Georgia Tech still hoping they can make ACC title game

[GlennW]

ATLANTA (TNS) — With nine regular-season games down and three to play, Georgia Tech is where many figured the Yellow Jackets wouldn’t be — still alive in their pursuit of the ACC Coastal Division title.

As such, Tech is not entertaining bowl-projection talk.

My preference would be to win the league championship and play in the Orange Bowl,” coach Paul Johnson said.

With two more ACC games plus the Georgia game, Tech’s postseason future is far from clear. However, there is at least one certainty regarding Tech’s path to a spot in the ACC title game in Charlotte, N.C., on Dec. 6. To get there, the Jackets need division-leading Duke to lose two more games and finish with a 5-3 record in the conference.

I'm hoping Duke's luck runs out. I believe they can lose 2 more!

All we can do is win and hope for the best. I've accepted that they may win the division. We blew our chance by losing to them straight up.

I will be exited if we finish 10-2, regardless of Duke. If that were to happen, we would be in the Orange if FSU wins out.

Let's just beat ncst. We may be getting ahead of ourselves.

Our team wont let another Duke game happen this season. They know what it takes to win and if its physically possible... they will make it happen. Plus we have played extremely well on tge road this season. Hope we keep that trend going

I will be excited with anything over 8 wins. Duke beat us (we beat ourselves along with the refs ; )

A win over Clemson or UGA this year would be almost as good as playing in the ACC championship game.

…and a win over Clemson and UGA this year would be better than playing in the ACC championship game!

Go Jackets!

I put the percentage on Duke losing 2 at about 40%, but that is better than 1%. It will have to be VT and UNC....I just don't think Cuse or Wake can do it.

UNC can outscore them, and VT can make it an ugly game that they win.

Go Jackets!

And a win over both with a trip to the ACCCG trumps them all! Let's just win them all and see where everything shakes out. I still have hope Duke will drop 2 more...UNC should and VT can still find a bit of magic, at least for one game. The Hokies have a bye this week, let's hope they come out like gangbusters next week!

The Hokies have a bye this week, let's hope they come out like gangbusters next week!

But all three will not happen. I agree, forego the ACCCG and beat the mutts and the taters, and then take whatever bowl is bestowed upon us.

Duke's thinking about the playoff. They choke this weekend. They then lose the next two to VPI and UNC.

 

[UgaBlows]

a win over ugag is better than ANYTHING.
