In Or Out? As of right now, I have to say in. They've been sitting on the bubble for a while now, but I think they have done enough to get into the field. They have a very good win against Duke, and a Florida St. team that also beat the Blue Devils. The play the Seminoles again today, and a win would probably solidify their spot in the field. If they lose it will reopen this conversation, but as it stands right now, I think the Hokies are in.
