00:00Let's take a look at the rivalry matchup.

00:02We had talked about the dominance for Virginia Tech over Virginia.

00:07They had won 19 in the last 20 games.

00:10They had won four straight coach by 20 points per game,

00:13but they came out flat in Charlottesville.

00:16Credit Tony Elliott, credit Chandler Rogers in that offense.

00:20The defense shut down Kyron Jones.

00:22They never looked back.

00:24They were in complete control every step of the way.

00:27They win it by 20 points, 27-7,

00:31and now this might be the most complete team in the conference.

00:34They have an opportunity to be 11-2.

00:37Tony Elliott has done a fantastic job in Charlottesville.

00:41He really has.

00:42They are the most complete football team in the ACC.

00:45It's just been amazing what they've done.

00:47They held Virginia Tech to their lowest offensive total of the entire season,

00:53and they're so steady.

00:54They're just a solid football team.

00:57They play good offense, good defense, and they don't make a lot of turnovers.

01:03And so, excuse me, they're favored, again, to win the conference,

01:08and it's just because they're so consistent.

01:10If their quarterback, Chandler Morris, plays a consistent football game,

01:14they're going to be just fine.

01:16Again, they're playing a team they played before in the conference championship.

01:20But I think they dominated Virginia Tech, and they are playing like a team,

01:24consistently good on offense, good on defense, don't turn the ball over too much,

01:29and win third downs in close ball games.

01:33Absolutely.

01:34And, again, let's not forget, you know, Virginia was never good

01:37or had stepped up in recent years on the defensive side of the ball.

01:41They have put together solid defensive performances going down the stretch,

01:47leading into the ACC title game.

01:49We'll see if it can continue against Darian Mensah and the Duke Blue Devils.

01:54The late-night matchup took place in Palo Alto.

01:57Stanford was not going to make it to a bowl,

01:59but they did cover the 32-and-a-half-point number against Notre Dame.

02:04Will that affect Notre Dame and their playoff chances?

02:07They did not cover this line, but they still win it by 29 points.

02:11They built a 28-nothing first-half lead, never looked back.

02:15Coach, Notre Dame right now is 1-10 straight

02:18and is one of the hottest teams in the nation

02:20entering conference championship weekend.

02:23Yeah, I think 49-20 if you're a voter on the top 12

02:28and you're not wagering on the game, it's a big win,

02:32and they won by a big margin.

02:34It was an easy victory for them.

02:36They've won all their last four games by double digits.

02:40They've done everything they can.

02:42And so Notre Dame is just sitting and waiting to see what people say.

02:46Ultimately, I think down the road it's going to be,

02:48did their Miami loss hurt them so much that it would knock them out?

02:53But I think they're going to be okay.

02:54But they have won their last four games by double digits.

02:57They've played very well.

02:59And I'll be honest with you, when it's the playoff time, if they're in,

03:02they've got a team that can go pretty far in the playoffs.
