What will realistically happen in the rankings now?
We were #67 in net rankings one spot ahead of 4-loss Notre Dame. UVa was #21 in the polls and #26 in the net. UVa lost to a Tech team without its full roster and Tech is 12-2 (1-0)versus UVa at 11-2 (0-1).
I also see where SMU at 11-2 (0-0) and Miami 12-2 (1-0) are #31 and #37 respectively while 10-4 (1-0) NCSU is ranked #32.
Lots of screwy rankings. UVa was way over ranked. UVa is still the only school I’ve ever witness move up to #1 the week they lost to Tech. Sun seems to shine on that school for whatever odd reason.
I wonder if Tech makes a significant move forward?

Hoping to see a bigger improvement in the Net.

I’ll just find it interesting if UVa dropped less than we gained especially since we have a slightly better overall record by 0.5 games and honestly can’t see where UVa’s SOS is that much stronger when looking at their opponents and opponents records versus what Tech has played against.
Not saying we should be 26th but definitely don’t think UVa belongs there. If life were fair I could see Tech and UVa neck and neck in the upper 30s to lower 40s.

But its huge VT hit the maximum of 10 margin of victory against a Q1 opponent regardless of who did or didnt play
What does it do for VT on Jan 1? Not much, but it doesnt really matter. VT just needs wins and let their record speak for itself while adding the context at the end (i.e. missing key contributors) which the committee does take into account and thats all that matters

its description of what is actually in the NET. Efficiency is clear; the TVI is the mystery.
