My Hokies are on upset watch tomorrow against Rutgers. The way I see it, nothing good can happen from playing Rutgers. Rutgers lost to VT 99-0 over the past two years, and they lost to West Virginia last week 40-0.
At best, Tech will beat Rutgers bad, and their strength of schedule ranking will still go down. At worst, they'll lose and ruin any chances of a national title shot. In between, they could put up mediocre numbers and end up dropping behind Ohio State, something that happened to OSU after their scare versus Cinci.
I still think Notre Dame is going to get knocked off soon. Since Pitt couldn't pull it off last weekend, I'm looking for Air Force to do it this week. Also, look for Iowa State to beat Oklahoma this week. They looked impressive versus Nebraska two weeks ago, and a narrow loss to FSU is the only thing keeping them from being in the Top 10.
