I don't have a problem with the Hokies being ranked 3rd. They beat Okie St and Wisc. head-to-head. Should be a good one with Rutgers.Iowa State isn't as strong as past years, but MN is up! Plus ISU had to forfeit 141 due to an injury.It all shakes out in March--I'll take Penn State over Cornell by then...
