COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: Virginia Tech beat Georgia Tech, 37-26 on the road last year. The Hokies return QB Logan Thomas in what should be a top 10 team and BCS contender. This a defense that is loaded with talent, led by eight starters back. They led the league in sacks last year with 41, though that won’t matter much against Georgia Tech’s triple option. They have the defensive line to control the line of scrimmage led by DE James Gayle and DE J.R. Collins. Georgia Tech is coming off a disappointing 8-5 season, which started off after winning the first six games. Their defense is still a question mark as they gave up 30 or more points in their final four games of last season. They’ll have issues again.
