On Monday, the Preseason AP Top 25 poll was released for college football and there were some surprises and some not-to-surprising rankings and teams either inside the top 25 or on the outside.
One quick look at the poll and you only see two opponents on Virginia Tech's schedule for now, in 2025. Miami at No. 10 and South Carolina at No. 13 are the only two teams on the Hokies' schedule ranked. The story is different when you scroll down to "Others Receiving Votes," and there are three more opponents on Tech's schedule this fall, also receiving votes: Louisville, Georgia Tech, and Florida State.
