Since the team's first competition in 1892, Tech has played in over 1,100 sanctioned football games.
Virginia Tech faced the Boston College Eagles in the 2007 ACC Championship game , the final game of the 2007 regular season.
The Virginia Tech Hokies college football program are part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Since the team's creation in 1891 by professor Ellison A. Smyth —who coached the team in its first game, which was played the next year[ 1] —the Hokies have participated in more than 1,100 officially sanctioned games, including 32 bowl games .
Historically, the Hokies have had limited success. From 1892 to 1921, Tech competed as a football independent . The Hokies won several games against larger, better-funded teams during this time, but did not compete in many games outside the American South . From 1921 to 1964, Tech was a member of the Southern Conference and won the conference championship in 1963. The membership of the Southern Conference fluctuated wildly at times during Tech's tenure. When the conference was created in 1921, it boasted 23 teams. This number was reduced when the Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference split away in 1932 and 1953, respectively. By the time Tech won the conference championship in 1963, the conference's membership had shrunk to less than 10 teams. Tech administrators, wanting to expand the football program, chose to leave the conference and become a football independent once more.[ 2]
Though Tech joined athletic conferences in other sports during the 1980s, it remained a football independent until 1991, when Virginia Tech became a member of the Big East conference . In 1993, Tech received an invitation to the Independence bowl, beginning a streak that has seen the Hokies invited to a bowl game at the conclusion of every season until 2020.[ 3] In 1995, the Hokies defeated the Texas Longhorns in the 1995 Sugar Bowl ,[ 4] vaulting them into national prominence.[ 5] During the early 2000s, Virginia Tech football teams were consistently ranked among the best in the country according to season-ending polls.[ 6] In 2000, Virginia Tech participated in the 2000 Sugar Bowl , which served as the national championship game of the 1999 college football season .[ 7] In addition to that appearance, the Hokies have participated in several other Bowl Championship Series games, which represent the highest tier of postseason accomplishment.[ 8] In 2009, the Hokies defeated the Cincinnati Bearcats in the 2009 Orange Bowl .[ 9]
Today, the Hokies are a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and have competed in that conference since 2004, when the Hokies left the Big East. Tech won three Big East conference championships prior to departing that conference, and since joining the ACC, the Hokies have won that conference four times.

^ Overtime rules in college football were introduced in 1996, making ties impossible.
^ The Associated Press began conducting a weekly college football poll in 1936. Prior to 1936, polls were conducted by multiple organizations, but because Virginia Tech was unranked prior to the introduction of the AP poll, they are not listed here.
^ The college football coaches' poll has been sponsored by multiple organizations since its creation in 1950. Its current sponsor is USA Today .
^ Virginia Tech's website lists the game against Alleghany Institute as a victory, but newspaper articles that ran in The Roanoke Times and The Richmond Dispatch list Alleghany as the winner. However, there is a retraction stated in the following issue of The Roanoke Times that said the score should have been 20-0 Virginia Tech (Blacksburg) - thus, the Virginia Tech website is correct.
^ Virginia Tech's website lists the game against Alleghany Institute as a victory, but newspaper articles that ran in The Roanoke Times and The Richmond Dispatch list Alleghany as the winner.
^ The number and variety of teams participating in Southern Conference play fluctuated wildly during Tech's time as a member of the league. From a height of 23 members in the 1920s, membership declined at times to just nine teams by the 1960s.
^ In 1932, 13 teams of the 23-team Southern Conference split off to form the new Southeastern Conference .
^ In 1953, seven teams left the 16-team Southern Conference to form the Atlantic Coast Conference . The next year, fellow Southern Conference member Virginia also left the conference for the ACC.
^ Tech left the Southern Conference in 1965 for various financial and structural reasons. Tech wanted to schedule more large schools but was prevented from doing so by the Southern Conference schedule. In addition, The Hokies hoped to join the Atlantic Coast Conference.
^ In 1978, Tech joined the Metro Conference in all sports except football.
^ Although Virginia Tech accepted a bid to join the ACC in June 2003, it did not take effect until the 2004 season.
