Jerry Palm Virginia Quotations

The poll margin is enormous. Virginia Tech would have to be two spots ahead of Texas in the computers to get close. They need to hope those poll margins erode.

You're already seeing signs that Virginia Tech is catching Texas.

It's a paper-thin margin. It's irrelevant, because Virginia Tech is not going to catch Southern Cal and they have a faint hope of catching Texas. Virginia Tech isn't going to catch Southern Cal before they (the Trojans) catch Texas.

Don't be surprised if Virginia Tech is not only behind Texas but Georgia as well when the first release comes out.

If Virginia Tech is the only one-loss team, then they make the Sugar Bowl. Otherwise, they don't.

If Virginia Tech ends up number one in all six computer polls, like Texas is now, and the Longhorns are number three in the computer polls, that would make up the current gap in the human polls. That's the best-case scenario for Virginia Tech. It's not like last year when Auburn was third in the human polls and third in the computer polls.
