I appreciate the fact that he took the time to respond. While I don't necessarily agree with the logic of some of the voters, he did not owe me an explanation, and he still took the time to give me his thoughts. He also shared that he is planning to come to Salem next Thursday to catch some of the Hokie Invitational. He shared that D1 Softball had more than a dozen voters in their poll so he could only hypothesize the logic of the voters who had Georgia in front of VT. I thought that was fair and I appreciate him doing so. He comments was "I feel pretty safe in assessing that most of the voters gave Tech more credit for beating Georgia than they faulted Georgia for the losses. Jumping 12 spots in the rankings is no small thing.": "Georgia's Clearwater showing certainly helped bouy them...I have to think Georgia's pitchers being out helped contribute to them not getting faulted more than they did. It didn't keep VT from jumping up, but I feel like it was a factor in (Georgia) staying put. As I said at the start of the post, I don't have to agree with him, but I do better understand some of the voters' thought processes. And, as I said yesterday, Week 3 Polls don't matter very much in the overall scheme of things. Just win and everything will take care of itself. Let's Go Hokies!!!!
