Takeaways
Tony Elliott can have ample alternative to rack up some wins in his first season in Charlottesville. In keeping with ESPN’s FPI rankings launched earlier this week, Virginia’s energy of schedule is ranked 74th within the nation. UVA has the simplest schedule within the Atlantic Coast Convention and the second-easiest schedule in all of Energy 5 soccer (credit score to Danny Neckel on Twitter for digging up that stat).
That comparatively straightforward schedule begins with Virginia’s slate of 4 non-conference opponents this fall. UVA’s sport in opposition to Coastal Carolina in late November will probably be probably the most troublesome of the bunch to win. The Chanticleers, led by 2020 Related Press Coach of the Yr Jamey Chadwell, have turned in a 22-3 file within the final two seasons out of the Solar Belt Convention.
Virginia can even go to Illinois because the second a part of a home-and-home collection. A street sport at a Massive Ten opponent is not any stroll within the park, however the Combating Illini aren’t precisely the category of the Massive Ten both, going 5-7 in 2021 together with a blowout 42-14 loss at Virginia. Illinois has not had a successful season since 2011. The Cavaliers can even host in-state opponents Previous Dominion and Richmond this season.
Apart from the Coastal Carolina sport in November, UVA’s 2022 non-conference slate isn’t very thrilling and definitely not probably the most troublesome. That can change beginning in 2023. Given the massive video games Tony Elliott was accustomed to teaching in throughout his time at Clemson, it comes as no shock that he has made an instantaneous effort to place an enormous title on Virginia’s non-conference schedule. UVA will tackle Tennessee at Nissan Stadium in Nashville to kickoff the 2023 school soccer season. Taking part in an SEC opponent in what’s going to primarily be a street sport to begin the season says rather a lot about Tony Elliott’s confidence in the place his Virginia soccer program will probably be in 12 months 2. This would be the first time the Cavaliers face an SEC opponent within the common season since 2003.

This is an extremely underrated aspect of bowl games, as home field advantage becomes much realer in teams’ final games of the season. As seen earlier in bowl season, like in the Birmingham Bowl featuring Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt, fans have a big effect on the game.
Bank of America Stadium is roughly a 3 hour drive from Blacksburg, with Apple Maps giving an estimate of 3 hours and 6 minutes for a drive from Lane Stadium to Bank of America Stadium. Huntington Bank Stadium, the home of the Gophers, is significantly farther from Bank of America Stadium than Lane. Apple Maps estimates the drive from Huntington Bank Stadium to Bank of America Stadium to be a 16 hour, 43 minute drive. Virginia Tech fans travel fairly well and Minnesota’s fans will likely have to catch flights if they want to see their team play in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl.
I would not be shocked to see a stadium heavily dominated by Hokies fans which could swing the momentum if the game is as close as ESPN’s FPI projects it to be. ESPN’s FPI system predicts the Duke’s Mayo Bowl as a true toss-up, with the Virginia Tech Hokies receiving a 51.3% chance to win and the Minnesota Golden Gophers earning a 48.7% chance to win.
This seems like a cop-out especially when you consider P.J. Fleck’s bowl record and the fact that Brent Pry has only coached in one bowl game, but Virginia Tech absolutely dominated a ranked Tulane in the Military Bowl last year.
Pry has shown up in big games as a head coach and almost picked up another signature win this year against No. 7 Miami, although that game just slipped out of the Hokies hands, Pry now has a chance to prove himself. He’s fired his defensive coordinator and now would be the perfect time to prove he belongs with a signature win against a strong Big 10 team as an underdog.
Pop Watson was the Hokies’ best kept secret, but it’s no secret now. He is absolutely one of the best young quarterbacks in the conference and I think he has the potential to light up the Hokies’ secondary in the Mayo Bowl. Watson might be the best quarterback that plays in this game and he has the skills to take down a extremely strong Minnesota secondary.
I would not be shocked if there are plenty of plays designed just to showcase Watson’s skills. He is a dynamic play maker who can take control of the ball game at any time. He has the arm to take the top off of the defense, and if any receiver can get open, he can definitely make the right read. Similar to Brent Pry, this is a big ‘prove it’ game for Pop Watson, and I think he definitely has what it takes.

Virginia’s housing market showed a significant uptick in November, according to the latest Virginia Home Sales Report from Virginia REALTORS®. The data reveals strong growth in closed and pending sales, as well as continued price increases across most areas of the state.
In November, 7,853 homes were sold statewide, marking a 13% increase compared to the same time last year. This marks the second consecutive month of double-digit growth in closed sales. Pending sales also rose sharply, with 6,863 homes placed under contract—a 15.2% increase from November 2023. “This strong performance caps off a year that, despite challenges, has ended on a high note for Virginia’s housing market,” said Ryan Price, Chief Economist for Virginia REALTORS®.
The state also saw a boost in new listings, with 9,031 homes listed for sale, a 10.3% increase from the previous year. “More sellers are entering the market, contributing to the growth in new listings,” noted Lorraine Arora, President of Virginia REALTORS® for 2025. However, she cautioned that while inventory is expanding, the total number of listings remains about 40% smaller than it was five years ago. By the end of November, there were 18,870 active listings statewide, a 12% year-over-year increase.
Home prices continued to climb, with the median sales price reaching $415,000, a $30,000 increase from November 2023. Nearly 76% of local markets in Virginia saw median price growth. Despite this, affordability remains a challenge for many buyers, especially as mortgage rates remain elevated.
