Four straight wins have gotten Virginia Football to bowl eligibility early and moved the Hoos into the national picture a bit. Though not currently ranked in either poll, the Hoos are listed at 25th in ESPN’s power rankings, as well as several other places. The Hoos do have votes in all of the polls.
BYU is going the other direction. Though they are coming off a 21-19 win over Washington State, they had lost their previous two games after starting 5-0. They reached a high of 10th in both polls and then promptly lost to Boise State and Baylor.
