Virginia Tech vs. SMU prediction, odds, time: Week 10 Friday college football picks from proven model

An ACC title elimination game highlights Friday night college football action, as the SMU Mustangs host the Virginia Tech Hokies. Both the Mustangs (6-2, 4-2) and Hokies (6-2, 3-2) sit with two conference losses. A third would all but eliminate the loser from ACC Championship Game contention behind Miami (6-0) and Wake Forest (5-1). The Hokies, led by first-year coach James Franklin, return from a bye after a gritty 20-16 win at Clemson. SMU, coming off a 30-27 road loss at Syracuse, is 5-0 at home. Visit our Kalshi promo code review and get a $55 bonus after $25+ in trades with the Kalshi promo code CBSSPORTS55:
