Virginia Tech Hokies Odds & Analysis for Season

College football fans across the country are ready for the action to begin, with Week 1 of the regular season now less than a month away.

These fans are all hyped about the possibility of their team making it to the playoffs now that we are going to have 12 teams going into the postseason.

My Analysis

The new format is sure to open the door for teams that ordinarily would never have a shot at getting into the playoffs, but which teams will rise to the occasion?

Every fan has an idea, but the fact of the matter is that we won’t really get a true idea of who will make it in until the games begin.

We can still make a guess, though, so let’s start by taking a look at the Virginia Tech Hokies.

Virginia Tech Hokies Regular Season, Conference, and Win Total

Ordinarily, a 7-6 season would not be something to crow about, but for the Hokies, 2023 proved to be something of a breakout season.

It was their first winning season since 2019, plus they also won a bowl game for the first time since 2016.

Again, it’s not a spectacular season by any stretch of the imagination, but the trip back to relevancy very often comes in small steps.

The Hokies are considered to have one of the easier schedules in the ACC, with their win total for 2024 set at 8 ½.

One of the main reasons why the Hokies returned to a winning season last year was down to the play of QB Kyron Drones, who passed for 22 TD in the 11 games he played, while also adding something to the run game with his scrambling ability.

He will have some nice weapons to throw to, particularly with the return of Ali Jennings from a knee injury.

There are definitely some positives to see on the offensive side of the football, but there are still some concerns about the O-Line. They did improve last season, but they will need to be better still if the playoffs are the goal.

They made some moves via the portal, which should see the defense be stronger this season. As it stands at the moment, the Hokies are sitting at +1000 to win the conference, so they are still very much in the dark horse category.

Virginia Tech Hokies Postseason Odds

One of the biggest issues for the Hokies last season was their ability to get the job done against the better teams in the ACC.

If they are to take another step forward this season, that is the first thing that needs to change.

While their schedule is relatively easy, they will need those signature wins to impress the playoff committee if they can find their way to 10 wins this season.
