After a week that saw the Cavaliers riding high from a road victory at Louisville and a last second home loss at the hands of Florida State Dwayne Bacon, the polls rewarded UVa, but only a little bit.
The AP poll saw UVa move up only a spot from No. 12 to No. 11 thanks to UNC’s loss at Georgia Tech on Saturday. The two teams that the Cavaliers have dropped games to this season were some of the biggest movers this week with the WVU going from No. 11 to No. 7 and FSU from No. 20 to No. 12.
