Also, FSU, VT, UM and NCSU are all tied in the AWRU rankings at "151-200", yet this VT fan lists VT as ranked higher than the other 3 in the chart. How convenient.

The SAT averages are wrong. Pitt's actual CR+M SAT average last year (eg Fall 2013) was 1293.

The "pseudo-average" for Pitt last fall, which is what you seem most of the time and is derived by adding the 25th and 75th percentile cutoffs reported by Common Data Sets and dividing by two, was 1270.
The "pseudo-average" SAT for ACC schools for Fall 2013 is the following.

No, no it's not.
You are correct opinion has been reduced to 22.5%
