Is virgina tech that good?

i dont watch mutch college hoops but i do have virgina tech making it to elite 8 where they lose to UCLA. ive seen them play a few times and think they are very talented. everyone seems to disagree with me though about VT making it that far. some people even said they wouldnt even make it past the first round (which we all know they did). so what do you think about their chances making a good run in the tournament?
