Just about everyone has us ranked.
Coattail Hokie • 02/23/26 08:30 AM ET
New Roster **
HokiesACC2004 • 02/24/26 05:56 AM ET
This isn't last year's Hokies.**
MikeVT85 • 02/24/26 02:58 AM ET
LOL... now let's n0t go making sense... how can Eye do my job like that❔**
bourbonstreet • 02/23/26 11:47 PM ET
Rat poison
Planner_Hokie • 02/23/26 10:18 PM ET
I am kind of pissed they don't have us undefeated before spring practice
turkeywinghokie • 02/23/26 08:39 PM ET
You’re still in pre-portal mode
ombandit • 02/23/26 07:22 PM ET
Don't disagree, but OTOH VT probably has the biggest improvement at QB
Fatman • 02/23/26 07:15 PM ET
The Portal and James Franklin**
VTJayLaw • 02/23/26 02:14 PM ET
If they are right - look like geniuses
Turk Malloy • 02/23/26 01:10 PM ET
Preseason polls are birthed by sports journo talking heads who need content
Maroon Baboon • 02/23/26 12:53 PM ET
Just national media doing what national media does: hype minus facts
Hokiefied • 02/23/26 12:41 PM ET
Don’t look just at our team. Look at changes for our competitors
HokieAl • 02/23/26 12:38 PM ET
Arizona State went from 3-9 in 2023 to 11-3 and playoffs in 2024.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 12:06 PM ET
And could win 4 this year, downside of today's CFB
WestyHokie • 02/23/26 05:53 PM ET
"Wait'll next year!" (ancient Detroit Tiger fan cheer)**
PhotoHokieNC • 02/23/26 04:13 PM ET
If the roster is still here then . . . **
UEMcGill • 02/23/26 02:59 PM ET
I think 9 wins is the ceiling, and 5 wins is the floor
MKD • 02/23/26 01:12 PM ET
lets not set a ceiling. the floor has to be 8.
proudhokie2001 • 02/23/26 01:56 PM ET
A lot depends on keeping Grunkemeyer upright and healthy.**
MKD • 02/24/26 10:24 AM ET
i think we will block better having better tight end play. plus 12 more
proudhokie2001 • 02/24/26 02:31 PM ET
I agree they should be much better especially pass blocking**
MKD • 02/24/26 04:08 PM ET
And then what happens if Franklin fails to achieve 8 wins in year 1?
MP4VT2004 • 02/23/26 03:41 PM ET
Off with his head!** ◄
PhotoHokieNC • 02/23/26 04:13 PM ET
no, his hype train is better than the previous coach so 8 is what it
proudhokie2001 • 02/23/26 03:52 PM ET
I’d be thrilled if we won 8
extremehokie • 02/23/26 12:00 PM ET
This is exactly where I am too....**
4DABRD • 02/23/26 01:24 PM ET
Concur. That would be a very successful season.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/23/26 12:19 PM ET
Rosters flip over way faster now - last year means less and less**
NOFX • 02/23/26 11:59 AM ET
I'm sorry, it appears there was a mistake in your ticketing.
jonnyhawk • 02/23/26 11:57 AM ET
Old rule: Never believe the hype.**
section11hokie • 02/23/26 11:50 AM ET
Sage advice.**
MP4VT2004 • 02/23/26 01:09 PM ET
We won't know what we got until after the 2026 season.
likehokies • 02/23/26 11:19 AM ET
Techsideline posters have been burned for over 10 years and are going to
VT ChemE 1986 • 02/23/26 10:48 AM ET
Or more correctly, an element of TSLposters have burned themselves
VTCALS72 • 02/23/26 12:31 PM ET
Media loves narratives. What do they have to lose if VT only wins 6 gms?
marcbvtgm • 02/23/26 10:07 AM ET
No way do we win only six games....
TekkNerd • 02/24/26 06:38 AM ET
Straight from the “completely missing the point” file. 6 was just a number
marcbvtgm • 02/25/26 10:46 AM ET
If I could nominate you for most miserable poster I would.
TekkNerd • 02/25/26 10:50 AM ET
Your initial response was an unnecessary topper. And you're PO'd?
marcbvtgm • 02/25/26 01:11 PM ET
Pop Tarts bowl or bust season **
knapnhokie • 02/23/26 09:20 PM ET
Reminds me of the 2024 season.... **
AirborneHokie96 • 02/23/26 09:10 AM ET
The worst use of talent and experience in the history of VT football.**
seekoHoG • 02/23/26 06:31 PM ET
That season still pisses me off **
The_Stratman • 02/23/26 11:11 AM ET
Look, talent matters some..we have obviously more of it for 2026
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 02/23/26 09:01 AM ET
Maybe you need to raise your expectations. This team will definitely be.
SCHokie1103 • 02/23/26 08:48 AM ET
Every time I raise my expectations I get smacked down. So no, I'm keeping

If you don’t try for Jennifer Aniston, you will never get her
HokieAl • 02/23/26 12:44 PM ET
Its the Franklin effect, not to mention his recruits/transfers
V333T • 02/23/26 08:35 AM ET
Very much this^. There's no way to draw a bead on it honestly...
