CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - All week long, the chatter about Virginia being on the rise left out an important fact in the mind of Virginia Tech's players: They were still the best in the commonwealth until proven otherwise.

The No. 6 Hokies showed they were tops Saturday night, blanking the No. 24 Cavaliers 38-0, their first shutout loss at home in 172 games - since a 55-0 defeat to Clemson on Sept. 8, 1984.

VPI was definitely the better team out there today.

2nd tier league.

Tech would have 3+ losses in Pac 12.
Similar - depending on who they play - in SEC.

Marshall? Appalachian State? East Carolina? Duke? Arkansas State? What kind of schedule is that?

They count UVA as a game? Not a practice?

Yeah me too..... They'll still go bowling though and it was their best season in five years. But a 38 - 0 whupping really smarts!

I still remember this routine by Colin Cowherd on his radio show ripping Virginia football fans:

Cowherd rips on UVA football fans

People sometimes forget that Virginia Tech has produced a lot of NFL-quality players in the past 15 years.
