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.)
