Heading into the week, Bill Connelly’s SP+ Rankings placed Virginia Tech as the 36th best team in the Nation, but the Hokies saw a significant increase after th
eir dominant win against Boston College.Kyron Drones accounted for 200 yards, Bhayshul Tuten ran for 266 sacks, and Antwaun Powell-Ryland sacked Thomas Castellanos four times on the day. It was a good game for the Hokies.
Virginia Tech’s season hasn’t always been this way. Kyron Drones threw for just 137 in a loss to Rutgers. Bhayshul Tuten only ran for 34 yards in Virginia Tech’s overtime loss to Vanderbilt. Antwaun Powell-Ryland only recorded three tackles and a sack in Miami’s win against the Hokies.Virginia Tech dropped all the way down to 51st, found their footing and moved up 45th, and slightly improved each week from there, with the Hokies now landing a top twenty five ranking by Bill Connelly’s SP+.
"As always, these are based on three primary factors: returning production , recent recruiting and recent history. How good have you been recently? Whom do you have coming back? How good are the players replacing those you don't have coming back? That's loosely what we ask when we're setting expectations for a team; it's also what these projections attempt to do objectively.
As always: SP+ is a tempo- and opponent-adjusted measure of college football efficiency. It is a predictive measure of the most sustainable and predictable aspects of football, not a résumé ranking, and, along those same lines, these projections aren't intended to be a guess at what the AP Top 25 will look like at the end of the year. These are simply early offseason power rankings based on the information we have been able to gather to date.
