Virginia Tech's win last season is now just a footnote, a cautionary tale that an early season loss will not doom you in the College Football Playoff. If the Hokies look to push last season's win past footnote status, then 2 straight over the Buckeyes should do the trick.

The path to another Hokies win should be the same as last season. The defense and special teams have to be great, and the offense has to make the timely play and take care of the ball. The good news for the Hokies is the pieces are in place to have a repeat of last season's upset. Throw in a thunderous Lane Stadium in Blacksburg and the Hokies definitely have a chance.
