Columbus, Ohio – In a thrilling turn of events on the college football scene, Virginia Tech pulled off an incredible late comeback to secure a final victory over the sixth-ranked Florida State on Saturday. This stunning win not only sent shockwaves through the rankings but also showcased the resilience of the Hokies. Trailing by two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, Virginia Tech rallied to score three unanswered touchdowns, finishing the game with a tight 28-27 score.
Meanwhile, on the broader college football landscape, Alabama suffered a surprising setback this weekend, falling to an unranked team, which has paved the way for Texas to reclaim the top spot in the new AP Poll. The Longhorns, now leading the polls, will be looking to build on this momentum as they head into the latter part of the season.
Looking ahead, the Ohio State Buckeyes are set to kick off their 2024 season with a full schedule lined up. Last season, they ended with an 11-2 record, capping it off with a loss to Missouri in the Cotton Bowl. As they prepare for the upcoming season, Ohio State aims to improve from that performance and earn a shot at the College Football Playoff.
The first playoff games of the season will begin on January 9, 2025, with the Orange Bowl in Miami and the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Texas, the following day. Fans are eagerly anticipating the championship game, scheduled to take place on January 20, 2025, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. This venue will make history by hosting the national championship game for the second time, after its previous hosting in 2018.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how the teams will shift in the standings and who will emerge as the dominant force in college football.
