## Resource

Virginia Tech’s 2026 season is shaping up as a wild ride with a new coaching staff, revamped roster, and a brutal ACC schedule. Oddsmakers see them hitting just 6.5 wins—bowl eligibility as the floor—but the Hokies have the potential to exceed it. Their toughest tests come on the road against Miami, Boston College, Berkeley, and Clemson, while early games against weaker teams could help them clear the 27.5 PPG offensive line. Defense, meanwhile, is projected for 21.5 PPG, but blowout losses to top teams could push that line lower—making it a sell. Quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer’s 2,350-yard passing projection? Probably too high; with tougher games ahead and a likely run-heavy approach, he’s likely to fall short. But on defense, forcing turnovers? That’s a different story—after just six last year, they’re poised to hit 15.5+ with easier early matchups. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
