[Credit: Harley Taylor][/caption]The Virginia Tech Hokies had an interesting week last week as the Hokies lost on the road at Miami but after being down by 14 at halftime, the Hokies came back and won a double overtime thriller over at the time 12th-ranked Virginia 80-78 to get the Hokies another signature win alongside their New Year's Eve win over Duke.
The Hokies sit in a great position now with 6 games to go and only one game against a ranked opponent (Saturday at Louisville) with all three home games being winnable along with two opportunities on the road at Boston College and Pittsburgh.
In their most recent bracket updates, Jerry Palm of CBS Sports has Virginia Tech as an 8 seed while Joe Lunardi of ESPN has the Hokies as a 9 seed. That is almost the same as last week with the Hokies dropping from the 8 seed line to the 9 seed line in Lunardi's but still maintains the fact that the Hokies are in great position to make the NCAA Tournament.
Here's a look at how the numbers look for Virginia Tech as they enter the final six games of their regular season. (Numbers as of February 13th)
