VT improved to 5-0 (4-0 in the BCS) by beating Western Michigan 30-0 after a tough first half. The WMU defense looked quite impressive in the first half, but they just couldn't hold on for a full 60 minutes.

VT has yet to play a Big East game, which makes me quite nervous. They have to play BC on the road next Thursday (Oct 10), who went down to the Orange Bowl and had an impressive first half against Miami. Pitt comes to Blacksburg, while the Miami game in the Orange Bowl looms off in the distance. VT also has to face in-state rival Virginia, in late November, which will be their sixth non-conference opponent this year.

The Miami Hurricanes, who are off today, have some tough games coming up as well. They still have to face Florida State, Tennessee, Pittsburgh, and of course Virginia Tech.
