It is splitting hairs distinguishing between #10 and #11 but GT doesn't break off a 39 yard run on 3rd and 7 and VT could have beat them at their home field. I think VT beats them at home and likely at a neutral site as well. VT has played a very tough schedule and that's why I rewarded them with the 10th spot. It's debatable that GT would even be 5-2 if they played VT's schedule.

Maybe but you said you ranked them on what they had done.

That doesn't mean you throw out where the game was played.

They beat them on the field where the game was scheduled. They rushed for over 300 yards against them. It wasnt some fluke.

And this is the problem with rankings. Results of the games mean less than the opinion of the ranker.

Do computers have opinions as well? The most widely accepted computer rankings is the Sagarin and they have Va Tech ahead of Georgia Tech as well:

Computer rankings are as bad if not worse. Tell the guys who play for Ga Tech that even though they beat Va Tech who is now a 2 loss team, you are still ranked behind them. Whats ironic is that the same NCAA runs a tourney to determine a natl champion and upsets by low seeded teams are highlighted. In football they are shunned. Hell we should have the top 5 Vegas bookmakers write lines for every theoretical game played on a neutral field and use those too. At least they have something on the line in their rankings.
