It's one of the most asked questions by college football fans and media members: Is (insert lagging program name here) "back?" – as in back to being one of the elite program it once was.

This week, Blacksburg, Va., is again the site of a possible "they're back" game as No. 9 Miami faces No. 11 Virginia Tech.

The Hurricanes (2-0) have already beaten two teams (Florida State and Georgia Tech) ranked in the preseason and cracked the top 10 of the AP poll for the first time since 2005.
