I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Chan Gailey played not to lose, when his offense was designed to be "conservative" and rely on his defense to keep games close. Paul Johnson plays to win. That has been fortunate because our defense, for the most part, has been substandard. On the...

I was just reading an SI.com article, and they used, basically, a boxer analogy as to why FSU wouldn't want to play us in the ACCC: This next one won’t affect the committee’s opinion, but it could produce a less-than-ideal matchup for a contender. If North Carolina beats Duke on Thursday...

On the fringes: Duke’s loss to Virginia Tech cost the Blue Devils any shot at the playoff, and that already figured to be the case for Georgia Tech, too. But with the Yellow Jackets’ win over Clemson last week and a regular-season finale against SEC power Georgia, it could set up nicely for...

What began with 64 players has ended with Calvin Johnson. The former Georgia Tech wide receiver won the ACC Gridiron LIVE Greatest Player Tournament, beating Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechly in the final. www.foxsports.com/south/story/...urnament-111914

Florida State has played so many close games this season that it may seem silly to suggest it would have a cakewalk against any opponent in the ACC title game. But Georgia Tech, with its triple-option offense, would pose a greater threat to FSU than Duke would with only a week to prepare. And...

Justin didn't play the final Quarter against NC State so it's possible his numbers in THAT game (which are the lowest of the ones referenced) would have been several points higher. I'd be curious as to what Tim Byerly's are for that particular game as a point of reference.

-12.8 — Negative pass efficiency rating for Cole Stoudt in Clemson’s 22-point loss to Georgia Tech. Stoudt, playing in place of the injured Deshaun Watson, completed 3-of-11 passes for 19 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions. Two of those picks were returned for touchdowns by the...

• The Universe re: Clemson’s Offense: Clemson spent an entire month waiting for true-freshman quarterback Deshaun Watson to return from a hand injury, only to watch Watson go down again with an apparent knee injury in the first quarter of Saturday’s loss to Georgia Tech. With their phenom...

Georgia Tech leads FBS in interceptions returned for touchdowns with five. It’s another representation of the almost unfathomable run of playmaking that the Yellow Jackets have put together this season. Consider that Tech has its five touchdowns on 16 interceptions, 31.3 percent. I wouldn’t say...

@Fear_The_Talon: Reports say that Cole Stoudt had a stomach virus last night. Tried to throw up, but Georgia Tech intercepted it and ran it back for a TD

Despite its loss Saturday, Duke remains the most likely ACC Coastal champion (69 percent) because of its schedule and the head-to-head win over Georgia Tech on Oct. 11, but FPI projects Georgia Tech, which is ranked 11 spots ahead of Duke in the FPI rankings, would give the Seminoles a tougher...

#2 GEORGIA TECH YELLOW JACKETS 9-2 (6-2) Last week: Defeated Clemson Tigers 28-6 Last rank: 5 The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets proved once and for all to the world that they are not going anywhere under Paul Johnson. Not only has this team managed to stay relevant. It’s a great football team...

@Jeff_for_real: @BennettESPN @Matt_Fortuna Georgia Tech has punted 24 times in 11 games.

@DavidHaleESPN: #GaTech actually has the 7th-best scoring defense of any Power 5 team over the last month. Huge turnaround for the Jackets.

I'm reading this as giving US a slight chance to make the Playoffs...

10. No SEC? Big, big problem How it happens: Georgia loses to Georgia Tech but is still in the SEC title game after a Missouri loss. Ole Miss beats Mississippi State, and a three-loss Georgia wins the SEC championship. No SEC team finishes with fewer than two losses. Florida State goes 13-0 and...

- Virginia Tech 17, Duke 16. This did three key things. First, it ruined the dream of an 11-1 Duke winning the Coastal and getting its Buster Douglas-like shot at Florida State for the ACC championship for a playoff spot. The conference title is still on the table, but it won’t carry as much...

Just two weeks left in the regular season, and the conference's top performers are finishing strong. Here's a look at some of the key numbers from Week 12. ACC's top QB: Thomas or Winston? Georgia Tech QB Justin Thomas may be the biggest reason the Yellow Jackets appear so rejuvenated in...

The BCS Guru is guessing we'll be ranked 16 tomorrow and thinks we'll be playing in the Orange Bowl vs. Michigan State www.bcsguru.com/2014_cfp_standings.htm
