After Virginia Tech (1-0) knocked off West Virginia in a renewed rivalry that gave audiences everything they could ask for, the Hokies move to #18 in both the AP Poll and Coaches Poll. The Hokies jumped 4 spots in the Coaches and 3 spots in the AP.
While the tendency is probably to put too much weight on the rankings in the first few weeks, this does raise a couple of interesting points. First, the Hokies are one of five teams from the ACC to be ranked in the AP Top 25.
