PrintThe Virginia Tech Hokies stayed put at No. 5 in the BCS rankings released Sunday, Nov. 27.
The Hokies are behind LSU, Alabama, Oklahoma State and Stanford in the latest rankings after getting jumped by the Cardinal, who were No. 6 last week. Tech staying at No. 5 can be blamed on the composite computer rankings, which dropped the Hokies from No. 7 to No. 10 this week. The Cardinal jumped from No. 9 in the computers rankings to No. 4.
With LSU and Alabama all but locked into the BCS National Championship Game and the Hokies unlikely to receive an at-large BCS bid, Tech controls its destiny in terms of where it goes bowling. Beat Clemson this week and the Hokies will go to the Orange Bowl. Lose, and they will probably head to Atlanta for the Peach Bowl.
Nothing matters for the Hokies other than playing Clemson this weekend for the chance to win a second consecutive ACC title.

They jump us after beating Notre Dame. I hate how the media loves Notre Dame. Every year it preseason talk about how this is their year and every year they are just not a good football team. Meanwhile we put together a dominant performance against a competent rival and get jumped…
Media had nothing to do with it. We were ahead of Stanford in both human polls. They jumped us because of the computers.

Blame Clemson, GT, and Wake Forest
It’s not about our win, it’s about the fact the GT, Clemson, and Wake Forest all lost to SEC teams bringing our overall Strength of Schedule down.
good points
I didnt think about Clemson GT and Wake losing.
Winning out would give the mighty Hokies their best win/loss record yet
Clemson Tigers, you’re next. Though I found it highly unlikely Tech would play for the BCS title this year, I absolutely HATE the idea of two teams from the SAME conference, and SAME division playing for the championship! Bama isn’t even going to their conference championship! I really hope someone else jumps into the #2 spot before the big game.

Great win for the Hokies
I never saw a shutout coming! The Cavs made me believe they would actually give us a game this year!

More fodder
for a playoff system.
So tired of hearing the same old lame excuses against adopting a playoff system. At least admit that it’s all about greed & be done with the lies.
