You also have to look at the shootings at VT and wonder if that has something to do with why they are ranked as they should not be ranked.
Could be, but this definitely isn't the first time they've been ranked much higher than they should have been. It actually seems like most every year they wind up around 10 spots higher than they should be. Year in and year out they're a decent team, probably somewhere in the top 20-30, maybe even a little higher a couple years here and there. However, they often wind up in the top 10 without much to back it up. When Michael Vick was there, he was a one man wrecking crew capable of carrying a college team. Other than that, they've never been all that good, at least not in comparison to the perennial top teams. That post with their record against ranked teams pretty much speaks for itself.
