Coming off an embarrassing 51-28 loss at SMU on Friday night, the Virginia Tech football team was eliminated from contention for a spot in the ACC Championship Game next month in Charlotte. This weekend, James Franklin and the Hokies return to Lane Stadium this weekend to host Stanford under the lights in what is expected to be cold weather.

After this weekend, the Hokies will hit the road for their final ACC road game next week in South Florida against Miami. On Monday, the ACC released the time and TV destination for the game, and it put the Hokies and Hurricanes in a dreaded six-day hold.

On Monday, the ACC placed the Virginia Tech/Miami game in a six-day hold, meaning a decision won't be made until next Sunday. Also in the six-day hold are Wake Forest at Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh at Louisville.

Miami will be hosting Duke at noon this Saturday after coming off a loss at Notre Dame on Saturday night in South Bend in what is a tremendously must-watch game with Hurricanes QB Darian Mensah going up against his former team, which he led to an ACC Championship last December in a win over Virginia.

I think all Hokies fans will remember what happened the last time Virginia Tech was in South Florida. Virginia Tech scored what appeared to the game-winning touchdown on the last play of the game, only to have it overturned with didn't appear to be conclusive video evidence. Miami held on for the win, but despite the ACC's best efforts to get them to the ACC Championship Game that year, they still fell short with some Mario Cristobal losses that everybody should have seen coming.

Last year, the Hurricanes laid a whooping on the Hokies in Blacksburg, the weekend before Thanksgiving, and yet again, somehow, someway, Cristobal, despite having the most talented roster in the ACC, wasn't in Charlotte. Shocker. This year, however, they should go undefeated, with the Hokies being the next-to-last victim on their way to Charlotte.
