Can anyone tell me who gives a ### about the polls?

Its not like VT's ranking will help them in the next game or that our's will hurt us. If we beat the Beverly Hillbillies we will be ranked high enough in the off season to get where we want to go next year.

I live in Maryland. Was wondering about that smell. Was pretty sure it was coming from College Park for once. Thanks for the heads up.

Doesn't bother me at all: Combined score 61-13

My 10yr old's friend at school, a VT fan, said we are going to a better bowl game than Clemson.....(which is probably the sentiment on the Hokie Board...I dunno)..
I told him he could say - well "Good luck!!! 61-13!".
By the way - I also told him not to initiate any conversation today....I would also point out that he proudly wears a #10 Clemson jersey to school every Monday..

Raise up your son in the way he should go, and he will not depart from it.

I expect that usuc will lose their game. It is the natural order of things.

No, but they did lose to Clemson 2 times. Probably would have waxed usuc, but don't know about the others. Clemson Tigers kicked som Hokie rear ends. You don't have to like it, but facts are facts. Now, when it comes to usuc, I will say that "Flukes are flukes!" There is no other way to explain that one.

Must be all that secheat "speed". It is showing up everywhere. If other conferences got the advantages of the extra $$$ the secheat gets, and the extra publicity the ESecheatPN gives them, then the polls wouldn't be so lopsided. All it takes is a look at the recent NCAA sanctions, and the ones that soon will be forthcoming, to explain the polls, and the $$$ commited to the secheat by ESecheatPN to explain the bias. There is good news, though. I won't have to watch the "national championship" game, because I already saw LSU win that one, and I saved a lot on car insurance, and I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express lately.

Uhmm...VT did not lose to GT and NCST and SCAR

There are a lot of teams that win a bunch of games every year. The polls take this pool of teams and ranks them based upon their losses.

Why just Harris? USA Today/Coach poll has VT and Clemson
Dec 6, 2011, 8:46 AM

ranked same as Harris. Not that I am defending the Harris poll, there have just been a lot of articles written over the last 7 days from a couple sources critical of Harris poll, but the same criticism applies to the USA Today poll, and none of the aritcles seem to have an issue with it.
