The internets are full of useless information. I'm just doing my part to perpetuate the epidemic. For your analytical consumption... a full range of opinions on bowl projections follows....before Week 1 is even in the books.

To summarize.. none of these predicts Tech to be left out of the bowl schedule. None predicts them to rise to top tier (my word) or National Championship Semis. And each of these predicts Tech to end up in a different bowl game. All agree, Tech is middle of the pack in the ACC.

GO JACKETS!

Wow. Really hard question. We could go 6-6 and play in the Military Bowl, we could go 9-3 and play in the Citrus. I see that and every bowl in between. It all comes down to how well the new QB executes and limits turnovers. Plus, I really do expect the D to be better. If the D shows no improvement, I think CTR will be a name of the past. Piled up with the rest of the bad DC history for us. But, the players are set and we have returned a good many, so youth should not be a reason why we fail to get teams off the field. As a prediction? I say 7-5 and we play in the Music City. That sounds just about correct.

Injuries too are huge, and we already have Marshall and Lynch--two of our best, most experienced players--out. Some luck with the injury bug, some good bounces and calls, and yeah I could see 9 or even 10 wins if the D can improve and the O plays as expected.

But weird stuff can happen and some good teams can end up at 6-6, 7-5, etc. I do like our depth this year and I feel we may surprise.
