The end is near for Virginia football coach Al Groh.

After nine seasons of leading the Cavaliers, it's widely expected that Groh will be fired at the end of the season.

But before Virginia (3-8, 2-5 ACC) bids adieu to Groh, it must host archrival Virginia Tech (8-3, 5-2) on Saturday in the season finale. Groh has declined to address his job status.

"It's not really about me," the embattled coach said. "It's about the team and it's about the players. You know, that's all I'm really thinking about, so I don't really have any thoughts on it."

The Cavaliers will wrap up their third losing season in four years. Groh has also failed to beat Virginia Tech in his career.

This was why C.J. Spiller came back to Clemson. The Tigers' star senior awaited a Virginia punt in the fourth quarter with Clemson's 34-21 victory all but secure when the 77,000 at Death Valley broke into chants of his name over and over. "One of the referees came over and told me he got chills," a smiling Spiller said Saturday.

Clemson didn't look much like a team that would be in contention for a BCS berth as of early October.

Dave Shinskie's 1-yard sneak on fourth down gave Boston College the lead and the Eagles handed Virginia its fourth straight loss Saturday, 14-10. The Eagles (7-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) kept their hopes alive to win the ACC's Atlantic Division thanks to a 70-yard fourth-quarter drive that included two fourth-down conversions.
