The Gods of college football definitely delivered this weekend.
Wish all college football weekends could all be like this.
And hate being ranked in the 20s. Or the teens for that matter.
What people said style points don't matter?
Rankings are all about style points and wins over other teams with style points.
I feel for you. I am off work and won't really have to deal with it. They probably won't lose except when Bama thumps them and will stroll to SEC championship with a Bama rematch.
Doesn't really matter, though. Either we beat UNC or we're unranked anyway.
If we play disciplined, controlled and smart ball against UNC, we will continue to climb.
I want to see Teller have a complete, and dominate game. If so, we'll an offensive machine in action, since he sets the tone for the other linemen.
GO HOKIES!
Thanks, man. While it probably won't affect me and my family's travel plans, their are a lot on TKP that it will. Know that your work is appreciated.
We should leapfrog 3-2 FSU and UNC with a victory this week, but the Noles/Canes game (during an actual hurricane?) could shake things up some more.
Poor ND, Pitt, Duke and UVA have round-robin'ed themselves out of a single vote.
It's about god damn time. Let the climb up the polls begin.
I know people say "style points" don't matter but here'a proof they clearly do.
If the BC and ECU were Beamer era wins at 17-0 and 24-17, I don't think we're ranked today. And say what you will about mid season rankings not mattering but I've got to think it excites both recruits and fan base alike.
Happy that this regime knows how to put the foot down on the gas even with a lead.
I am glad, but it is unexpected. With the bye, I thought we would not be ranked until we beat UNCheat.
Now, the Syracuse game has trap written all over it. Away game with little fan support and likely nooner versus a potent, yet struggling team. We beat UNC and Miami keeps winning, it could be a top 20, maybe 15 matchup that we are all pining for. Avoid the trap, Hokies, it's your only hope!
Means about as much as UVA's spring festival attendance right now.
Bye week didn't help in this regard. These teams put on some good displays/storylines while VT sat at home. Read somewhere that the Coaches Poll is more "cautious".
4-2. I should have stuck with the UGA pick, I backed out of it Friday night when Chubb was announced out.
"...and now the real chess match begins."
Just checked ESPN.com, they're using the AP ranking. Would be some fan motivation if they or UNC chose to use the Coaches Poll on game day.
Western Michigan, LSU, Michigan State, Maryland, UGA, Air Force, and UCLA.
I'm supposed to fly from DC next Sunday (9th) headed to Orlando for a trip before I deploy (yet again). Should we be ok for the flight out of DC?
Just getting home from hospital and saw this. Happy but wondering who the Coaches SID's voted ahead of Tech.
2013. People forget we were 6-1 before it all went to crap
True that! But I'll take it. Something to be said for never quitting though.
I'll just leave this here!

Besides the ranking after the Ohio Stats win 2 years ago, when was the last time we were ranked?
Any idea when it is going to hit Rhode Island and Massachusetts?
Bragg went 0-6 this week while adding the pics... and you only got 2 wins. I think that's a clear sign to indicate who should post the cheerleaders...
