The Word:

Virginia Is a Top-25 Team?

At the very end of the conflict clash battle Rotary meeting between UConn and Virginia one of the ESPNU play-calling crew (Doug Bell or Charles Arbuckle) asserted that Virginia would be in the top-25 with its 17-16 win at home over UConn, to move the Hoos to 6-1.

Say what? Yes Virginia is unbeaten in the ACC. Sure UConn had been 5-0 and one of eleven remaining undefeated teams left in 1-A football, but they were also the only one of them not to be ranked in the top-25. I realize that the number of possible top-25 teams is shallower and shallower each week, but Virginia?

Losing to Wyoming in the opening game? Eking out 2 point wins over Middle Tennessee State and North Carolina? Aside from 4-3 GT, this was only the Hoos 2nd win against a team that has a .500 or better record. Surely somewhere in 1-A there has to be a better choice.
