Florida State vs. Virginia Tech Prediction
I’m on Virginia Tech here. The Hokies haven’t been the same team when you take them out of Blacksburg this season, but the Hokies finished the year strong with three straight wins. Florida State was inconsistent down the stretch and it made it really hard to back this team with any sort of confidence. I’ll side with Virginia Tech.
