Virginia Tech Hokies become an ACC DARK HORSE? | 2026 College Football Preview Series

The Love For The Game 2026 College Football Preview Series continues with the Virginia Tech Hokies. After previewing Indiana and West Virginia, we head to Blacksburg to break down one of the most interesting teams in the ACC. Virginia Tech is coming off a rough 3-9 season, but this does not look like a normal 3-9 team heading into 2026. With James Franklin taking over in Year 1, major returning production, a strong transfer portal class, and a much more optimistic profile in the LFTG Performance Index, the Hokies could be one of the biggest bounce-back teams in college football. In this preview, we break down Virginia Tech’s 2025 season, James Franklin’s impact, the transfer portal additions, the quarterback situation, offensive and defensive questions, the 2026 schedule, and the projected floor, ceiling, and final record. Can Virginia Tech go from 3-9 to 9-3? Or is the rebuild still going to take more time? Drop your Virginia Tech record prediction, and which team I should preview next, in the comments!
