MattTheEagle {l Wrote}:We definitely wanted to root againstVT??? However, the fact that they won will not be a killer IF AND ONLY IF we beat VT on tuesday. We essentially needed to do this anyways, but now if we get the sweep against VT it will look extremely good on our resume why we should get in over them and it will likely be considered another quality win.
On a sidenote Baylor beat Texas A&M which is really bad for us. Also, Texas lost to Colorado. These were very bad events in terms of bubble hopes.

You and Murph are right.

i rooted for vpi for two reasons last night:
(1) they were playing dook
(b) i anticipate a let down game
we'll see if this very scientific methodology now works as i hope

You just lost your right to call any person(s) a "moron, idiot, ninny and/or buffoon" and I am revoking your right to use the term "sophomoric."

You missed my point. Not a surprise.

Hmmmm. Was your point that "BC will beat VT (19-8) [on the road, 9pm game.] I am more worried about Wake (8-21) [at home, senior day]"?

Brilliant analysis all the way around....

i think their win against dook brings them above 50 rpi and punches their ticket for a first round ncaa loss

Their RPI is currently 53. The Duke win is great, but they don't have a top-50 road win. In my opinion, they still have some work to do. Their resume isn't really much different was than it was in the last three of four years when they were left out.

True, which makes it even funnier that Dickie told Seth in the postgame that they were definitely in. However, they were in the last couple out the times they were left out and with the bigger field, I have to agree with TREE that they are in at this point.
