Who Our Soon to be Vanquished Foes Play Before and After Us

PrintNo team has a bye week before playing the Hokies this year. That's really not that suprising considering college football's regular season is 14 weeks this year compared to last year's 15. Teams in conferences with championship games have to cram their 12 regular season games into the season's first 13 weeks. And since the Hokies don't play any teams from the six conferences that don't host championship games. There's not much extra prep time for our soon to be vanquished foes in 2009.
| Opponent | Date | Pre | Post |
| vs. Alabama | Sept. 5 | None | Florida International |
| Marshall | Sept. 12 | Southern Illinois | Bowling Green |
| Nebraska | Sept. 19 | Arkansas State | UL-Lafayette |
| Miami | Sept. 26 | Ga. Tech (9/17) | Oklahoma |
| at Duke | Oct. 3 | NC Central | at NC State |
| Boston College | Oct. 10 | Florida State | NC State |
| at Georgia Tech | Oct. 17 | at Florida State | at Virginia |
| Bye Week | Oct. 24 | - | - |
| North Carolina | Oct. 29 | FSU (10/22) | Duke |
| at East Carolina | Nov. 5 | at Memphis (10/27) | at Tulsa (11/15) |
| at Maryland | Nov. 14 | at NC State | at Florida State |
| NC State | Nov. 21 | Clemson | North Carolina |
| at Virginia | Nov. 28 | at Clemson | None |
Only three opponents (Alabama, Miami and ECU) will have more than a week before playing the Hokies. It's also interesting that three consecutive opponents play Florida State before playing us.
Georgia Tech got the short end of the scheduling stick. It plays two road games, then faces us in Atlanta and then has two road games after that. Brutal.

I wouldn't like
Giving Saban that much time to prepare for you. Look what happened to Clemson and “Lightning and Thunder”.
36-0
I think it’s always “Thunder and Lightning”. Semantics aside, the last time VT faced Saban when he was at LSU we donkey punched them. I think both coaches will utilize their time to prepare.

maybe so...
but you and ever bama fan have to admit tommy bowden is leagues away from frank beamer. bama will get a much better game by the hokies than clemson, to think otherwise is blatant bias for your team.
No I agree with you there
Tommy Bowden was a joke, and I have a lot of respect for Frank Beamer. Sidenote: The “Lightning and Thunder” part was a pure typo. I also KNOW that it will be a much better game, and I look forward to it.
