Just found this over at ESPN.

Phil Steele's has tech as the #8 sleeper team to watch this year with an outside (probably way outside) shot at the cfp. Other notables are Florida at 1, Miami at 2, lsu at 5, and michigan at 6.

(Not going to all out edit this but just reread the article and it's surprise teams not sleeper. Man I was sleep deprived)

Dang it. Forgot about that.

Slightly erratic, mostly sane, always a Hokie.

Winning the Coastal, taking Clemson to the wire, capping of a season with 10 wins again.

Lst team to "sleep" on the Hokies was probably Arkansas. I think the rest of the teams on our schedule are gonna be woke.

LSU, Michigan as sleeper teams? I would never call LSU a sleeper they have tons of talent every year

That's kind of what I took from this article too. If those are sleeper and tech is included in that group, what does that say about the program under Fuente?

One of these days the media won't buy into unrealized Miami hype

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:

So I know y'all can't read the link because of the paywall, but I was really surprised he picked LOLUVA as a sleeper team. He pointed out their solid defense and CBM's track record as a coach and...I'm sorry I'm laughing too hard to keep this up.

Only way LOLUVA is a sleeper team is if that means their coaches might as well be napping.

I got a good laugh out of this one. The whole time I was reading it I was like "I know hokie07ME has to be fucking with me..."
