Or you could look at it via 2021 reality, instead of continuing to pretend
it's still 2011.
Per the preseason AP rankings, we play:
2 top 10 teams (#9 ND, #10 unc);
3 top 15 teams (#14 Miami);
and 2 more teams in "others receiving votes" (BC, WVU)
Meanwhile, since it is 2021 and not 2011, VT received...zero votes. Thats 5 teams right off the bat that the national media views as "better than us", several of which the media views as "significantly better than us".
Thats a far cry from "The schedule is as favorable as it has ever been.", even if we WERE still getting national respect. 3 top 15 teams, whether or not you personally choose to respect them, is no joke.
