The Confidential’s 2016 Football Over-Under: Virginia Tech
Happy Independence Day! Last year, the Confidential unveiled over-unders for each ACC school. For Virginia Tech, the over-under was set at 6.5 regular season wins. Ultimately, Frank Beamer’s last season resulted in 6 wins (under) and a bowl win, allowing him to go out on a great streak of 23 straight bowl appearances. But now it is on to 2016 and a new coach. The Confidential sets the over-under for Va Tech at 7.5 regular season wins.
Here is the schedule for 2016, courtesy of a great college football website:
| 9/3 | Sat | vs. | Liberty | |||
| 9/10 | Sat | @ | Tennessee | |||
| 9/17 | Sat | vs. | *Boston College | |||
| 9/24 | Sat | vs. | East Carolina | |||
| 10/8 | Sat | @ | *North Carolina | |||
| 10/15 | Sat | @ | *Syracuse | |||
| 10/20 | Thu | vs. | *Miami (Florida) | |||
| 10/27 | Thu | @ | *Pittsburgh | |||
| 11/5 | Sat | @ | *Duke | |||
| 11/12 | Sat | vs. | *Georgia Tech | |||
| 11/19 | Sat | @ | Notre Dame | |||
| 11/26 | Sat | vs. | *Virginia |
Very likely wins: Liberty, Boston College, Syracuse, Virginia
Very likely losses: Notre Dame
Verdict: Like Miami, it is hard to know whether a new coach will take a step back or step forward. Or neither. Virginia Tech lost a legend, make no mistake. In the end, every game is winnable, while upsets of the Hokies are certainly possible as well. Tennessee will be a huge test, as the Volunteers should be a very good squad. At the same time, East Carolina always plays the Hokies tough. There are few guarantees. The Confidential sets the over-under at 7.5 wins.
What do you think? Will BC go over or under 7.5 regular season wins?
