9. Georgia Tech THIS WEEK: Miami
The Paul Johnson offense and style might have its detractors, but the thing works. Don’t get hung up on the close-call 42-38 win over Georgia Southern – that’s a dangerous team that’s playing well – and the 4-0 Yellow Jackets found a way to survive and get the job done against a pumped up Virginia Tech team on the road.
Why It’s Going To Happen: The schedule works out really, really well. Clemson is the one truly dangerous game from the Atlantic, and that’s a home game. There’s no Florida State to face – at least until a possible berth in the ACC title game – and there’s a chance for big-time credibility late in the year going to Georgia. If Tech can get to 11-0, it’ll be playing for the ACC title and the game against the Bulldogs won’t matter. Win the ACC championship and finish 12-1, and Johnson’s team is in.
Why It’s Not Going To Happen: The three-road-game-in-four-week stretch going to North Carolina, Pitt and NC State wrapped around a date with Virginia. This is a typical Johnson team, but the running attack isn’t quite as devastating as it needs to be and the defense can’t get off the field.
