4th in BE, 4th in ACC.

On the body of work, I guess that fair. But right now, SU is playing at a higher level than that.

WVU #52

 

[Crusty]

Seems reasonable but I would really like another crack at Cincy and Rutgers.

 

[GoSU96]

Seems about right. Maybe inside the top 40 but it's still pretty significant progress.

By my quick count, only 29 teams received anything higher than B+.
