Week 1 Cafe College Rankings Poll Discussion

[deerayfan072]

I'm going to do my rankings tonite...but lose to ECU, who played well and is a pretty decent team but are still ECU, in Week 1 and you aren't going to be in my Top 30, period.

I had them out of my 30, but if Tyrod is the QB I think they could sneak back in.

Yes, they dropped Taylor's redshirt and he will start next game. That puts VT in my top 30, somewhere between 25-30. Not sure where yet.

My exact thought

[Mugrila]

I have them at 28, I think they get better with every game considering just how young the team is as a whole. A lot of playmakers, but it's just a matter of adjusting to the college game.

But what do I know, I'm just a homer.

[VaderFin]

I had VT ranked 22 before the loss...bye bye.

You had them ranked too high, but not by much. Who are you putting ahead of them, and how far down do you think they go? 35? 40? 45?

I think it was dumb to pull the red shirt off though. You already ruined your season, you should just roll with it and have him for an extra season

I disagree, I still think there's a shot at another ACC title game with TT playing. The dumb thing would be to split time between Glennon/Taylor. Taylor needs to get more than the majority of the snaps or it will be a terrible move.

The loss certainly won't ruin a season, take 1995-96 season where we opened with a losses to BC and Cincinnati and ended up running the table and beating Texas in the Sugar Bowl. Not saying we will do that, just that it can be done. Ol' Frank knows that.

I guess its what you consider "ruined". They have no shot at the NC, which is my definition of ruined after week 1.

Although, the division title would be a success, so I guess if they win out it will be a great season

[Mugrila]

With something like 41% of the team having never playing in a college game, I don't think a NC was quite in the cards.
