The good news undoubtedly outweighs the bad news for Cavalier football fans this week. The Hoos won their first game of 2016 and beat a quality opponent in doing so. Central Michigan is no Alabama, but make no mistake, the Chippewas are a solid team that will contend for a MAC title. Before you guffaw and dismiss that as homer-talk, consider some data from the Sagarin rankings.
Going into week 5, only half of the teams in the ACC have wins over opponents ranked in the Sagarin top 70. The other half of the league boasts wins that are comparable to or less impressive than UVA’s win over CMU.
