From the booth
The model favored VT to win, and the call missed.
Virginia Tech heads to Berkeley after a gut-punch loss at home to Pittsburgh, but the Hokies still sit at 4-1 on the year. California has dropped 2 straight and sits 2-3, and our model backs Virginia Tech at 75%, aligned with a market laying 9.5 points. The Hokies' offensive efficiency over the last 5 games and their season-long strength are the edge here.
