollins0921 | 7 years 11 months # ^

It's not a serious thread. They do this every year.

The top five usually consist of whatever school Lane Kiffin is at, Liberty, UCF (Cause it pissed Bama fans off), Kansas, and Central Michigan or somebody like that.

Also, browsing this morning and saw La Sabre talking about it. They see it as a good thing yet they don;t realize people votes on the teams that are the shittiest or have the most controversy. In other news, I will now refer to them as Sabre....saBreee (the office)

macraw83's picture macraw83 | 7 years 11 months # ^

To summarize the other responses to this and add some additional insight... each year, Deadspin solicits votes for a "top 25" where they will write an article about each of the 25 teams. As it is entirely run by readers of the site, you're going to get a bunch of trolls that pick teams that nobody in their right mind would want to spend time researching and writing about unless you have some connection to them. This means Kansas is a perennial top-5 team in their "rankings". In 2015, they voted UCF #1 who then went 0-12. In 2016, they again voted UCF #1, who improved to 6-7 and made a bowl game. In 2017, they once again voted UCF #1, and UCF went on to win a "national championship".

I'm assuming UCF will once again be #1 in their "rankings", and it will once again have nothing to do with their on-field prowess.

Seriously, surely no one could be so uninformed as to think one of the worst power 5 conference teams in the country is a potential top 25 team, right? The writer must have just gotten Virginia and Virginia Tech confused, right?

And honestly, which would be more embarrassing: mixing up Virginia and Virginia Tech, or actually knowing what you are talking about and coming to the conclusion that Virginia is a top 25 team?

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.

The Deadspin rankings are a joke. They treat it as a joke up front and people vote for awful teams to make the writers write something positive about terrible programs. They do this every year.

Though, that article went way over the top. I mean they said UVa might contend for the Coastal in the next 5 years...

See my post above. The rankings have nothing to do with how good the team is, just a fan poll of who they wanted to see written about.
