Actually the UVA game is pretty meaningless, particularly if Duke beats GT the following week. I get "finishing the job," but the goal was the ACC Coastal and we took a huge step in the right direction last week beating VT, which was the biggest game of Al's coaching career. This UVA game has nothing on the VT game.
It is not meaningless, this is a team that has beat us the last few years. They also did well against us the last game in the OB. While it MAY not be as important, it is quite meaningful.
We need to win games, we need to keep winning games even if they are "meaningless." If we beat UVA and lose to Duke (if they lose to Clemson) then we can get it but we need to give it all in these remaining games. They are certainty not "meaningless."
The most meaningless game is USF, that has no effect on the ACC (maybe a tiny bit on recruiting) but is certainty not meaningless.
Going from 6 regular season wins, to 8 is a big jump. It is also twice as many as some journalist predicted, to get to 8 we need to beat everyone. Would be cool to go out winning our last 4 games in the regular season too.
