Projection: need to automatically qualify

Virginia Tech's resume struggles to make a strong case for an at-large bid due to a lack of quality wins and several notable losses that weigh down its overall profile. The team has faced tough opponents, with losses to Penn State and Michigan that expose vulnerabilities, particularly on defense. Though victories against teams like Clemson and NC State show potential, the inconsistency in performance, highlighted by losses to teams such as Wake Forest and Georgia Tech, diminishes their standing significantly. The upcoming stretch features critical matchups against teams like SMU and Notre Dame, where securing wins is essential for strengthening their tournament prospects. Ultimately, if Virginia Tech can rally and secure victories in these contests, especially against higher-ranked opponents, they could bolster their tournament hopes, but the path remains fraught with challenges.
