Virginia Tech's rehabilitation is nearing completion. The pre-season favorite is not only leading the ACC comfortably, but now appears in the top 10 of the dominance ranking. Wisconsin and Oklahoma are in the top 10 (or 11) while Utah still hasn't fallen out of it, despite being outscored 75-10 in its last two games. Perhaps no other statistic illustrates how thoroughly the Utes dominated their first eight foes, whom Utah outscored 362-113.
