I think VT can absolutely be a playoff team consistently

at least that’s what they should strive for. we just need to get back to the 10 win seasons. Not losing to the Vandys, the Marshalls, the ODUs, the Rutgers, or the Libertys would be the first step to achieving this.

I think we will see some teams with similar resources to VT
MaroonMark • 09/06/24 01:29 AM ET
Been saying this for years. Short of a miracle benefactor, VT is stuck.**
marcbvtgm • 09/04/24 05:36 PM ET
Money alone won't do it. Ask the bottom of the SEC and B1G...
Techsupport • 09/05/24 10:26 AM ET
But you have zero chance without $$ - Deion or not. Ergo, VT has no chance.
marcbvtgm • 09/05/24 10:48 AM ET
At what precisely?
Techsupport • 09/05/24 03:46 PM ET
A great team. A big dog. See the OP (which is what I responded to).
marcbvtgm • 09/06/24 11:33 AM ET
To me a top 15 team is a 9-10 win program.
Techsupport • 09/06/24 03:10 PM ET
Can remember how one player named Michael Vick put VT at the top.**
Bburg Mac • 09/05/24 08:34 AM ET
Vick would cost $2 million now**
VTGungHO • 09/05/24 11:13 AM ET
Probably cost......
2hhoop3 • 09/05/24 11:43 AM ET
We absolutely can be top 12; have been as recently as 2010-11
hokiepro • 09/04/24 01:46 PM ET
That's not recent in today's era. Things are moving blazingly fast.**
NokieHokie • 09/05/24 11:54 AM ET
Were you around the last 30 years? Infrequent top 10 visits are realistic
Techsupport • 09/04/24 01:43 PM ET
I would be surprised if any of our fans think a run in the playoffs

"Playoffs? PLAYOFFS??"
Zanderhokie • 09/04/24 02:41 PM ET
If we are capped then that means more money won’t get us any results
HokieAl • 09/04/24 11:32 AM ET
Maybe one day we’ll be able to chant “We’re #13!”**
Hardcore_Hokie • 09/04/24 12:52 PM ET
Bingo on both.
Gobbler Guru • 09/04/24 12:28 PM ET
Even though you are correct about the SEC not transforming those schools
VTHokie2000 • 09/04/24 06:21 PM ET
Truth! **
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/04/24 01:42 PM ET
Would like to see the non P2s create a division with balance and reality**
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 01:34 PM ET
I'm starting to agree with this take on VT sports**
GoFightingGobblers • 09/04/24 12:39 PM ET
Think if some P2 school took 1/2 their FB money and NIL and spread it over
cricket77 • 09/04/24 11:46 AM ET
All that matters is football, period
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 12:15 PM ET
I would be shocked if everyone does not understand this
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/04/24 01:44 PM ET
I don't think most people care
Happy Dog • 09/05/24 05:18 AM ET
There's a reason "sports fans" is a shorten version of the phrase "sports
VTHokie2000 • 09/04/24 06:08 PM ET
I’m with you on that.**
cricket77 • 09/04/24 11:42 AM ET
Need to look to non-rev sports if you want a national title
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 11:40 AM ET
IMO Clemson seemed to drop off after everyone started paying players w/ NIL
kingofcassell • 09/04/24 11:30 AM ET
Until proven otherwise, I offer O/U as 4.5 for playoff selection
TomTurkey • 09/04/24 11:34 AM ET
So settle for soup when you could have steak and lobster.
GSOHokie01 • 09/04/24 11:28 AM ET
Lane has been raised. I vote no for razing. **
TomTurkey • 09/04/24 11:36 AM ET
Corrected. I would rather not raze Lane Stadium…
GSOHokie01 • 09/04/24 12:00 PM ET
I'll give Pry 2 more seasons, but no money. SB and WBB for me. And St. Jude**
TomTurkey • 09/04/24 12:13 PM ET
Maybe it being higher would help
Pylons • 09/04/24 11:57 AM ET
I think VT has the resources and talent to be a top 25 to 30 team most
Hokie_Forester • 09/04/24 10:55 AM ET
20 yrs ago VT had a competitive athletic dept. If we're not going to try
