True, but NCAA doesn't really use Massey

Massey is a VT grad so I appreciate what he does. And, he puts his numbers out there as soon as the season starts which makes them my go-to early in the season. About four weeks in, the metrics for RPI, KPI, and DSR, which the NCAA uses for selection Sunday, start to appear. I posted the current ranking in all of them above. But by just about any metric, the UVA schedule leaves something to be desired. ** Edited by VTChip at 3/17/2026, 12:09:25 AM

HokieGAK • 03/16/26 01:53 PM ET
No. They were ranked 25th. Hard to jump number 10 with 2 wins
