For anyone dreaming of playoffs, here is a reality check

Granted, this is one twitter view of possibilities. But it very clearly shows what we are up against. VT could have 10 wins and still not get an at large spot. We could be passed over by teams with only 8 or 9 wins. All because the P2 strength of schedules will be considered harder and they have pre-negotiated more spots. Even 11 wins for VT would not be a lock for an at large bid.

I just looked up Florida's schedule; ouch!!**
VTfisherman • 07/05/24 10:16 PM ET
Hoos only need 10 and ND and VT need 11?
SarahVTHokie24 • 07/05/24 12:22 PM ET
There is no way hoos get in with 10 unless SEC and B10 really crap the bed
83Hokie • 07/05/24 03:19 PM ET
I think they meant 10 wins over 3 seasons. Still a challenge. **
Blueboy • 07/06/24 12:19 AM ET
Based on schedule strength projections **
hokiepro • 07/05/24 02:15 PM ET
Make sense when you look at Gators schedule, some surprise me though
AirForceHokie77 • 07/05/24 11:25 AM ET
I expect all at-large bids to go to the P2 + ND.
Maroon Baboon • 07/05/24 09:54 AM ET
Theoretically the top 12 teams in the ranking enter the CFP
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/06/24 11:14 AM ET
In the future
crazylane • 07/05/24 02:53 PM ET
Will be interesting
Seikoh_04 • 07/05/24 11:28 AM ET
I'm sure they'll have a token "at large" bid every few years...lol**
EDGEMAN • 07/05/24 11:00 AM ET
totally agree. our schedule is no good. so just win them
proudhokie2001 • 07/04/24 07:44 PM ET
The one Loss in ACCCG or reg season?**
83Hokie • 07/05/24 03:24 PM ET
Let’s just first win at Vandy…….**
Spider73 • 07/04/24 03:36 PM ET
so just win ACCCG.**
BobG • 07/04/24 02:59 PM ET
Too complicated to apply an absolute number of wins. Losing the ACC title
UEMcGill • 07/04/24 02:43 PM ET
No way a 9 win Vandy, GT, or USCe get in over a 11 win VT. **
BamBam • 07/04/24 01:41 PM ET
If we have 11 wins, it’s most likely that Vandy & GT won’t have 9. They
Hokie`79 • 07/05/24 05:42 AM ET
It would be a miracle for Vandy to have 9 wins...lol**
EDGEMAN • 07/05/24 11:01 AM ET
Only if a fluke champ**
83Hokie • 07/04/24 04:24 PM ET
just hope we win enough to be in the conversation
tallahasseehokie • 07/04/24 01:03 PM ET
No different than 1999.
GCHokieof91 • 07/04/24 11:02 AM ET
That was just 2 teams though**
hokiepro • 07/04/24 06:20 PM ET
Here's the thing, every year there's only 6 to 11 teams with 11+ wins
Synaesthesia • 07/04/24 09:50 AM ET
We need to get back to ACC championship games to get to playoff
hokiepro • 07/04/24 08:54 AM ET
I'm glad to see ND at 11.**
Joe Hokie • 07/04/24 08:44 AM ET
Sounds about right...we aren't there.... YET**
HOKIERIT • 07/04/24 08:33 AM ET
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
Hokie1992 • 07/04/24 08:28 AM ET
The Germans didn’t bomb Pearl Harbor. That was the Japanese.**
HokieSpartan • 07/04/24 01:27 PM ET

Hardcore_Hokie • 07/06/24 10:16 AM ET
Whoosh!!! Oh how soon popular culture expires.**
Culpeper Hokie • 07/04/24 07:01 PM ET
Soon? That movie was released closer to Pearl Harbor than to today....**

BamBam • 07/04/24 01:38 PM ET

VaTechHokiesACC • 07/03/24 11:47 PM ET
Wow. UVA needs "only" 10 wins to make playoff. **
VTBoar • 07/04/24 07:15 AM ET
Unrealistic **
83Hokie • 07/04/24 10:26 AM ET
UVa has only won 10 games once (1989)**
Hokie1992 • 07/04/24 08:31 AM ET

Is there an agreed upon formula?
tallahasseehokie • 07/04/24 12:00 AM ET
This is it
Hokie1992 • 07/04/24 08:48 AM ET
And a huge factor is that the “top 25 ranking)

Ford should get a real job........
2hhoop3 • 07/03/24 10:45 PM ET
I do agree that a 10 or 11 win ND gets in
HokieAl • 07/04/24 09:03 AM ET
You are right......
2hhoop3 • 07/04/24 09:21 AM ET
Absolutely agree. Analytics are good for predicting scores or wins
HokieAl • 07/04/24 09:43 AM ET
Not to mention that not all wins are equal...
