[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 421507, member: 2843"] With 27 wins, Ga Tech has matched its win total from 2017 with at least 10 games remaining (8 regular season plus at least 2 ACCT games). Last year, the final strength of schedule (Warren Nolan) was 30th. It is pretty safe to say this season SOS will be top 20... probably top 15 (currently #12). The ACC win total (11) also matches 2017's total with 6 ACC games remaining. This is improvement... thank goodness! A backslide would have been excruciating. Along the "finishing strong" theme... the time is now. Frankly, there was only one time this season where the team showed the ability to string together quality play and get "strong" results. It was the 9 game stretch in late March/early April where team was 7-2 that included the sweep of Mia and the big series win v FSU. Both of those series were at home. The rest of the season it was a pattern of wins here and there... with too many road losses scattered in. So.. in order to really finish strong these last 8 games, the team will have to do something it has not managed to do all year... 1) Beat UGA 2) Win a road series (at UVA) 3) Win a series over a top 4 team in the ACC (Duke). Ga Tech's record v the top 3 (UNC, NCST, Clem) is an underwhelming 1-8. Small caveat... schedulers did us no favors, did they? We had to play all those elite ACC teams on the road. At least Duke has to come to Russ Chandler. [/QUOTE]
