Virginia Tech Hokies (7-6, 5-3 ACC)

The Virginia Tech Hokies only won three games in Brent Pry's first season in Blacksburg during the 2022 season. They had an awful start to the 2023 season, losing three of its first four games. However, things began to click for the Hokies, and it showed as they gave FSU a run for their money for parts of their game in Tallahassee before succumbing to a beatdown late. However, they went 5-2, including a beatdown against Tulane in the Military Bowl.

Pry's win total went from three to seven in his first two seasons, and the Hokies return many of the players who helped ignite the turnaround. They have a very favorable schedule in early 2024 and could realistically travel to Miami undefeated for their fifth game. I'm not sure the Hokies will ever get back to their Frank Beamer heydays, but I like the direction they're going.
