Since last week’s rankings were released the Hokies had a disappointing night defensively against Pittsburgh, before bouncing back in a thrilling overtime victory over Miami. Those mixed results saw Virginia Tech move down slightly in the week 12 AP and Coaches polls. The Hokies are 18th in the latest AP poll and 17th in the Coaches poll. VT is one of three ACC schools ranked, along with UVA (9/9) and Florida State (17/19).
The Hokies were supposed to take on the 10-3 Florida State program Tuesday night before the game was called off following another positive COVID result at FSU.
