National title contenders

CollegeFootballNews.com ranks the Hokies 5th in national title contenders. Great on paper huh? This reminds me of the 2003 preseason rankings of the hokies -- hmmmn.

5. Virginia Tech 2004 Record: 10-3 ACC

The Hokies flourished last year with its nobody-respects-us attitude. Can they handle being the hunted? Frank Beamer teams have crashed and burned recently when they were supposed to be great, but the pressure is on anyway with just about everyone of note coming back on both sides of the ball (helped mostly by the return of Jimmy Williams to the secondary). Everyone but ACC Player of the Year Bryan Randall, so Marcus Vick has to put everything in the past and be the player everyone was hoping he’d be before all the trouble.

Biggest offensive loss: QB Bryan Randall
Biggest defensive loss: DT Jim Davis
