Georgia Tech Bowl Projections

[MikeJackets1967]

That is great I looked on the map but can't find it, what state is somewhere in so I can make plans.

The Bahamas Bowl would be great Nassau is awesome in late December

That's strange. I found it located between the states of Despair and Euphoria. (The typical season of a GT football fan)

The Orlando Sentinel predicts Georgia Tech will play Michigan State in the Pinstripe Bowl

If I can’t have Detroit please for the love of Calvin Johnson let this happen!! Most of my friends are MSU fans and if love to watch as we run it up Spartys ***. I told them they got Lucky in 2014.

Went back through this thread and compiled a list just to see if I could get a sense of where we may end up.

Came to the conclusion that @jwsavhGT probably has the most reliable prediction at this point. A close second goes to @MikeJackets1967 . Pretty sure he's nailed the correct bowl.

Most commonly guessed location: Music City (5) *but 4 of them are from Mike

Runner-up: tie between Military and Pinstripe (4)​

Most commonly guessed opponent: Cincinnati (3)

My prediction is that we will see it start to narrow down a bit Sunday morning.

I could get jazzed up for a game vs Michigan State.

Not as much as me!!!!!

If we beat UVA and uGA we could get Camping World, but probably in tier 2 of Gator/Sun/Pinstripe/MusicCity/Belk...beat UVA and lost the other one we're probably in that same tier 2...lose both and we're looking at Gasparilla/Millitary/QuickLane

Gator Pinstripe etc are Tier 1.
Even if we win out, doubt we make the camper bowl. They get the first selection after the playoffs. Cuse or Pitt, depending on how they finish will be a higher prize.

8-4 with a win over a top 5 team would make us a top 17-22 team most likely. Idk that either of them will be there, but regardless just beat UVA Saturday and let it play out.

It is not just the record... there is also the fan base willing to travel. I would bet that Cuse would bring far more to MCO than Tech would.

Maybe so, I don't know anything about their football fan base. Orlando is much further from NY than Atlanta but I'm sure they have more alumni, and probably a lot of snowbirds in Orlando from NY.

Hey, I mentioned the music city twice so you can add an extra count to that.

So a home game

I think central Florida is one of our top 5 alumni centers outside of Atlanta. I definitely see more Tech fans going to Orlando than NY, but who knows.

Yes and no. If we finish 8-4, we’ll be ranked around #20. We’ll be getting votes if we beat Virginia. Beating Virginia means winning 6 of last 7. Beating Georgia is 7 of last 8 and a top 5 team. But unless the bowl is locally, we’ll probably get passed up by a few people.

By the way, there is still a chance that 5-3 in the ACC finishes tied for 2nd behind only Clemson. If we beat Virginia and finish tied for 2nd, 3rd, or 4th, it’s going to be hard for several bowl games with ACC tie-ins to keep skipping us.

Jerry Palm of CBS Sports picked Virginia to beat GT by 6 1/2 so that means GT will win

Nobody cares about playing N. Illinois, that just sucks...bigly

If Northern Illinois wins on Saturday they finish the 2018 regular season 8-4

My goodness. Dare I allow myself to dream about beating UGA? UVA first but man how good would it be to beat UGA. It’s amazing how much their fans are overlooking us all focused on Bama and Tua’s knee. We could end their playoff talk if we beat them.

Well, allow yourself hope, but certainly not expect! First things first, though.

CBS Sports and ESPN would hyperventilate if GT beat UGAG in Cesspool Stadium once again
