Notes

• We're soooo close to having a full slate of six league games this week. Darn you, Boston College and your bye week. I shake my fist of righteousness at you. We'll have to settle for the Hokies' trip to Greenville and five ACC games.
• There was a lot of choking going on in the league in Week 9. Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Virginia all get a huge pile of fail.
• If this were a ranking and not a power poll, Florida State would probably be ahead of Duke.
• If I weren't a huge Virginia Tech homer, the Hokies would probably be a lot lower since this is a power poll and not a ranking. But, I am. So there.
• There's some separation between the three tiers of teams right now: Good, mediocre and bad.
