6.  @ Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Many wouldn’t have Georgia Tech this high.

However, when I look at the Yellow Jackets, I think they will finish second in the ACC Coastal and compete for that division.

That’s just what they tend to do after having an atrocious year, like they did in 2017.

Georgia Tech will be led by quarterback TaQuon Marshall and B-back KirVonte Benson. Brent Venables knows how to stop that Yellow Jacket option, though, so a win will rest on the offense putting up just a few points.

This game is on the road which may make it a bit more difficult, but the Tigers should have plenty of experience to shut down that option attack.
