Hokies Ranked 8th in ACC Preseason | Hokie Basketball News

Virginia Tech’s 2025-26 season ended in disappointment with a 10th-place ACC finish and a first-round ACC Tournament loss, but the Hokies remain on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Despite losing key players to the NBA and enduring injuries, coach Mike Young kept the core intact, setting the stage for a hopeful 2026-27 campaign. College basketball insider Jon Rothstein has Virginia Tech ranked eighth in the ACC — ahead of NC State and Florida State, behind Duke and UNC — a ranking that sparks debate given their recent struggles. With no Duke matchup on the horizon and an expanded 76-team NCAA field, an eighth-place finish could position the Hokies for a strong tournament run.
