Virginia Tech finished the 2024 season (6-7, 4-4 ACC), but their season could have been much different. They lost two games in overtime, blew a huge lead against Miami, and lost two more games by only three points.

Some of those losses came late in the season when they lost their starting quarterback, Kyron Drones.

Virginia Tech will have new coordinators on both sides, but took a while to make those hires since they didn't get their first few options. They lost a ton of players to the portal, five in the 2025 NFL Draft and nine UDFAs.

They added a ton of guys in the portal, but I don't think they have the same level of talent. FSU should take this one.
