Georgia Tech Bowl Projections

Dont most teams have 2 byes then? I’m assuming your talking about August 30th being the start date, do many teams even play then? Personally, I don’t count that as a bye if that’s the case.

It will depend on the ACC and how they schedule.....teams could have a first week "bye" The SEC will schedule a bye week before their cupcake game immediately before Rivalry week.

Go back to the link and click on the Georgie boodawg helmet. I'm sure it will show a typical sec schedule.

Hey, at least they play 7 straight SEC games (with 2 byes in between) but the hardest stretch is right before they play us, so I like that. When does the ACC come out with their schedule. Is the SEC schedule always out this early?

Yes, the sec comes out in September. Being a basketball conference head quartered in NawKerliner, the ACC should be available the end of January.

Have no idea why the ACC drags its feet WRT scheduling.....B10, Pac, Big 12 and SEC all have complete schedules.

Quinlan has been reporting for a while that we will open vs uva in Charlottesville. Could be Clemson too, I suppose but they may play BC.

I would rather have GT open against Virginia than Clemson

Not knowing when we play most teams I like our open week to be week 5,6, or 7 in order the let the players rest and heal their minor injuries. 2 open dates would be great would like one before the Duke game.

Our last two against them have gone down to the wire, so I think it is an attractive matchup for the ACC network.

Last I checked, GT, UVA, Clemson, BC and Pitt were all open week 1 of 2019. Pitt and BC are crossover opponents next year. If something doesn't change, someone is getting a week 1 bye next year.

Is Perkins back next year??? If so, we need to spend the entire fall getting ready for him. Lol

Yeah, he is a Junior, I think. It is going to be a tough game whichever week it is.

Why are writers still predicting tier 2 bowls? Lazy? Are we not guaranteed tier 1?

I don't believe that we are. Unless I misunderstand something.

GT is guaranteed nothing yet

No guarantees. The bowls are not required to choose by order of conference standings.

Ok, thanks

The only guarantee is Pitt cannot fall below the Tier One bowls due to their Coastal title.

In what alternative universe does anyone envision the Bulldawgs curb stomping Alabama. The reverse is the much more likely scenario. I have not seen anyone even challenge Alabama this season. Even the vaunted LSU tigers who whipped the Dawgs arse could not even score on Alabama at home in a game they knew was for all the marbles. Bama will dominate Auburn, Georgia and whoever the next two sacrificial lambs the CFP committee puts in front of them. Might as well go ahead and engrave ALABAMA on the big trophy.

Go Jackets!

PS - Whatever Bowl game we go to, I just hope our team takes it serious and prepares to win it. We use to take pride in winning bowl games. Not so sure that is the case any more.

I have a feeling Alabama will toy with Clemson as well
