[Renaissance Man]

I would not put as much weight on the James Madison loss as the media has all year.  The game was played on a Thursday, after a Saturday night game that was a crushing loss to Boise.  Given that the Boise game was a late game, and away from home (although reasonably close), not much preparation would have taken place on Sunday, leaving Monday to game plan, tuesday to practice, Wednesday for a walk-through and a game on Thursday.  Va Tech was basically a very unprepared yeam, playing a let-down game that they thought they would win by showing up.  Even though they should have won, a poor performance like they actually posted was more than predictable.  They bounced back well and are very underrated.
