MIAMI (AP) -The Orange Bowl will be a matchup of turnaround teams – Stanford vs. Virginia Tech.
Stanford earned a bid Sunday to face the Hokies in the BCS bowl on Jan. 3. The berth caps a remarkable resurgence for the fifth-ranked Cardinal, who have gone from 1-11 to 11-1 in four years.
Virginia Tech is on the rise, too. After stumbling at the start this season, the Hokies (11-2) have won 11 consecutive games, including a 44-33 victory Saturday over Florida State for their third Atlantic Coast Conference title in four years.
Under the BCS format, the ACC winner earns a spot in the Orange Bowl. But until Sunday night, it was uncertain where Stanford was headed.
