The Virginian-Pilot’s Ed Miller recently noted that Old Dominion is the nation’s only 1-5 team to have beaten a ranked opponent.
In other words, ODU has the best 1-5 team in the country. And that’s not exactly what the Monarchs want to hang their hats on.
ODU’s sole victory was that unforgettable, 49-35, home triumph over No. 13 Virginia Tech. Yes, the Monarchs played over their heads and with a ton of emotion and the crowd really got them going. But even if they did overperform that evening, it’s difficult to fathom how the same team lost to Charlotte, FIU and East Carolina.
