2. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
Georgia Tech was the “hottest team in the land” at the end of the season last year. The Yellow Jackets defeated Clemson, without Deshaun Watson, in Atlanta to become one of Clemson’s three losses on the season. Georgia Tech will lose five of its top seven rushers from a year ago, but still return quarterback Justin Thomas, which give the Jackets an upper-hand on the rest of the Coastal Division this season.
The Yellow Jackets will hope to beat Clemson in Death Valley for the first time since 2008 when they travel to Clemson on October 10. Georgia Tech is most definitely one of the most talented teams the Tigers will face this season and Clemson must find a way to win at home when they host the Ramblin’ Wreck.
