Virginia Tech (9-2): The Fightin Jakes suffered a loss to Composite #113 Pittsburgh. If they had won, they might have been locked in the playoff. But now, they take on a red-hot UVA team that is looking for a playoff spot. If VT loses and goes 9-3 with no conference title game appearance, things may get spicy in the committee room.
