2017 Bowl Projections

[MikeJackets1967]

They played against Indiana State.

GT should schedule the Sycamores at some future date

They use too. If it wasn't for Indiana State in 1987 Tech would have probably had one win that season (sorry to bring up a bad memory, I was fortunate to not be alive yet).

The 1987-1988 seasons were about as bad as the 1980-1981 seasons.

To give a great example of the spread of bowls. Bonagura has us going to the Quick Lane Bowl, Hale has us in the Sun Bowl. Yeah... Pretty darn broad spectrum there.

The 1987-1988 seasons were about as bad as the 1980-1981 seasons.

I know 1987 was 2-9 with the victories being against The Citadel and Indiana State and 1988 was 3-8 with victories over VMI, South Carolina and Chattanooga.

I don't know, I imagine 1980-1981 would have been more depressing, just my guess.

1980 was 1-9-1 with the win being against Memphis 17-8 and a 3-3 tie with #1 Notre Dame and the only win in a 1-10 1981 season was a 24-21 win over #1 Alabama.

He is the biggest issue. GT HAS the talent, in place, to win the rest of the game (minus Clem and son).. But, we HAVE the talent. Question is, can we stop shooting ourselves in the foot? Fumbles, stupid, missed blocks, penalties, get some penalties (that aren't being called) and make better reads (both O and D). I think we can give Clem and son a run for their money. Their O isn't as potent. So, with that... It is really hard to guess which bowl we are going to. We can honestly go anywhere from the Peach Bowl, to the Military Bowl. It really depends on how well we minimize the errors. I think, we as fans, see the potential. I sure as heck do.

 

[Stray Dog THA GAWD]

A match with a 10-2 Ohio State team or a 10-3 Tennessee team in a rematch would be interesting.

I'd love a game vs OSU.

Here's the latest bowl predictions from College Sports Madness. They have GT playing Maryland in the Quick Lane Bowl in Detroit

I don't know where we'll end up, but if any NC team has at least six wins (looks Wake is the best bet at present, doesn't it?), we'll never get a Belk Bowl bid. I'm guessing Music City if we have at least 7 wins and (yes) Sun if we have 8. They like Tech in El Paso.

I think both Wake Forest and NCSU both win 7 games while Duke has a chance to win 8.

Don 't care about Maryland and don't care about Detroit ( Apologies to the ones who are from there)

I live in Flint, which is worse than Detroit but trust me there is a lot to do in Detroit. Great restaurants, 3 huge casinos, adult entertainment and adult entertainment.

Wow.... We didn't even play and they put us down to the Military Bowl.

Rather interesting...

I'm hoping that this will be a similar season to 2014 and GT winds up in the Citrus Bowl against Mississippi State or Auburn. I'd be happy also to see a Taxslayer Bowl matchup between a 9-4 GT team and a 9-3 Tennessee team.

I'd love a game vs OSU.

No, I don't think you really would.

 

[MikeJackets1967]

No, I don't think you really would.

OSU will right their ship and probably be 11-1 and go to the Playoffs once again.

I was not aware that five win teams get bowl invitations now.
