That will do it for the national title talk. In fact, after Saturday night's loss at Georgia Tech, No. 4 Virginia Tech will be in a battle just to win the Coastal Division of the ACC. The Hokies' offense couldn't capitalize on great field position. The battle of the Techs was won by Georgia's version, 28-23, ending a five-game winning streak and bombing BCS championship dreams for the Hokies. As the season's first BCS rankings came out, the Hokies will be left to wonder what might have been. They started three drives in Georgia Tech territory that resulted in zero points. Virginia Tech's defense will go back to the drawing board during its upcoming off week after allowing more than 270 rushing yards in the second half Saturday. Over the game's final 34 minutes, the Hokies gave up four plays that gained at least 30 yards. What is funny the D-Coordinator caution just that in practice this week, "They're going to get yards," he said. "What we can't do is give up big plays. If you keep it to three or four yards... it gives you a chance." So because they did give up the big plays, their ACC and national title hopes turned into a Georgia Tech party.
