Virginia Tech reportedly is finalizing a contract with James Franklin to make him its next head coach after he was fired by Penn State last month. With Franklin reportedly heading to Blacksburg, here are some of the top candidates for Florida and LSU.

The Seminoles are fighting to get bowl eligible, and the Hokies are battling to keep their season alive. Here’s the Virginia Tech vs Florida State preview, prediction, and betting line.

Tommy Castellanos had a pair of touchdown runs and tossed a 50-yard TD pass to Duce Robinson as Florida State scored on six straight drives to defeat Virginia Tech 34-14.

Meanwhile, Florida State produced a terrific opening to the season, toppling then-No. 8 Alabama and vaulting up to as high as No. 8 itself. However, once its ACC slate arrived, the Seminoles crashed. Florida State has just one conference win this season and five in-conference losses, including a 20-13 defeat at the hands of Stanford.

Then, on Saturday night, the Hokies were in Tallahassee to face the disappointing Florida State Seminoles. It was a close and competitive game for 30 minutes, but FSU, being the more talented team, ran away with it in the second half, defeating the Hokies 34-14. Virginia Tech falls to 3-7 on the season and 2-4 in ACC play.
