VA - VT Games are going to be wars from now on. They are going to fight over recruits big time with VT going too the ACC

VT has proven to be a rock solid top 20 team. That is where they belong. Beamer is a great coach who finds ways to win games he should not win with exceptional special teams and good defense. I've got nothing against VT but to mention their program with FSU or Miami is one big effing joke.

VTech doesn't care about Hoops...

They LIVE and BREATH for their football because in the winter time, there is absolutely nothing else to do in Blacksburgh Va!

By the way, what is their Pre Season ranking?

After reviewing their schedule I see they are up to their old tricks - I predict they should be top three - they really went balls to the wall this year - this is awful.

Central Florida
JAMES MADISON ???????
UCONN ???????
RUTGERS ???????
Cuse
WVU
Pitt
TEMPLE ??????
BC

I guess Texas A&M and Virginia will be the big games to decide if they fall in the top 5 - they should lose to Miami but Miami has lost everyone and the game is at home - REGARDLESS, this is the type of sht I am refering to with this fraud of a program - dropping Arky State for James Madison - hahahaha

Tech has only played 3 teams from the Big Twelve, in the last 10 years Nebraska- lost to them in the Orange Bowl, Texas- Tech blew them out in the Sugar Bowl, T&M- tech beat them at A&m last year. Tech only played 3 teams from the SEC- LSu- Beat LSU, ALabama- Crushed Bama in a Bowl a couple years ago, Tenn- back in 1994 lost to tEnn. in the peach bowl.

No wonder Teams from the Big 12 and SEC will not schedule them Home&home. 4-2 against the mighty Big 12 and SEC. Take a look at Big East bowl records and you will find a similar result against other conferences.

What a joke to say V Tech ducks teams ....that is ridiculous...NOBODY wants to play them down in Blacksburgh!

Miami has been known to have weak schedules as well, wasn`t it Miamis schedule that almost cost them a spot in the championship game a couple years ago...

Whoever said they are on the decline,lmao...They have TWO great running backs....

Oh by the way the CRUSHED LSU, a team that had a great yr last yr, dominated A&M in a defense game..You can look at alot of schedules and criticize...I guess playing Syracuse at Syracuse is an easy game..

You can`t penalize them for playing their conference schedule! And nobody wants to play at V Tech. You think Nebraska would go to Blacksburgh , NO WAY..they(Huskers) don`t play a tough out of conference schedule either...

Its all about teams not wanting to go on the road and play ot of conference....Not one Pac 10 team wins down in Blacksburgh, not one...

Exactly Chris...K State is a good comparison too...Alot of the road trips would be death for unfamiliar teams...

Even say Miami going up to Oregon, can you imagine that, it would never happen...

Miami would never go to Oregon? I thought they opened with Washington three years ago.

No one is willing to play VT? Interesting that Miami plays FSU, Tenn, Penn State (when they were #1), UF and UCLA (when they were 1).

Cuse plays Tenn, Michigan, GT (when they were preseason #1 by some polls), Wisconsin, Florida, FSU, Oklahoma, Texas and Ohio State but no one is willing to play VT.

OSU and UF played a road game without even getting a home game.

I guess only Central Michigan, UCONN, James Madison and Arky State would accept the massive challenge.

All I see is more excuses than a minority in jail.

Chris, Miami fears no one. They can play Bethune Cookman all they want because they played FSU and Tenn and now have UF back every year.

This is the same reason when I turn the TV on Sunday the league is loaded with Miami and Cuse players (BE schools) and no one other than Vick in the NFL.

Seymour your twisting my words ...I never compared VT to Miami or FSU...I don`t even particularly care for VT...But adding them to the ACC helps all involved...Va Tech will get more recruiting exposureas well...Can you imagine what Beamer could do with Miamis recruits year in and out....When VICK was there VT was very close to the top...Miami had their down years, how soon people forget they weren`t anything for several years..Now it looks like FSU may be on the decline some...Nothing wrong with a perrenial top 15, geesh!

I did not miscontrue your words. You said Miami would never play at Oregon which when you said it I am sure you had no clue that they just played at Washington and UCLA.

And this crap about teams ducking VT is bogus because look at the teams the two other top BE teams, Cuse and Miami, have played.

VT is a top 20-25 team at best masquarading as a better team through scheduling. Go look at their schedule over the last 5-10 years and you will understand. Just look at this years schedule - it is a complete joke - and it not like these teams are just having off years.

...This is not a debate I want to be in , my ONLY POINT WAS THE ACC SCHEDULE was THAT MUCH TOUGHER...BEING A TOP 15 TEAM year in and year out is usually a great thing to most people...Seymour was Miami a top 15 team in the late 90`s?
