Virginia Tech appeared to be a legitimate contender for a while last season before running into a brick wall against eventual division champs Clemson and Miami. Ultimately, VT finished with a 9-4 record, capping their season with a bowl loss to Oklahoma State. On paper, the Hokies have some major retooling to do—particularly on defense—and it might be difficult for them to contend for the division title this fall. That said, this is the Coastal, and VT contending for the divisional crown is a time-honored ACC tradition. As the Hokies enter their third season with Justin Fuente at the helm, it would hardly be a surprise if they’re in the mix come November.
