We get UVA, BC, and Wake Forest this season. 3 of the worst teams in the conference. If we don’t make it to Charlotte, it’s assuredly our fault and nothing to do with the schedule makers. The permanent game with Clemson definitely sucks though. If you pencil that in as an auto loss, you more than likely need to win every remaining game to make the championship. No margin for error.ACC Strength of Schedules - once again GT with the hardest.

Honestly I don’t see it as an auto loss at all. I don’t see their QB troubles vanishing. They should have taken a transfer stud but are too stubborn. Much happier we aren’t playing Florida state every year. I think they’re about to be the real deal for multiple seasons.We get UVA, BC, and Wake Forest this season. 3 of the worst teams in the conference.

Until Clemson fixes their QB problems I believe they’re beatable. I’m seeing 4 or 5 games we’ve got a very good chance to win with a few that’s a toss up. Get me one win over Miami , Georgia, Mississippi or Clemson and this will be a very good season for the Yellow Jackets. I know Georgia is an uphill battle but the other 3 we can find a win. Folks, this is a different coaching staff get out of your mind what’s went on when Geoff Collins was here that dude was a freaking disaster for Ga Tech Football. I know the dude tried but let’s keep this real..he stunk up the sidelines. Good days are ahead just wait and see baby.Honestly I don’t see it as an auto loss at all.

I don't have the same passion for the game as I did in my younger days (and I suspect that is true for most of us in our "autumn" or "winter" years) but I have always said that when the day comes that I am not optimistic going into summer/preseason camp, that will be the day that I finally step off the merry go round for good. I am excited for the upcoming season as I have been for every season since I was a rat. Thank goodness.I always get optimistic this time of year so I try and temper it a little but I think we got a really good staff, enough good players that fit what they are trying to do.
I am not short term bullish on this team, but I believe things are headed in the right direction. So many mistakes have been made over the last 20 years.
We would have been better off keeping Gailey and making him hire a qualified OC--and not Pat Nix, who is now a HS coach. Homer Rice would have done that, and there is precedent for it. But Radakovich wanted to hire his own guy--which he didn't get to do anyway.
Then we hire Collins but don't give him the money to hire the staff he wants to hire. We get to pay him for almost 4 years to not coach, and have to pay more to get a better staff anyway.
Hopefully, Cabrera and J. Batt are a new day for the GTAA. Again, "hopefully", but hope is better than hopelessness.

Andy said “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.”
Shawshank Redemption. I'll go with Andy on this one.
My epiphany when TFG got the boot:Because of hope, Andy crawled through 500 yards of foul smelling awfulness similar to what Tech fans have suffered thru 3.3 years of TFG. Feels like we escaped that sewer pipe last year and now just have to collect all the dirty spoils before heading to the sandy beaches of Zihuatenejo.
Sorry, I’ve watched Shawshank way more than any human should.
Hooville is and will remain a house of horrors for GT. Payback for 1990. Seen too many WTF games there to ever be confident for that WUVA is going to be horrible this year. I have pretty realistic expectations for GT this year, but I feel pretty confident that this will be a win for us no matter where the game is played. I've got us as 1 pt favorites on the road for my lookaheads.
I remember that game. We kicked a FG to get the win. Virginia was ranked #1 if I remember correctly.Hooville is and will remain a house of horrors for GT. Payback for 1990. Seen too many WTF games there to ever be confident for that W
BC: A nonconference slate of Army, UConn, NIU and Holy Cross give Jeff Hafley a great chance of a return to bowl eligibility. The Eagles also avoid Clemson and get a pair of comparable conference opponents (Virginia, Virginia Tech) at home.ACC Strength of Schedules - once again GT with the hardest.

We should try and book a home and home with Northwestern as our P5 nonconf. Nerd bowl plus Chicago is fun.I hope that ADJB understands the need lighten our non-conference schedule as much as possible given that we have Clemson and UGA as perennial foes.
There is no way FSU is beating Clemson this year. Clemson’s sole issue was the QB position. Klubnik is for real and will shred the ACC with Riley calling the shots. It’s just wishful thinking that Clemson’s run is over. They are just reloading and Norvell is a joke of a coach so FSU is very limited from the coaching side which we have experience with.
That depends on what your goal is. If you want to be bowl eligible and go to a low level bowl, then a week non-conference schedule helps. If you want a shot at the playoffs, you need more.BC: A nonconference slate of Army, UConn, NIU and Holy Cross give Jeff Hafley a great chance of a return to bowl eligibility.
