Projection: likely out

Virginia Tech's résumé sends mixed signals to a committee. The Hokies have flashed with a big neutral win over Providence, a marquee victory over Virginia and true road knocks at Syracuse and South Carolina, but those highs are offset by decisive neutral losses to St. Mary's and VCU and a difficult trip at Louisville. Narrow setbacks at Stanford and SMU and uneven results away from home make it hard to view them as a safe selection. The remainder of the ACC slate is pivotal because trips to NC State, Clemson, Miami, North Carolina and back to Virginia are stern tests while home dates against Duke, Wake Forest, Florida State and Boston College are clear chances to add the quality wins committees prize. Unless Virginia Tech converts several of those opportunities the profile will read like a bubble team rather than a locked entry.
