NC State is up to #16, as of DEC 16. That should bump up a spot or two given the Vanderbilt win over Arizona State..
NC State is currently the 31st best team in the country according to the media professionals, who deem 13th ranked Virginia Tech much better (lost to Penn State, and also sport a soft schedule).
