Hoping it's for a 7-5 or 8-4 team from a power conference
Since the October turnaround, VT's 3 losses came to the 3 teams who were far and away the best teams in the conference, teams who were a combined 31-3. But, their 5 conference wins came against teams who finished in the bottom 5 of the conference (although some of that is because VT won in the first place, like VT was 5-3, BC was 3-5, so the difference in records is literally just the result of the head-to-head).
Even though it might result in a 6-7 finish, I'd like to see what VT can do against a team that looks like it should be an even matchup. VT pretty much demolished all the ACC teams worse than them, but got crunched against better teams, there were pretty much no 50/50 results.

I think our traveling fanbase gives us an advantage over a lot of ACC teams

I don't want to play Oregon State or Utah. They'd both blow us out.

I prefer Military because most of us can drive to Annapolis in a few hours.
