Virginia had been inching its way up in the computer rankings throughout its eight-game winning streak.

The one loss to Pitt took away a lot of those gains.

It’s kind of like how, when you’re trying to lose weight (hand raised here), you eat right, exercise, lose a few ounces each day, then go out for Mexican, have chips and salsa and a margarita, and, boom.

Anyway, here’s the damage.

Metric Previous Rank Rank Today Change
SOR  22 32  +5
ELO  15 30  +1
KPI  24 32  +6
NET  34 41 -2
BPI  33 37  0
KenPom  48 51  -1
Average  29.3 37.2  -7.9
