No. 22 Boston College takes on slumping Virginia Tech

Call it a role reversal.

Boston College hits the road for Blacksburg, Va., this weekend and, in a switch of positions, the Eagles, not the Hokies, are ranked.

The Eagles are No. 22 in the first CFP rankings of the season after last Friday's 27-14 victory over Miami.

Virginia Tech (4-3, 3-1 ACC) has lost two of its last three games. This is also a Hokie team that lost a game to FCS Old Dominion --at home -- in September and gave up 465 rushing yards against Georgia Tech's option attack last week.

"We've got to be able to really establish a good run game," said Boston College coach Steve Addazio.
