No, it's because we haven't done anything to say we deserve a top 5 ranking, let alone #1. Last year we had a 2 game slump that ended in a loss. The team came out after that kicking the [Mark May] out of people....which proved to me they just needed a kick in the ass. We're getting to the point where these 3 games against garbage teams aren't just a slump. I always excuse a game against a non conference cupcake as the team just not giving a [Mark May].....and then the following week against a second cupcake they go out and put up 50 points. Well, that isn't happening this year. 3 sleep walks in a row against teams that should have been out of it by halftime. Now it's B1G season, and the teams who are sick to death of hearing about Ohio State are on the schedule. Indiana's offense is serious enough to do damage. Penn State's defense as well. Lose to MSU after all these sleepwalks and we don't even need to worry about it....it's too late at that point.
But if you watched this team for 4 weeks and come away thinking they're going undefeated, good for you. Because after 12-0, we actually do have to play somebody. Maybe that somebody is Ole Miss or Utah. Maybe it's LSU. Maybe it's Georgia. Whoever it is, they're actually going to be good. I haven't seen anything outside of the 1st and 3rd quarter of VT that tells me we're one of the 4 best teams in the country.
