"The Hokies became the first team since the 2003 NCState Wolfpack to beat Duke and UNC in the same week"
How many teams have played both NC State and Duke in the same week in the past 3 years? Dosn't seem like much of an accomplishment to me.

I quickly glanced over some old ACC schedules, and I noticed the the following teams to play UNC and Duke in the same week:
Florida State (2004), Georgia Tech (2005, who played them two days in a row), Georgia Tech (2006), Wake Forest (2006), Miami (2006). There were probably others that I missed as well.
Boston College, Wake Forest, Maryland, and Clemson will all do it later this year as well.
Not to mention any time you beat two perennial powerhouses with a combined 7 national championships, it's a pretty big deal.
