Summary
Virginia Tech’s Football Power Index ranks them 33rd, projecting a 7-8 season based on 20,000 simulations and a tough remaining schedule. A breakout year hinges on QB Ethan Grunkemeyer’s rapid growth, supported by elite receivers and a stronger rushing game. Defensive gains—especially pressure from the front seven and turnover exploitation—could turn close games into wins. A winning record (8-9) may come from nailing expected wins and pulling off key upsets, but late-season road games and coaching transition hurdles could drag them lower. Their season opener against VMI on Sept. 5 sets the tone: success depends on fast adaptation, QB development, and defensive evolution.
