I agree. It depends on how one looks at it.
I guess its all about perspective and variables involved. One key variable with the 10 win season was Coach Fuente and Evans. But, one can argue that with VT averaging about 6-6 for 4 years in a row, you can see where the near past predicted the near future 3-4 times in a row before being wrong in 2016 season. That's a total of 4 rights and 1 wrong; therefore, the near past does at least have a huge impact on the near future. There's always exceptions, exclusions, outliers, but it holds true more times than not, even in the case of VT going 6-6 for 4 years in a row, then having the 10 win season.
Think of it this way, it is rare for any college football team, lets say over a 10 year period to go..
10-2, then 3-9, then 8-3, then 2-9, then 11-1, then 3-9 then 8-4, then 4-8, etc. It's much more uncommon to see wide swings like that over a substantial period of time. [Post edited by OakIslandNCHokie at 08/16/2017 8:58PM]
