All Eyes on Orange Bowl Tonight: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech

Submitted by Anonymous on January 3, 2011 - 1:40pm

In one of the post-season's most intriguing match-ups -- and the only college or pro football game on tap tonight -- the Stanford Cardinal and the Virginia Tech Hokies tee it up at 8:30 p.m. in the Orange Bowl.

Stanford is led by junior Andrew Luck, who could be the first quarterback picked in the upcoming NFL draft. Tech is a 3.5-point underdog, having lost to both Boise State and James Madison to start the season. VaTech also sports a historic 1-26 record against top-five teams. (Its only win came against No. 3 Miami in Blacksburg in 2003.)

If Stanford hadn't blown a 31-24 halftime lead against No. 1 Oregon, the Cardinal would likely be playing for the national championship next weekend.

ACC teams are 4-3 in BCS play while the Pac-10 is 1-1.
