"B-" WTF??

[MACHETE]

They should do a "Grading the Sun Belt programs." Every school gets an F.

Dividing these up by conference but grading each team from a national perspective is beyond retarded.

Exactly.

And the grade becomes what with Gibbs plus one other (and do transfers count in rating?)

https://n.rivals.com/news/nsd-grading-the-acc-programs[/QUOTESubjective reasoning is a beautiful thing. The quasi-"experts" can give us whatever grade they want as long as we go out in the future and perform better than grade. The rest is up to us.

Hey we’re all clicking on it and reading the whole thing just to piss them off. Sounds like they’re getting their job done.

That's because the OP is lazy and didn't quote anything for us, instead opting for a clickbait title and a blind link

In hindsight, it really is very impressive what Frank Beamer did in Blacksburg

Sounds pretty good to me since, we had been getting G- the past 11 years

We just had our our 2nd best class since Rivals started doing rankings, how the hell is that a B-? Meanwhile, FSU signs the worst class they have ever had since Rivals started doing rankings, and gets a B?

Oh, I guess they're doing it purely on class ranking, with no consideration of history or situation. That explains why Duke (ranked 57) gets the same grade as us (ranked 23). Wait...

Even if they aren't counting Jahmyr Gibbs in their evaluation, this is very poorly done.

Eh. Dumb article is dumb. Grades don't correlate to the objective rankings on their own site. Don't seem to correlate to much of anything.

No doubt about that. In the space of ten years VPI went from being a Sunbelt caliber program to playing in the national championship game.

Fun fact: VPI athletics didn't become a *full* member of a BCS conference until 2000.

That said, what was built shouldn't fall apart so easily. Given our score against them last season I should probably hold my tongue regardless of recruiting rankings.

@MCRP09 You haven't killed yourself or anything, have you? Because that would be just terrible.

edit: How about now?
edit: You know there's a lot of stuff in your home, most of it under the kitchen sink you use for a toilet, which is deadly when consumed. But you'd probably have to drink all of them, so you should still be safe if you only drink half. Try it out, live a little. As little as possible.
