9. vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (Sept. 18)

There are mixed opinions on what is happening down in Georgia Tech and if that program is heading in the right direction under Geoff Collins.

There are good signs at times- like QB Jeff Simms- but there are also a lot of bad signs. The Yellow Jackets are still set to have one of the worst defenses in the league and the last time I checked, they’re still lifting weights on the sideline during pregame, which obviously seems to be helping a lot.

Georgia Tech is set to be at the bottom of the ACC Coastal Division this year, likely competing with Duke for last place, and this is a home game.

We believe that the Yellow Jackets will take a slight step forward and be a bit tougher of an opponent than Syracuse- though that can certainly be debated- but that still won’t lead to much of a fight.
