A Virginia Tech game is going to be the featured destination on College GameDay for the first time since 2017, when they hosted Clemson in an eventual 31-17 loss in Lane Stadium.

On Sunday, November 15th, ESPN announced that College GameDay will be headed to Coral Gables for Virginia Tech's first trip to the sunshine state since 2024, where the Hokies lost in heartbreaking fashion, where a would-be game-winner Hail Mary attempt was overturned after being called a touchdown on the field.
Interestingly, Virginia Tech's first game after James Franklin was hired was last year's home game against Miami in late November, though Franklin did not coach that game and instead focused on recruiting.
This also marks the second consecutive season that College GameDay will be heading to Miami. The last time they went was in September of 2025, where the 4th ranked Hurricanes hosted unranked Florida, winning 26-7. It's also the third consecutive time that Miami has hosted College Gameday against an unranked opponent.
The Hokies are 4-10 all time when on College Gameday and Miami is 19-11.
Saturday's kickoff time will be at 7pm on ESPN.
