CFBHurts	3	NC State should be an upper half ACC team and Virginia throttled them start to finish

Charlemagne42	10	Conference blowouts early get you a top 10 ranking.
SpadeRyker	10
Justanother_0	11	It looks like the Cavaliers are picking up where they left off from last year. If their pass game can even come close to their run game then they’re gonna be unstoppable on offense.

Doogitywoogity	13	I was very impressed by Virginia week 0. I had ranked them preseason off of hope, but a strong showing vs NC St who I think will be solid upper mid ACC was better than most other squads who played cupcakes.

SufferingfOrLife	15	NEW Result: (W) 34-8 NC State I am 100% overreacting to a Week 0 game, but damnit better late than never to be all in on them. I didn't even watch this game live; I went back and watched a replay of it, and my goodness, it was amazing. I just love a team that can run the ball; it's just my blind spot in rankings. If you have multiple running backs that I like, or just a good run game in general like this Virginia team, I'll like you more than consensus. It's been my theme in these rankings, or at least partially. Virginia also has a light schedule; I see them being really good again, and who knows, they can easily find their way back into the ACC championship game.

lowes18	21	Virginia looked dominant on both sides of the lines of scrimmage against NC State, and effectively used Pribula's legs to run away with the game. I was also surprised by the effectiveness of UVA's pass game and their WR play although their o-line did a lot of that work for them. Given how depleted NC State's roster is, its hard to tell just how good UVA is, but those lines of scrimmage looked very good in the one game game they played.

Pyromania1983	25	Team was firing on all cylinders with new QB Beau Pribula at the helm. After barely missing out on the Playoffs last season due to losing in the ACC title game, Virginia has an even better QB and overall team to make things happen this year.
redrumsoxLoL	25	I really liked the way Virginia played against NC State in Week 0 and they should be a favorite in the ACC this season.
