With the players returning... next year...

2024 could be a really big for VT. Looking at the 2024 schedule, coupled with how VT did to end 2023... I think expectations should be.... -> 5 wins or less: Bad things happened with injuries and/or Pry isn't the guy -> 6 wins: Less than ideal, but if the young guys look good, hope for 2025 -> 7 wins: Solid year 3, but leaving some to be desired -> 8-9 wins: Where this team should be, with winnable games... (4) All OOC (@Vandy, Marshall, @ODU, Rutgers) (3) Conference Easier ones - BC, @Duke, @Stanford (2) Conference Toss-Ups - UVA, @Syracuse, and Georgia Tech (2) Conference Toughest - Clemson, @Miami -> 10 + wins: Exceeding expectations It's too early to tell, but 2025 and 2026 also don't look too insanely different for VT. If Pry keeps building things up, I think VT could see a minimum of 21-24 wins over the next 3 seasons. It isn't the glory days, but a competitive and respected VT gets us back into the conversations. Given the 12-team playoff format coming, I don't think being hopeful for a playoff birth by 2026 is unreasonable. Unlikely, sure.

Zanderhokie 12/15/23 10:47 AM ET
seeing that we are indeed D-1aa #2? Yah; guess that could play-off in '26.**

Anything less than 9 would be a disappointment IMO, schedule is cake**
soflahokie 12/14/23 10:21 PM ET
This is probably accurate.**
97Hokie 12/15/23 11:23 AM ET
9 as the expectation is probably too many considering we have done that

It's wise not to get too far ahead of yourself.

Way to soon to project where the team is in 2026
Hokie1992 12/15/23 06:38 AM ET
Yes. We take them and toss them up as far and high as we like! 😉**
No_Limit_Hokie 12/14/23 09:22 PM ET
Got to be able to stop people first. See how the portal plays out**
sideline guy 12/14/23 09:10 PM ET

If we can get quality players at DT and LB via the portal 8-9 wins for sure**
