SP+ Projects Final Score for Virginia Tech vs. Pitt Matchup

Undefeated Virginia Tech and Pitt are set to collide in a historic matchup at Lane Stadium, marking the first time in modern college football history that two unranked, 4-0 major conference teams will face one another. Both squads enter the Friday evening contest with perfect records, though the SP+ analytical model anticipates an extremely tight affair, favoring the host Hokies by a razor-thin margin of just 0.1 points.

Individual player performances have fueled both sides during their opening four games. Virginia Tech quarterback Ethan Grunkemeyer has accumulated over a thousand passing yards without throwing a single interception, while Pitt counterpart Mason Heintschel has recorded thirteen touchdowns through the air alongside a single interception.

ESPN will broadcast the 7 p.m. ET kickoff as the Hokies face a higher-ranked SP+ opponent for the first time this season.
