The Virginia Tech Hokies struggled to a 24-21 victory over Duke last Saturday afternoon in Durham for their third straight win.
After successfully climbing in the AP Poll that was released on Sunday, the team was looking to hopefully make an upward move in the only poll that matters this time of year, ESPN’s College Football Playoff Poll.
Despite looking inconsistent in their narrow win over the Blue Devils, the CFP Committee gave merit to the Hokies’ road win, and moved Justin Fuente’s 7-2 squad up five spots in the rankings, from number 19 to number 14.
