Even with the win today, Virginia Tech's current RPI is 88 (before today it had to be around 100) so that is why they were ignored.

As of now:
RPI 88
Top 50: 3-9
Top 100:  7-11
OOC SOS - 270  (5 of their OOC wins were against sub 300 teams)

Top 50 Wins (all at Home) - Virginia, Pitt, Miami
Bad Losses - RPI #269 Alabama St at Home.  #114 Northwestern at Home.

Our wins are better in quantity and quality because they are on the road. 
In terms of the bad losses -- Home vs Alabama St is actually well worse than at St. John's.   Northwestern is basically the same as Clemson.  We have Georgetown on the road as well, but that is not that bad.

Teams that pile up wins against really bad OOC teams tend to get punished by the committee -- ultimately it gets punished by huring their ability to get a decent RPI.

If they go 2-1 in the ACC, with that second win being a a top 25 win, get the RPI around 70. maybe they surprise on selection Sunday.

But despite being 10-8 in the ACC, they have alot more work to do than us.
