should they get a shot at the national championship? I say yes. Their only loss would be against a team they later beat on a neutral field. You could also make a case for Ok State. It would be a travesty for a rematch between Alabama and LSU.
Virginia Tech has played two games against ranked teams this year (Clemson and Georgia Tech) and lost one of them by 20 points. Their OOC schedule was: App State, East Carolina, Arkansas State, and Marshall.
If they beat Clemson next week, it is entirely possible that they will finish the year having played no teams who are ranked heading into bowl season, which is pretty remarkable.
In short, no.

LSU would beat VT like a rented mule.
I know people hate, loathe, despise the SEC but that conference plays at a completely different level. If you need any further proof, their red-headed stepchild just beat the living crap out of us 41-7.
There just is no other argument that makes sense. Its Bama-LSU.
