country when we played you. We were both unranked in 2008. Clemson was ranked #22 in 2007 when we played you.
So, yeah--perhaps last year--but for the past couple of years--you gotta be kidding.

strength of schedule, you should worry more about how many players you will have when it comes time to play us.
OH thats right you guys only get rid of the ones you need to get rid of so you can free up more scholarships!! Everyone else gets 5 tries!!
Hey Garcia and Holloman don't worry about that trouble you got into we will see you in the fall, Hampton your grades are slipping don't let the door hit ya where the sun don't shine.
Truth about Hampton is more than likely someone is going to "qualify" that wasn't projected to, so we need another scholarship!!

yep when they got word that Manning High School somehow got that defensive tackle to qualify, they had to find a slot for him.

trust me when I say this, but NO ONE in this area had any idea that Dukes was going to be able to qualify...the figured he was headed to prep school if not JUCO.

Prior to this year - Last 4 years…

2007 – 2010 - VT played 2 National Champions (LSU, Alabama), Nebraska twice, and Boise. They have a long term contract with East Carolina who has had some decent teams under Skip Holtz. In 2009 VT played Alabama, Nebraska and East Carolina.
Usually VT has scheduled one very good team each year - since joining the ACC (2004) – prior to 2007 VT played USC (04 Nat Champ) and West VA (2005 – 1 loss team).
This year Syracuse (not too good recently) was originally on schedule but dropped the game.
2007 East Carolina LSU Ohio W&M
2008 East Carolina Furman Nebraska WKU
2009 Alabama Marshall Nebraska East Carolina
2010 Boise JMU East Carolina WMU
VT had Wisconsin scheduled in 08/09 and has been moved to 16/17. Next year the schedule picks up Pitt and Cinn and in 14/15 picks up Ohio State

...but it will be re-calibrated at the end of the season and will appear much easier after the coots' epic collapse has commenced.

After the coots win the SEC East, and we leave Cola with another victory, all will be well with the world.

its kinda hard not too when you dont challenge yourself with the non conference schedual.yet they try to make it out like the SEC teams are so powerful in non conference play.i wonder why?
Games against BCS teams: ACC (44 percent); Pac-12 (41 percent); Big East (40 percent); Big 12 (30 percent); Big Ten (29 percent); SEC (25 percent).

Alright thank you. I read the article on Orangeandwhite.com and it didn't say the rankings were based strictly on BCS teams. Otherwise I was wondering how the hell Tulsa was left off.
