Welcome to From the Rumble Seat’s weekly historical matchup lecture. Throughout the season, each unit in this class will examine the head-to-head matchups of our opponents in the 2018 season. This week we welcome the polite and well-mannered Virginia Cavaliers to the Flats.
The typical Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets regular season schedule went to twelve games per season for good in 2006, after varying between eleven and twelve since 2001. In the prototypical season, Tech plays eight Atlantic Coast Conference games, with six coming against the other Coastal Division teams of Pittsburgh, Virginia, VPISU, Duke, Miami, and North Carolina, and two against teams from the Atlantic Division, featuring permanent rival Clemson and a rotating opponent from amongst the other six teams, which is Louisville in 2018.
