Generally, the very best times in our lives are the ones where everything is peaking at once. Maybe that means success in the classroom or at work (good grades, graduation, a promotion), alongside success in one's personal life (engagement/marriage, birth of a child, new house), and maybe even success in one's personal time (great round of golf, invitation to an exclusive club, winning an election). That said, a lot of good times are had without the entirety of the picture being particularly great.
The same is true for Georgia Tech's football program right now.
Last year, the pieces were in place on offense and in the schedule for Georgia Tech to participate in the first-ever College Football Playoff.
