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.
