Hokies Early -7.5 pts vs. the Green Wave ??
They are not mixing up the Green Wave of Narrows High with Tulane are they? Seems high ? But, Their top receiver is opting out, and the top-rated QB Pratt may be doing the same.

Coach gone too, plus paper tigers.
Last few weeks of the season they beat Tulsa, ECU, and Rice by a COMBINED 7 points...and those are some terrible teams. ** Edited by JoesterVT at 12/5/2023, 12:44:36 PM

when was the last time VT beat an 11-win team? Cincinnati in the Orange
Bowl 2009? It's a great opportunity!

And they're just not that good
This is not the 2022 Tulane team that beat USC. Have a look through their schedule. I get that we're not all that either, but our "meh" is better than theirs. 😂

The link to the UVa game recap?

oui-oui... scroll to the bottom for SOS rankings. HTH's.

I see...how is that particular SOS calculated though?
sometimes it's done simply on W-L records, which may not be all that useful
bourbonstreet bourbonstreet
hmmmm.... this help?
Pylons Pylons
yeah, that's purely W/L
which is fairly useless unless you think a 6-6 AAC team is equivalent to a 6-6 ACC team

Beta is closer to your notion on O, tho' not on D. FYI.

That's awesome! Stick it to the man, your fans and "school"!
Since players don't want to play, let's just get rid of 2/3 of the bowls instead of watching the NFL talent opt out and these lawnmower and used underwear from she-hit-the-wall bowls

In a perfect world, the bowl games should be before the season
Have your 12 team playoff in the winter, and bowls the next August. You then have meaningful exhibition games. Everybody plays, nobody opts out, everybody has their coach. Let non bowl qualifiers host an in state FCS for an exhibition. Now week 1 rankings have some basis, and everyone has a legit scrimmage before the games "count".

If their Head Coach can leave why can't they?

When their star WR announced to the portal, the line moved 3 pts

This. They're missing their star playmaker and their head coach
Tulane had a good record this year, FWIW in that league. But we'll be facing a depleted version of them in this bowl. O&M glasses aside, VT just seems to be the more motivated and ready team in this matchup, IMO.
