Better yet…
What would the Hoo’s record have been had they played the entirety of Tech’s schedule? Tech’s opponents had a combined .639 winning percentage making our schedule the toughest in the conference along with playing 2 10-win, 3 9-win, 2 8-win, 2 7-win teams of which 4 were ranked top 25 at the end of regular season.
UVa’s opponents had a .493 winning percentage and one of the easiest schedules of the ACC schools with only 3 8-win teams and 2 7-win teams with no one with 9 or more wins and no teams finishing in the top 25 regular season and they lost to one 8-win team (Wake) and loss to one other 7-win team (NCSU). I think if UVa had Tech’s schedule, they would have gone 7-5 with losses to Vandy, Miami, NC State (who they lost to anyway), Wake (who they lost to anyway) and probably GT. But watching them this year and their luck, they may have stolen one or 2 of those to go as good as 9-3. Still impressive for a football program who have had only 5 winning seasons in the last 20-years and within what turned out to be a pretty good ACC.
Don’t fret though…. Tech is about to take back our rightful place after many crappy years. BTW our crappy years since 2016 had almost as many winning seasons as UVa’s last 20 for comparison. We had 14 winning seasons over the last 20 years. But I’ll tip my hat to them this year.
