Virginia Tech turns attention to ACC title, and gauntlet that starts at North Carolina

Published November 20, 2014

Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer sounds the same reminder every year when the Hokies lose a game that knocks them out of the national championship picture: We still have the ACC championship to chase.

Most years, the Hokies are not only contenders, but the favorites.

This year, Virginia Tech (3-2, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) has struggled offensively and defensively at times, and with a rigorous slate of all Atlantic Coast Conference games the rest of the way, the Hokies' hope for a sixth divisional title in eight years is tenuous at best.

Beamer's team plays at improving North Carolina (3-2, 0-1) on Saturday in Chapel Hill. N.C. It's the start of a gauntlet that eventually includes meetings with No. 3 Florida State, No. 15 Clemson and Miami.
