VATech won four ACC Championships in their first seven seasons in the conference. They have added another three division championships to that.

Like UNC and Miami, the Hokies will also be breaking in a new quarterback this fall. UM and the Hokies are the co-favorites in the Coastal this fall. By the time they meet in week ten it should be a de facto Coastal Division championship game.

The other games likely to garner some interest from the mothership are Bedlam between Oklahoma at Oklahoma State, LSU at Alabama, or Ohio State at Iowa.

A lot was made last year when Miami traveled to Notre Dame for the team’s first meeting on campus since 1990. A Hurricanes rally fell short in the fourth quarter when the Fighting Irish staged their own comeback to win late.

This will be ND’s first trip to Miami to face the Hurricanes since 1989. That was a memorable game that had a big say in the National Championship.

The Fighting Irish traveled to Miami as the nation’s top-ranked team and undefeated. It had been announced earlier in the day that they would play number two Colorado in the Orange Bowl on New Year’s Day.
