Rankings from AP Poll

The 2007 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University during the 2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The team's head coach was Frank Beamer. Tech finished the season with an 11-3 record and won its second ACC football championship in its first four years in the league. The team jumped to as high as number 5 in the BCS football rankings and lost 24-21 in the 2008 Orange Bowl.

Tech lost an early season game to number 2 LSU in Death Valley 48-7 and then won five games in a row, jumping up to the eight spot in the Associated Press poll. In the following game, Tech held a 10-0 lead late in the fourth quarter before Matt Ryan led the Eagles to two touchdowns, aided by a recovered onside kick, and beat the home team 13-10. The Hokies then won four more straight games, including a battle with UVA for the Coastal Division title, before taking on Boston College for a rematch in the ACC Championship. Tech won the championship and earned a trip to the Orange Bowl.

The Hokies entered the season returning nine starters on offense and eight on defense, including All-American cornerback Brandon Flowers,[1] from a 2006 team that went 10-3 and finished second in the ACC's Coastal Division behind Georgia Tech.

After the April 16 shooting on the Virginia Tech campus claimed the lives of 32 students and faculty members, the remainder of spring practice was canceled. The Hokies had been scheduled to hold two more practices in addition to a spring game on Saturday following the Monday tragedy.[2] As a special tribute, ESPN's College GameDay program broadcast from Blacksburg for the Hokies' opening game against East Carolina.[3]
