Virginia Tech will face Alabama next year in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff. Expectations for the ACC in this game will probably be tempered, considering the 34-10 pounding Clemson took this season, but the ACC champs will no doubt be a better team after this year of growing pains. As to whether or not they will have improved enough to beat a young, 12-1 contender for the national championship? Let's not push it.
Alabama beat Clemson with 14 freshmen on its two-deep roster. Nick Saban's team will be better, too.
