A long and storied series, though one that is in and out of yearly relevance now that we’ve got two division in the conference, Tech gets a rare chance to host North Carolina State this week on the Flats. The Jackets last faced off against NC State in 2014 on the road in Raleigh. Things looked mighty different back then.
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 North Carolina State in 2019.
