2004 USC
2007 LSU

2013 Alabama (not national champion)
2014 Ohio State

2016 Tennessee?

Other interesting facts about Virginia Tech:

  • It is also known as VPI, for its proper name: Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
  • Va Tech has been one of the major and best-known sources of Army officers commissioned by ROTC in the nation (alongside Texas A&M, the Citadel, and VMI).
  • Va Tech's main administrative building, Burruss Hall, is architecturally a bit similar to Ayers Hall (though one is white stone and the other red brick).

Haha...true! From what I've been told they call it Hokie stone because Virginia Tech owns the rock quarry where that particular rock comes from.
