With seven conference games remaining, Virginia is three games up on the nearest competition for the regular season crown, and owns the tiebreakers against those teams. The Cavaliers’ unblemished record will be tested over the next week as they’ll face both Florida teams on the road. Those games bookend a nationally televised game against Virginia Tech which will include the ESPN College GameDay crew in Charlottesville.
A year ago, the Seminoles came into Charlottesville and knocked off the Hoos 60-58. FSU’s Dwayne Bacon scored 26 of his 29 points in the second half, including a game winning three with just four seconds remaining.
