  • Why Virginia Tech is the Hottest Topic in CFB

    Virginia Tech is the hottest topic in college football for a reason. They fired their original head coach in September and up-anted the possibility of James Franklin.

    Franklin was fired midway through the season at Penn State and elected to coach again at VT. Franklin was considered one of the priciest in the market and did VT pay the price.

    Most known for his outstanding recruiting skills at PSU, Franklin, now, lines up in a good divesting ability to win out in college football. Besides, this is the hottest news coming out of some of the sports world. As for Fernando Mendoza and the Indiana Hoosiers, they still have to be considered a candidate.

    What Indiana has done from last year to overcoming the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Big Ten championship was captivating. Losing out on the fact that next year might be more spicier, could backfire Indiana.

    Indiana has received no fault in the CFB committee. It has not seen what has been coming out of James Franklin.
