Current times must be shocking for us "older" fans
For those of us old enough to be Hokie fans in the 20th century. I was a VT student from 97-01. Could you imagine in 1999 that UVA and Va Tech would NOT be the top 2 college football teams in Virginia? We are in this twilight zone in 2023 where James Madison and Liberty have surpassed both teams in quality and records. I don't think Va Tech (or UVA for that matter) would win against either JMU or LU if they played this season theoretically. Maybe the Commonwealth Cup needs to be given to the Dukes at this point.

Why the Dukes? Liberty is undefeated. And you can't compare records.
