I'm guessing the ACC bias is because BYU lost to UVA

last year and is the only D1 team to lose to them in two years...until last week. If they win this week it will go a long way towards changing that perception/bias. Especially if they win big which I'd love but don't expect. BYU just doesn't win big very often in week 4-7.

In the end you gotta...

Just. Win. Baby.

If you throw out those that don't have us ranked, our average ranking *is* 21

Connecticut gave us one of the highest rankings. Go figure!

There's a real opportunity to make a splash in the ACC this week.
