I figured after what happened last year, ODU would have VT's full attention. I felt like Tech would want revenge and that we'd dismiss them fairly easily. I'll take a win anyway I can get it, but it wasn't as dominant as I would've hoped.
I'm not quite as confident about Furman as I was about ODU. Despite being an FCS team, Furman might be a little better than ODU. The Massey Ratings have ODU rated about 1.5 points better than Furman, but the Sagarin Ratings have Furman about 3 points better than ODU.
Tech was a 28 point favorite against ODU, but only a 21 point favorite against Furman. ODU's probably a bottom 15 FBS team while Furman's ranked #13 in the FCS Coaches Poll. Georgia State had to fight like hell to come back against Furman in Week 2, a week after GSU went to Knoxville and beat the Vols.
I obviously want Tech to win 52-0, but I think we're in for a tougher test this week than we had last week. Maybe a better way of phrasing it...I'm more nervous going into this game with Furman than I was going into the Old Dominion game. Should I be?
