Assuming a loss to Notre Dame, I would expect them(VA Tech) to fall out again. If they had their next four games before that Notre Dame game(UNC, GA Tech, BC, Pitt) they would be mid teen's in my mind in would then have to face ND and Miami back to back. Assuming they make up the ECU game, they will be either 9-3 or 10-2 going into bowl season.
We lost to a better team Saturday, one that will finish in the Top 20 when all is said and done IMHO.
