The Big East did not crown an official champion until 1993 when full league play began. Rankings from AP Poll

The 1992 Virginia Tech Hokies football team represented Virginia Tech (formally the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University) as a member of the Big East Conference during the 1992 NCAA Division I-A football season. Led by sixth-year head coach Frank Beamer, the Hokies compiled an overall record of 2–8–1, with a mark of 1–4 in conference play, and finished third in the Big East. Virginia Tech played home games at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg, Virginia.

This would prove to be the last Hokies team not to play in a bowl game until 2020, as Virginia Tech would play in a bowl game for 27 consecutive seasons, from 1993 through 2019.^[1]
