Has anybody looked closely at VT schedule this year?

I see two tough games for them. And, I'm not sold on how tough Miami will be. I hear it every year, "The U is back!" They may be, but I'm not buying it until they show me.
Assuming the U is a solid team, I see two games that are tough for VT - at Miami and Clemson at home.
I'll link there schedule at the bottom of this post. But, I'm thinking the loser of the FSU Clemson game better not lose another game. VT beats Miami then I see a real possibility that they only lose one conference game (to Clemson).
They could be this year's edition of 2024 Louisville. Good team. Soft schedule. Even their OOC schedule is soft.
Just sayin' folks better beware of the Hokies. They will probably be favored in 10 of their games.
Somebody tell me who the third toughest game on their schedule is.

That is without a doubt the easiest schedule (other than Clemson) that I’ve ever seen. They will some how drop one though. They will lose to either Duke, GT, Syracuse, or BC. ####, they lost to Old Dominion a couple years ago and they have them again…..

the day the schedule came out.
Plus, they return more than just about anyone in the country and they picked up a few good pieces out of the transer portal.

I don’t think they will be good enough to only lose two conference games. They have a weak schedule but still not sold on them.

Miami will be a much better team than past years.
VT will be better, and playing there is always tuff.
I have a decades old bet with a VT grad/lawyer for a case of Guinness every time we play. Before Dabo he was ahead, but we caught up.

VT has always had a fairly easy schedule. Even under the old divisional format BC was their crossover opponent, UVA is their end of the year rival and they missed Clemson and FSU most years. Their noncon schedule has always been pretty soft too

Is VT your third favorite team? They will lose 4-5 on that schedule. Old Dominion or Marshall will give them at least one of them

I have a friend who is a VT grad, so I know a little more about them. Pry seems to be doing a decent job getting them back on track after years of life below mediocre.
I have heard they have a weak schedule, so I decided to take a closer look. It is easier than I expected. Before the beginning of last season nobody was talking about Louisville being a strong contender to end up in Charlotte. I'm actually hearing a few people saying VT is a dark horse. Looking at the schedule, I believe that characterization. I would put them as the third most likely team to reach Charlotte (behind Clemson and FSU).
