Postseason Bowl Projections for Virginia Football After Win Over Virginia Tech
The Virginia Cavaliers’ regular season is now over, and fortunately, they ended it on a high note. On Saturday, they clinched a 27-7 victory over Virginia Tech, landing themselves a spot in the ACC Championship Game. Prior to now, the Hokies held a winning streak over UVA, but the Cavaliers redeemed themselves by making a remarkable comeback.
“It gives us motivation. It gives us encouragement, a little bit of validation that we’re definitely headed in the right direction to make this a competitive rivalry and make Virginia a program of relevance locally and then also nationally,” head coach Tony Elliott said during his latest media appearance.
Not only was this victory a massive achievement for the players, but it was a major step in the right direction for Elliott. Doubt filled the air before their 2025 campaign began, but Elliott maintained a tight mindset — his players were capable of more than most expected. With the regular season now behind them, what are the postseason projections looking like?
ESPN: Mark Schlabach of ESPN projects that Virginia will be facing Ole Miss, currently ranked at No. 6 in the AP Top 25, on Dec. 20. Not only is UVA facing Ole Miss in this projection, but the Cavaliers are projected to win the game. In the CFP Quarterfinal on Jan. 1, he has UVA taking on No. 3 Georgia at the Allstate Sugar Bowl. As for ESPN writer Kyle Bonagura, he has Virginia playing No. 6 Oregon on Dec. 20, but he does not have the Cavaliers playing in the CFP Quarterfinal.
CBS: Brad Crawford of CBS Sports projects that UVA will face Oregon in the first round on Dec. 19 or 20, with the winner taking on Indiana. A Virginia-Oregon matchup would be an interesting night, as the Ducks currently own an overall record of 11-1 and are 8-1 in conference play. They would undoubtedly put UVA to the test, but this wouldn’t be the first time the Cavaliers have overcome a challenge.
Elliott said it best, “… the hardest part is when you’re trying to teach others, you can’t do it for them, right? You can’t do it for them, but you can encourage them. You can try to inspire them, and you can get them to that point, but man, they’ve got to do it for themselves. And that’s really the coolest thing, right?
Virginia’s regular season activity may be over, but now is the time for the Cavaliers to really dig in and achieve what most thought would be impossible this year. The Cavaliers have had a remarkable 2025 campaign, but how far will they be able to push their limits in college football this time around?

Former Virginia Gov Glenn Youngkin hints at political future, says he’s ‘chomping at the bit’ after exit
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Former Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signaled his political career may not be over, telling Sean Hannity he still has “more to give” just under three months after leaving office.
“I have more to give. I just do. The one year of campaigning and the four years of running, so five years, went by in five seconds. It was amazing,” Youngkin said on the “Hang Out with Sean Hannity” podcast.
In the full episode, debuting Tuesday, Youngkin sat down with the Fox News host to discuss his time in office, as well as what things have been like since his term expired in January.

“Every morning [when I was governor], I woke up literally bounding out of bed, ready to roll, and that was the most purposeful I’ve ever felt in my whole life.“
Youngkin oversaw a range of conservative measures passed in the state, including a push to ensure age-appropriate curriculum in public schools.

He also pushed for tax cuts, including efforts to reduce the state’s grocery tax, rolled back COVID-19 restrictions early in his tenure and emphasized tougher public safety policies.
His time in office concluded earlier this year, when Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s administration succeeded his.
“I’ve been out of office for six weeks. I took [my wife] Suzanne on vacation, which she so deserved. She’s been amazing. I think she’s of the best first ladies in America,” he said.

“But six weeks has felt like six years… You’re chomping at the bit.”
While Youngkin stopped short of outlining specific plans for the future, his comments suggest he is keeping the door open to a return to public office.

Denver police arrest man suspected in fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue
Denver police have arrested the man they believe was responsible for a fatal shooting on E. Virginia Avenue on Thursday afternoon.
According to an arrest affidavit, the Denver Dispatch Center received a 911 call around 12:35 p.m. to report a shooting in the 10100 block of E. Virginia Ave. The caller told dispatch workers that a white SUV was fleeing the scene.
Responding officers found a man who was critically wounded. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.
Investigators reportedly discovered a handgun, the victim’s cellphone and money in the area where the shooting happened. They also located surveillance footage in the area, which appeared to show the victim exiting a white Chevrolet Tahoe as gunshots could be heard. He walked to the east, looking for help, before collapsing on the ground.
The affidavit says a conversation was discovered on the victim’s Instagram account in which he was speaking with another person who was selling a firearm.
Aurora police assisted investigators using the Flock License Plate Reader system, identifying the Tahoe at several locations. Police said the vehicle had unique characteristics on the passenger rear wheel. The affidavit says that, before the shooting, the vehicle had a rear license plate, but after the shooting, it was missing.
Investigators found the vehicle, executed a search warrant and found a fired cartridge case in the back seat. A person connected to the case reportedly told officers that he drove his friend, later identified as Daniel Puga Villegas, to meet a person to collect money from him. However, he says an argument took place, and Villegas shot the victim, then ripped off his temporary rear license plate and, while still holding the gun, told him to drive.
Villegas was arrested on Sunday with assistance from the APD and is facing charges of first-degree murder.
