This strikes me as the most dangerous game remaining on Clemson’s schedule. The Virginia Tech Hokies got off to a rocky start but rebounded from a pair of close losses with a blowout win at Stanford. The Hokies have Boston College, Georgia Tech, and Syracuse ahead of this game, and they could conceivably be 6-3 and red hot or 3-6 and despondent. If Virginia Tech has some momentum and Clemson enters at 7-1 and in the top ten, Clemson will need to be on upset watch. Ultimately, Virginia Tech does not have enough on offense to threaten the Tigers, and Clemson wins a challenging road game.
Prediction: Clemson 31 - Virginia Tech - 21
