🏈 Virginia vs Wake Forest, Saturday, 8 November 2025, 1900, ESPN

If we run the table, we should be 10 or 11, maybe 12, depending on Pitt-ND going into the ACCCG. Oklahoma and Texas should lose again and we’ll pass them. Might pass the loser of BYU-TTU.

It’ll be interesting to see whether the ACC runner up or the Big 12 runner up or both or neither make the playoff.

If we win out do we think we’d make the top 8 and host? I assume so but they seem to view the ACC as a distant 4th best conference

I’d imagine the teams above us are going to cannibalize themselves. There’s a potential opening.

Texas Tech-BYU this week is one example. Georgia has a tough schedule down the stretch, so does Oregon (not a projected host, but still ahead of us).

That notre dame spot is insane to me. Their best wins are losses and a win at home against #19 USC. We have a win over #15 in their building. Utah has a win over an unranked team and some nice losses.

These teams are all better than us, but their resumes aren’t!

The Notre Dame one really fires me up tho

I don’t recall running fakes, but I do recall a time or two that he threw passes out of FG sets.

I think we could get 8th if everything breaks right. Texas and Oklahoma lose down the stretch, ND loses to Pitt, BYU and TTU split this weekend and the rematch in the Big 12 championship game. And we’d still need to pass Utah.

It might be funnier to win the ACC and stay ranked 14th.

Feel like CTE would have a good chance at National COTY if not for the job Cignetti has done at Indiana.

The Utah and ND spots are a killer for our at large chances if we make and lose the ACCCG. Both those teams should win out. Texas has a gauntlet so they’ll drop, Oklahoma probably drops one more, so that gets us to 12 but you need to be 10 to get in. I don’t think they’ll drop loser of BYU-TTU too far unless it’s bad, and they won’t drop anyone above that for a loss far enough to matter.

Maybe they’ll give us a bump with a Duke win? But them not being ranked makes that hard

Our path is ACC champion or bust barring some unlikely things. Those Notre Dame and Utah spots just don’t make any sense to me.

Hail Pitt I guess.

The CFP is so beyond my preseason expectations, I won’t even be mad if we lose the ACCCG and don’t get in. If we get to 10 in the regular season and one is against VT, 2025 will be my fondest memory of UVa football outside of the 1989 & 1995 ACC champ seasons.

Lots of moving pieces obviously, but it basically kicks to Duke vs. winner of Louisville-SMU or GT-Pitt.

Louisville has to play Clemson and Pitt has to play Miami so it’s not even that clean cut.. GT and SMU have the clearest paths if they win those games.

Ugh so that ridiculous PI call in the Clemson game could cost us

Sounds like we may have a solid crowd Saturday. Team deserves it.
