Virginia Tech Ranked Seventh

On3’s preseason ACC rankings have Virginia Tech at No. 7, behind Miami, SMU, and Duke — a spot that feels fair given their rebuilding season. Pitt’s shocking No. 11 ranking stirs debate, especially with their QB returning and last year’s 8-5 finish. Duke’s placement also sparks questions, despite solid coaching, as key transfers depart. For VT, the early slate — VMI, ODU, Maryland — looks winnable, setting up a potential 4-0 start. The stretch run against Clemson, SMU, and Miami is tougher, but with Clemson slipping, VT could sneak to 7 or 8 wins. Bottom line: it’s all guesswork — but VT’s schedule offers realistic chances for a winning season. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
