ChBass 10 The win against Maryland is compensating for the subpar pass defense to keep the hokies in the top 10.

Doogitywoogity 12 Around here is probably where my rankings get a little wonky, but I value the Hokies’ win over Maryland and ODU more than USC’s bad win over Rutgers and some suspect G6 California schools. The defense that I had been impressed by for USC early on has seemingly collapsed. Power conference win, even against Maryland is a big resume boost at this point. They should have an easy time vs BC coming up and then their first real test vs Pitt.

A win over September Maryland helps Virginia Tech not only hold its position but move up even as a bunch of teams move onto the ballot.

Pyromania1983 22 James Franklin's new squad has gotten out to a hot start this year. With the Virginia Cavaliers losing, the Hokies are one of the top dogs in the ACC (alongside Miami and Duke). Franklin HATES Maryland, and it showed again this year. Penn State transfer Ethan Grunkemeyer was a fantastic field general, throwing over 300 yards and 3 touchdowns, with no interceptions. In the team's first somewhat tough matchup of the year, they looked poised for the battle.

ValarMorghulis_17 20 Franklin has this team playing well, but with every ACC team; who do they play? They won't get any respect until they play a legit team.. MAYBE SMU in November.

GrimmacingGrinny 24 The James Franklin era has moved to 3-0, with a win over a decent Maryland team in College Park. Grunkemeyer continues to look good for VT, throwing for over 300 yards and 3 TDs.
Isthmus11 24 3-0 against garbage teams, this team is loaded with talent compared to last year and is also probably an ACC contender
JKess207 24 I have no idea what to make of this VT team. But 3-0 is 3-0.

d1sportsball 25 Virginia Tech is almost a carbon copy of Kansas State: Weaker opponents, but good enough to actually take value from their games. VTech under James Franklin looks very good and is trending in the right direction, and we'll see how big they beat Boston College.
jtchr33 25 Interesting team so far, keeping an eye on them.
