We are one day away from the Virginia Tech football team officially kicking off the 2025 season against South Carolina in Atlanta. The two teams will battle in a standalone game on Sunday at 3 p.m. on ESPN, and on Friday, the SEC announced which conference the officiating crew will be from.
In a non-conference game, the officials are either from one of the two teams' conferences or from another. In the case of the Hokies and Gamecocks, the officiating crew will be from the Big 12. That is not the case in the other ACC/SEC matchups, as an SEC officiating crew will be at Clemson when the Tigers host LSU, and an ACC crew will be in Tallahassee when Florida State hosts Alabama.
