No. 11 Virginia Tech at No. 6 Boston College

Do you like offense or defense? If you're offensive minded Boston College is your team.

Matt Ryan has guided the Eagles to an ACC best 331.75 passing yards and 440 total yards of offense per game. BC's Achilles’ heel is pass defense as they are ranked 106th.

Virginia Tech is the ACC's best defensive team. The Hokies are second in the nation holding opponents to fewer than 16 ppg and are plus 13 in turnover margin. However, V-Tech is ranked 97th in total offense.

Boston College has won three of the last four games in this series. Unfortunately for them, the Hokies will win the game that matters the most.

If Oklahoma and Pittsburgh win Virginia Tech could be playing Ohio State in New Orleans.

Virginia Tech 27, Boston College 20
