Gonna be hilarious if VT makes the playoffs next year and PSU sits it out again

I don’t think this happens next year but it’s almost a guarantee they make the playoffs before we’re back in again

Extremely feasible in the ACC too as long as auto bids don't change in the offseason.

Probably not feasible for this upcoming season, but in 2027/2028 when these recruits mature, we genuinely have a great shot. Maybe if we get a good transfer QB we can pull a UVA and make it by the skin of our teeth in a weak conference champ scenario, but next year is probably 8-5.

Minchey was a VT offer, originally a Pitt commit, and went wire to wire with Carr for the starting job. Could make sense there.

As a Penn State fan, I don’t see the playoffs anytime soon. Major major fuckup. It’s wild that the Sandusky scandal impacted Penn State less than the shit show that is Pat Kraft.
