Many things can happen in a bye week. In Blacksburg, Frank Beamer announced his retirement which sent shockwaves throughout the college football universe. Fast forward to Thursday night, as the Hokies invaded Atlanta to take on the Yellow Jackets of Georgia Tech. Virginia Tech entered the game with a 4-5 record and needed to win 2 of the next 3 to be bowl eligible. The bowl streak stands at 22 consecutive seasons, the longest in college football. Georgia Tech entered the tilt with a 3-6 mark, quite a difference from preseason expectations. The A.C.C. media picked Georgia Tech to win the Coastal division at media days in Pinehurst, and the Jackets never got it going this season.
