That's a fair take.


We have lost more winnable games than we should. I do think the parity in college football means that all winnable games won't be won. It just is what it is. K-State beating OU earlier this year is an example of that.

I think what happens is the margin for error just isn't that large. Even if we have a bit more talent than Duke and Wake, the gap isn't huge. As a result, if you play those games 10 times, we lose 3 of them. That's just the reality with so much parity.

However, VT has, historically, been the favorite being beat more often than the underdog pulling the upset. That was true under Beamer and is true with Fuente. I don't know why that's been the case for so long -- but it is frustrating.
