When it comes to the Virgina/Virginia Tech football rivalry, well, things haven't been too competitive in the series history. The Cavaliers dominated the series when it began; however, since 2000, it really hasn't been a series. Virginia Tech owns a 22-3 record, with the 2022 game cancelled due to the horrific UVA shootings.
After Virginia picked up a rare win in 2025, 27-7, in Charlottesville against the worst Hokies team in decades, Virginia Tech holds a 62-39-5 series advantage. It really isn't much of a rivalry on the field when one team has the dominance that the Hokies have. Here are the biggest blowouts of the series in the last two and a half decades, after Virginia dominated the series when it first started in 1895.
