And GT winning a lot more ACC games. So, I think it helped that Miami won, but none of this matters if VT doesn't beat their coastal opponents. But, VT does want each other coastal team to lose at least 2 ACC games, cause VT will have a very difficult time with Clemson and FSU. 6-2 in the coastal should be enough for VT to get in.

Both polls have Bama, Oregon, LSU, FSU one through four. I strongly believe Alabama has earned first place. They've dominated all challengers, are defending champions, and have the best coach in the game. Oregon made a strong case after dismantling Arizona, but I can't help to remember how slow the blur looked against SEC defenses. LSU struggled to put Auburn away, but winning on the road, at night, in the SEC isn't trivial. FSU might have the best resume win of any team in the country.

My top four:

1. Bama
2. / 3. Oregon / FSU
4. LSU

Why do i care if the ACC isn't respected? So some SEC yokel doesn't talk shit at the water cooler? Who cares, UVA losing is a lot better than that.

25th in USA Today and would be 30th in the AP. And yeah, I think they use the AP.

I think for us we REALLY needed the additional games to prepare and start working out our kinks and getting all the newbies some good experience.

Where it says "new" right next to the thread title, could you make that stand out a little more. Cuz when I'm just glancing down the page and a new thread doesn't have any replies yet I sometimes miss it.

Bowling Green held us one point less than Virginia could last year. That is all

Only in-conference games! You always have to cheer for ACC teams in out-of-conference games!

Just spent a few minutes with 'what's new' (should have done that before my first post, obviously...) and i'm hooked! Glad to know it's there, and I, like others, prefer it to navigating the 'recently active forum topics' bar on the right. Good lookin' out Joe.

As a whole, a great rebound effort picking this week, only a couple people bombed it.

manuels at 5-1: pabooth, pRoJeCtPaT16, VTColtTXRangers and weavez22
roccos at 0-6: shakeitallabout and 1-5: DavidWilsonsWhip

overall % lead after 4 weeks are:
pabooth, Chazz Michael Michaels and HokieV

as always check to make sure i didn't mess up.

They use AP, I believe.

If we're going solely for the coastal division, we wanted Miami to beat GT, giving us a leg up on both in the standings. However, GT is really the only team of note that we've beaten so far, so we need them to be as strong as possible if we want any kind of credibility in the rankings. FSU-Clemson is a toss up, as we play both of them. Now that Miami and FSU have won, we need them to win out (except for us obviously) if we want a "statement" victory this season. Every time Miami loses a conference game, though, it helps our cause for the coastal crown.
