As we close in on the beginning of the season, we’ve already talked about each of the teams that the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be playing this season. Now, the members of the staff will be giving their best-, worst-, and likely-case scenarios for the upcoming season. We start today with the best-case scenarios!
With the most gold-tinted of glasses on, I think the Jackets will go 11-1 in the regular season, winning the Coastal but taking a loss to Clemson along the way. To go through the games real fast: Alcorn State is dispatched with little concern; South Florida can’t put it together on offense without Quinton Flowers; Tech stomps a middling Pittsburgh, but can’t overcome the talent disparity versus Clemson; Bowling Green is expectedly a snooze-fest; losing Lamar Jackson is too much for Louisville; Cutcliffe and the Blue Devils mismanage a tough close game; Justin Fuente and VPISU still can’t figure out the flexbone in year 3; Larry Fedora and UNC are still rebuilding; a few bounces don’t go Miami’s way on the Flats; and Virginia actually really only has 27 ACC-caliber players on its roster and rolls over.
