Rankings from AP Poll
The 2004 Virginia Tech Hokies football represented the Virginia Tech in the 2004 NCAA Division I-A football season. Virginia Tech won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in its inaugural year in the conference, running off a streak of eight straight wins to end the regular season after a 2–2 start. Tech posted a 10-3 record and finished 10th in the final Associated Press after losing to undefeated Auburn in the Sugar Bowl. The team's head coach was Frank Beamer, who was named ACC Coach of the Year. [1] Tech was led on the field by quarterback Bryan Randall, who was named ACC player of the year. [2]
Virginia Tech began the season unranked nationally, and picked sixth in the ACC's preseason poll, [3] having lost five of its last seven games the previous season. The Hokies faced a daunting schedule, beginning with a nationally televised game against the defending national co-champion USC Trojans. That game, known as the BCA Classic, was the first NCAA college football game of the year, and would be followed by a tough conference schedule.
