So the FanPulse Data is in, and the Top Ten is shifting around a bit. Alabama is still ranked #1, but the remainder of the bigs were in a bit of a boil. Georgia’s loss, and some other unusual mid-season events created a slightly different poll.

The Heisman Tropy way too early candidate is:

And finally, the poll covering the how we feel about the program direction is looking a bit healthier. I am sure that the UNC game will go a long way to changing the tone of the fan base... one way or the other. Right now we are just a hair over 50%.

So, we head into week 8, it’s now officially the half way point for the Hokies. We have a 4-2 record of which only 3-2 counts. Tech needs to find a way to win at least 3 more games, and it would be really nice if they could figure out a way to beat the remainder of their ACC opponents. Carolina would be a great start.
