Virginia Tech beat UVA 36-29 in 1995 in one of the most famous (and beloved) football games in Virginia Tech history. The Hokies finished the season 9-2 and in a tie for first place in the Big East.  The only question at that point was whether or not Tech would face someone like Notre Dame, Florida State or Texas in an Alliance Bowl, or whether they would drop to the Gator Bowl where they would play Clemson.
