CMU Hokie

Won’t know a lot until

After Pitt and Cal games unless the team is worse than expected. Schedule is manageable early so can’t buy into hype until some better opponents are beaten.

2026 ACC Football Preseason Predictions: Virginia Tech Picked Eighth**
Andy BitterAdmin • 07/28/26 04:11 PM ET
I think it's great they picked us that low. A lot of hype, stay grounded.**

CMU Hokie • 07/30/26 07:14 AM ET
I will be happy with an 8-4 record. 7-5 is probably more realistic.**
hokiedad25 • 07/29/26 01:35 PM ET
Even though I'm going 9-3, I agree 7-5 is more realistic
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 07/29/26 02:24 PM ET
Actually, I am expecting 6-5. We have a brutal travel schedule.**
Archdale • 07/30/26 10:10 AM ET
We will go 9-3. We beat SMU in Dallas, losses to UM, Clemson, somebody else
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 07/29/26 10:46 AM ET
SMU, GT, Pitt, Clemson, and UM are losses. Need another year or two. **
40ozDistrict • 07/29/26 08:08 PM ET
Why GT?**
Hokebury • 07/30/26 01:58 PM ET
Oline, Dline, the Mendoza kid is interesting. Portal RB.
40ozDistrict • 07/30/26 05:56 PM ET
If somehow they end up 9-3, it will be the result of winning several high

If D loses games late. the criticism coming Pry's way will be WITHERING**
Techsupport • 07/29/26 02:04 PM ET
As it should...**
Bburg Mac • 07/30/26 08:31 AM ET
My point is that Pry is in a very unenviable position...
Techsupport • 07/31/26 09:38 AM ET
I don't even think it will take that for him to get a lot of criticism.

And, with a

Agree
VPI4Life • 07/29/26 04:36 PM ET
I really couldn't blame Pry as the D needs better players.
MKD • 07/29/26 02:57 PM ET
Pry is responsible for getting bettet players🤷‍♂️**
VPI63 • 07/30/26 03:30 AM ET
I dunno. I'm pretty fired up. I hope we blow that prediction out of the

crazylane • 07/28/26 06:37 PM ET
No, it says we were picked fourth.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 07/29/26 08:08 AM ET
I believe that means we were picked 4th preseason, but we won the title.**
SBP94 • 07/29/26 07:33 AM ET
That must be incorrect. We played Clemson in the ACC Championship
GSOHokie01 • 07/29/26 07:07 AM ET
It is more realistic than most I've seen

They have a soft schedule, but I feel they will play to their schedule too.**

I hope they do

I think it is likely we finish below UVA...
Pride_and_Joy • 07/28/26 04:52 PM ET
but we will beat them nevertheless**
lazarus1 • 07/28/26 05:18 PM ET
THAT is an absolute must. **
Pride_and_Joy • 07/28/26 05:19 PM ET
Even with a weak schedule, UVa needs a lot of repeat luck in '26
marcbvtgm • 07/28/26 05:15 PM ET
What do you mean they were closer to
Pride_and_Joy • 07/29/26 08:32 AM ET
What I mean is their record was very deceiving. Fool's gold. Counterfeit.
marcbvtgm • 07/30/26 09:12 AM ET
I agree they aren't going to be 11-3 this year.
Pride_and_Joy • 07/30/26 10:31 AM ET
You are 100% correct…
VT-ACC • 07/28/26 08:28 PM ET
I see them as 8-4 or 9-3 with their schedule
lazarus1 • 07/28/26 05:21 PM ET
I don't think they will repeat their success of last year. I do think
