You're giving me way too much credit for being creative enough

to try and get under the skin of posters of a school I went to. I'm a VT alum so I enjoy the banter here and cheer for VT 99% of the time. I was legitimately surprised by the ranking and like some posters have alluded to, the first time I read it I thought it said Virginia Tech because that makes more sense! As a UVa softball parent, I'll take the ranking though regardless! As Chip noted, and I agreed with, the RPI rankings seem far more accurate. So yeah, I was genuinely surprised and was just observing how the board would take it. We don't get much discussion on the Wahoo board so I look here for more discussion - that's what these boards are for I thought. ** Edited by VT_AD at 6/12/2024, 4:15:46 PM

It appears I'm not the only one who thought the same
Hokie4Life_89 • 06/12/24 05:38 PM ET
Butthurt over 3rd rate poll having UVA over VT has you in outing mode, sad,

Congrats to him

Some posters are thin-skinned, don’t worry about it.**
hokietony • 06/12/24 11:45 PM ET
Softball America just showed they're SOFT between the ears. **
laphroaig • 06/12/24 04:47 AM ET
We were ok with the Softball America top 100 players though**
VT_AD • 06/12/24 11:52 AM ET
Right is right. You're paid to be right. Wrong should have consequences.**
laphroaig • 06/12/24 12:25 PM ET
Do you think UVA should be ranked higher than Tech?**
dallasvt • 06/12/24 11:58 AM ET
Nope, just pointing out that if we like what they're saying, we're good
VT_AD • 06/12/24 02:10 PM ET
Well, certainly it is possible that
dallasvt • 06/12/24 02:44 PM ET
Very valid
VT_AD • 06/12/24 04:19 PM ET
I honestly think they made a mistake and put Virginia instead of Tech lol**
Hokie_Forester • 06/11/24 09:19 PM ET
You're being honest but the word to describe the mistake itself is STUPID. **
laphroaig • 06/12/24 04:44 AM ET
Final Coaches Poll has the Hokies at #17
VTChip • 06/11/24 08:23 PM ET
These polls make no sense
VT_AD • 06/12/24 11:48 AM ET
Final RPI numbers have VT at #20, UVA at #29, Miami at #35
VTChip • 06/12/24 12:49 PM ET
Agreed**
VT_AD • 06/12/24 02:10 PM ET
Poppycock**
dallasvt • 06/11/24 08:16 PM ET
We went 6-6 against the top 25, and 4-0 vs. the 2 teams ranked 20-25
HolidayInnHokie • 06/11/24 05:21 PM ET
Agreed. Someone screwed up big time.
WVHokie84 • 06/11/24 05:53 PM ET
Based in general on ncaa tournament results**
hokietony • 06/11/24 05:22 PM ET
Doesn’t explain UVA. They were 2-2 in the tourney. We were 1-2. Big deal.
HolidayInnHokie • 06/11/24 05:59 PM ET
Like Liberty, they were regional runner up. Still garbage logic
VTurficus • 06/11/24 08:06 PM ET
Good catch. They just need to call it “NCAA Softball Tournament Rankings”
HolidayInnHokie • 06/11/24 10:17 PM ET
Even then, a team that didn't make supers could have played better than a
schubee • 06/11/24 10:44 PM ET
Just left off the "Tech"**
TomTurkey • 06/11/24 06:42 PM ET
Leaving off the "TECH" is as bad as forgetting to
laphroaig • 06/12/24 11:34 AM ET
It's BAD. TMI.**
TomTurkey • 06/12/24 11:35 AM ET
Lost 3 of the last 4 (all postseason), and 5 of the last 8 overall
hokiehigh2000 • 06/11/24 06:32 PM ET
There's only one team whose season doesn't end in disappointment.
laphroaig • 06/12/24 04:57 AM ET
That’s not a real poll
hokiepro • 06/12/24 12:04 AM ET
It's real poll. A real half-assed poll.**
laphroaig • 06/12/24 04:59 AM ET
nonsense
Hokie4Life_89 • 06/11/24 04:25 PM ET
Ouch**
