The 2024 college football season is getting closer and Virginia Tech is hoping they can match the hype surrounding this team. The Hokies are seen by many as a d
ark horse for the ACC title game with the amont of returning production they have and the favorable schedule. Will that mean a big season?
ESPN uses its FPI as an advanced analytical model to help look at matchups and predict outcomes. In ESPN's own words: "FPI is a predictive rating system designed to measure team strength and project performance going forward. The ultimate goal of FPI is not to rank teams 1 through 128; rather, it is to correctly predict games and season outcomes. If Vegas ever published the power rankings it uses to set its lines, they would likely look quite a lot like FPI.
I think the odds should be higher for this game, as Virginia Tech is much more talented across the board than Vanderbilt and the Commodores do not have a homefield advantage. I like Virginia Tech to win this game and by a lot.Marshall is not a bad Sun Belt program, but I don't think they are going to be able to hang with this Virginia Tech team, especially in Blacksburg.Old Dominion has given Virginia Tech plenty of trouble in the past, but this year is not going to be one of those years.
Obviously this would be a disappointing season if Virginia Tech ended up going 7-5 with losses to Stanford and Duke, but I do not think that is going to happen. This is an experienced team that is going to have a powerful running attack and a very good defense. I think ESPN's FPI gets a lot wrong about this season for Virginia Tech.
