Huh? For starters, check out yesterday's USA Today article...

...and what do.you want him to do? "D'Amour has at least one vocal supporter in his corner: ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. He believes the Hokies should be a top 16 seed, along with Florida State, Stanford and Duke." “To me, there's been four ACC teams that have distinguished themselves to host,” Phillips told USA TODAY Sports. “Virginia Tech is a team that's been tremendous all year. It played in the championship game, lost a one-run game. Strength of schedule, RPI and all of those indexes indicate that they are certainly worthy of a top 16 spot.” ** Edited by I love VT! at 5/11/2026, 12:51:10 AM
