Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 [ QUOTE ] my Orange Bowl pick... VT vs. WVU [/ QUOTE ] You have the Big East team right... I don't see Virginia Tech in that game, for I don't see them beating Boston College in a possible rematch (remember, they have to get there, first). If they win out, and lost to Boston College in the ACC title game, a 9-3 mark will not assure two BCS bids from the ACC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan4VT 4,554 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 If VT gets to the ACC champ game how would tehy not be in the Orange Bowl? If VT wins they are in with the auto bid. If BC wins they are in the NC and that leaves an open spot in the Orange Bowl, which would go to the #2 team, VT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BC made it to the NC game, the OB spot would be filled by an "at-large" BCS team. #2 in the ACC would likely go to the Peach Bowl this year...

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] well wvu wins out then vt would have to win the acc or bc go to the nc for these to teams to hook up again which id love to c . . . but imo wvu with a healthy Pat White and Steve Slaton takes VT . . . yes Tech has only lost but we got the chance to see how good LSU was when they took a UK team that got stomped by a MSU team a week b4 by WVU who was up 31 to 0 at the end of the 1st and sorry but BC is not the 2nd best team in the nation . . . [/ QUOTE ] I'd love to see an LSU-WVU matchup... [/ QUOTE ] If that game ever happened, one could use it as a strong case for a mercy rule in college football. [/ QUOTE ] Should have used it for the LSU/VT game. [/ QUOTE ] HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Maybe they could use it for some of WVU's high school opponets they are playing this year. I've never seen a team win their game and fall backward as many times as WVU has this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Oh Please.....................Chokie people can't bag on WVU's schedule....they play in the ACC, almost competitive conference.....LOL. Get off it....WVU would beat down tech easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Let's not go down this road again. West Virginia-Virginia Tech would be highly contested. I'm sure I'll repeat this multiple times. In terms of the Big East, the only team undefeated in conference play is Connecticut, whom Virginia beat. West Virginia fans ought to worry about going through them rather than pondering a fictitious matchup with Virginia Tech. Frankly, it's a dogfight for 5th and 6th between the Big East and the ACC in terms of the 6 power conferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fieldgeneral 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 awful point............the Big East was really strong this year....unfortunately.....the SEC bug has bitten us. We keep beating on each other. Yes UVA beat UCONN at home. Uconn has had an unbelievable schedule for home. The one they don't have at home is WVU. Things will change at least by that date. The ACC has had noone making alot of noise but BC and we see how that went this weekend. UVA is playing much better than recent past and give them credit. If they didn't Groh was looking for a job. I can't say that the ACC is even with the BIG EAST in football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Sure, because the Big East only has 2 schools that are ranked in the the Top 25 with West Virginia at #7 and UConn at #13 in the BCS. The ACC has twice as many with BC, VT, Virginia, and Clemson. Now, 4 teams is nothing to boast about BUT this year a mediocre Miami and Florida State would still be in the competition for a Big East Title. UConn and South Florida are among the top in the Big East and 10 years ago UConn was Division I-AA and USF wasn't even a program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said that more than one team in the ACC would definitely be in contention for the Big East championship if they were in that conference. But if you would like to talk about being "overrated", how about those USF Bulls who were #2 in the nation just a couple weeks ago, and now they aren't even in the Top 25? Or UConn being a Top 15 team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvuraiders 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Remember the big east was 5-0 in bowl games last year including wins over the ACC;s top two teams....Wvu has the #4 defense this year with a great offense and too much speed for tech...u saw what fsu did to bc because bc is sooo slow...don't get too excited about uva not that good,yes they beat uconn but wvu will murder uconn...I will throw these stats out there as well..wvu leads tech series 28-23-1, tech has never won back to back bowls ( 2 straight for some of you), wvu has a better winning percentage in bowl games (both are not good), sorry wvu would run past tech this year could almost be as ugly as lsu....remember tech has a little league offense and a big league (except for lsu) defense.

Also, your second point is very valid. Again, West Virginia fans who think UConn will be a pushover are in for QUITE the surprise... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHS85 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Talk, talk, & more talk. Here is the only stat that matters: Oct. 1, 2005 VT 34 WVU 17 in Morgantown. OUCH.... Until they play again, VT has bragging rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvuraiders 10 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 alright i will stop, I wish the rivalry was continued though provided great trash talking yearly for these teams. It was a shame the series had to end. I am hoping tech makes it to orange bowl...and wvu wins out...However if Ohio state wins out..rose gets first pick and says they are going to take wvu if available....personally I would like to go to orange and take on the hokies.
