Pinstripe Bowl vs Michigan State

I still think VT will win. If so, they're guaranteed the OB.

I think we compare variably to UVa.

We have no bad losses, but no good wins. We only have one win vs. a bowl team. If BC beats Pitt and UNC beats State, we would have three wins over 6-6 teams.

UVa lost at ND, at Miami (6-5, plays at Duke), at Louisville. So they have a common loss and losses to two teams a tier worse than our losses to Clemson and VT. Their best wins are Pitt and a common win vs. FSU. Obviously a win today would give them a quality win.

Any slim chance at the OB would likely require a narrow win UVa today, a huge Wake win at Cuse, wins by BC and UNC, and for Clemson to throttle UVa.
 
Horrible call on that sweet endzone pick. The DB clearly had possession before his foot landed out of bounds.
 
UVA with a sack strip recovery TD in the end zone to go up 10.
 
Really dont think VT should be dropped from the rankings for a close road loss to their rival.

They absolutely should and will be dropped. Let's remember their 8 wins include Delaware, URI, ODU, & Furman. Not to mention a 35 point loss ot Duke. Yes, they outplayed WF & had some good games of late, but they aren't top 25 after this game. Hats off to UVA!

In a just world, VT, UVA, and Wake would be ranked in the 18-25 range around where those weak AAC teams are ranked.
 
VPI with a 7-4 record for bowl seedings. We beat the cuse tomorrow and VPI can not be selected before us. Now we must pull for Kentucky.

VT can be Tier 1 along with WF and therefore eligible for any Tier 1 Bowl.
 
Orange takes the highest ranked team among SEC, Big10 or ND. Right now is Penn St. This allows the Citrus to open up and take ND, leaving the Camping world for Wake.

No bowl in FL is going to pick us unless they are contractually obligated to.
