I've seen 9 of the teams ranked above VT play; the advantage of going . . . -- MidloHokie Feb 17, 2026 at 02:07 PM ET

Clemson got whacked out of both polls you presented. ** -- RJHokie Feb 17, 2026 at 12:41 PM ET

They lost to Texas State 4-0 and got run-ruled by Arkansas (12-0) -- VTChip Feb 17, 2026 at 12:45 PM ET

Use it as motivation. Think that's a little crazy to drop them 10 spots -- Hokie_Forester Feb 17, 2026 at 12:24 PM ET

Charlotte has become the equivalent of Syracuse for fball/bball** -- VT_ZERWIN Feb 17, 2026 at 12:18 PM ET

That's an unjustifiable drop IMO. Lost two games by a total of 3 runs. -- laphroaig Feb 17, 2026 at 12:11 PM ET

How do you put USC ahead of VT? All their games have been at home and we're -- HokieBurger Feb 18, 2026 at 03:00 PM ET

shouldn't lose to less talented unranked teams -still many opportunities ** -- SuperFeHokie Feb 17, 2026 at 09:55 AM ET

You're right however 3 run difference in 2 losses doesn't add up to 10.** -- laphroaig Feb 17, 2026 at 12:21 PM ET

laphroaig • 02/17/26 12:21 PM ET

losing 2 games by 3 is twice as bad as winning = 2+3 X2 = 10???** -- VermontHokie Feb 17, 2026 at 12:34 PM ET

VermontHokie • 02/17/26 12:34 PM ET

3 runs x 2 games = 6. 5-0 start was worth 6 spots up. No way 2-2 record -- laphroaig Feb 17, 2026 at 01:47 PM ET
