This guy on r/CFB has been ranking the best cfb teams of the last 40 years. His work is very thorough, highly recommend reading.
- Here's the guy's piece about VT.
- Here's the reddit mega-thread, with links to other teams.
His intro for VT:
if you expected to see Virginia Tech here, congratulations, you are over the age of 20. If not, you either need to have more birthdays or are a Virginia fan. If we just look at 1999-2011, Virginia Tech had 12 Top 25 finishes (6 Top 10) in 13 years, and is the #8 team in my rankings over that time period, including #1 in the ACC. Virginia Tech comes in as the 4th ranked ACC team over the last 40 years behind Clemson, Florida State, and Miami (FL), and for a good 20 years Blacksburg was one of the toughest places to play in the country.

Been a fun series to follow. Was wondering when our number would get called. Just glad to beat out west Virginia and Virginia. Lol
Even the first 30 years were good.
It's only been in the last 10 that things haven't gone as well.
When you start to worry that we might be left out of expansion, remember stuff like this
Eh, I think this is just a piece of what contributes to realignment. I'll be quite anxious about where we land until we actually land somewhere.
I hate that all his verbs are past tense.
Then you are saying he is relaxed?
