Agree
This year there doesn't seem to be a clear superior team as has been the case the past decade or so. If VT can get hot their pitching can keep them in games and their offense will put up runs. The one thing I worry about is some of this elite type pitching other teams see regularly are our Achilles heel. You saw it this year with LSU and to some extent at Alabama. We just don't see enough of it in the ACC regrettably while a lot of the SEC teams have it. Take Tennessee for example, we just don't see someone throwing 75 regularly and you just can't simulate it.

I think their bottom teams are being artificially propped up

Actually, the 75 mph thing may be something Tech is ready for due to
