NEW ORLEANS - A couple decades ago, few in college football
would have placed Virginia Tech in the same elite class as
Michigan.
As the two teams collide in Tuesday night's Sugar Bowl, however,
the team more associated with sustained success in recent years
won't be wearing maize and blue.
Virginia Tech (11-2) is the team that has won no fewer than 10
games in eight straight seasons. The Hokies are the ones whose 19th
straight bowl appearance represents one of the longest such streaks
in the country.
Michigan (10-2) has not been to a BCS bowl since losing to
Southern California in the Rose to conclude the 2006 season. The
Wolverines have not won any bowl since 2003, but they've looked
better under first-year coach Brady Hoke.
