Where Does Virginia Tech Play In ESPN’s Latest Bowl Projections?
Virginia Tech suffered their first conference loss of the year in a heart-breaking loss to Miami.
Although the Hokies may have lost that game, the performance made some analysts feel more optimistic about where Virginia Tech will land in the post-season.
Every week, ESPN’s Kyle Bonagura and Mark Schlabach release their Bowl projections, predicting the new 12-team playoff format, and the 36-game slate of other Bowl games.
In this week’s predictions, Virginia Tech did not land in the College Football Playoff, but two other Bowl games against a group-of-five contender or a strong Power Four team.
Kyle Bonagura predicted the Hokies will land in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl–a bowl game between teams from ACC and AAC teams. Last year’s Wasabi Fenway Bowl featured a matchup between Boston College and SMU, and a matchup between Cincinnati and Louisville the year prior.
Their opponent in this prediction? The Memphis Tigers. The Tigers were a team heading into the season which seemed like a contender for the fifth conference champion spot in the College Football Playoff, but a 56-44 loss to Navy has probably derailed those dreams unless all of the other group-of-five champions fail to be undefeated.
Mark Schlabach went a different direction with his prediction, placing the Hokies in the Birmingham Bowl against TCU. Although this would be an exciting matchup, it’s very unlikely. The Birmingham Bowl currently has tie-ins with the SEC and the AAC, with the C-USA and the MAC serving as substitutes if the SEC and the AAC cannot fufill their commitments. In the rare occasion that all four of these conferences cannot serve a team to the game, that would be the only way TCU and Virginia Tech would play in this game against each other.
In that scenario, that would be extremely fun matchup. Virginia Tech has an explosive offense, evidenced by their performance against Miami last week, and TCU has one of the most explosive offenses in the country, evidenced by their average of 42.2 points per game scored on offense.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
