Georgia Tech’s Bowl Projections After Championship Weekend
The fate of Georgia Tech and other ACC schools heavily depends on the outcomes of the playoffs. Key questions emerge: Will Miami secure an at-large bid? Can Duke join the mix over James Madison? Additionally, Notre Dame could influence the bowl landscape, as they are also eligible for ACC opportunities.
Current Projections for Georgia Tech
Multiple outlets have shared their predictions for Georgia Tech’s bowl game placements:
- ESPN: Analysts Mark Schlabach and Kyle Bonagura project that Georgia Tech will compete in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Bonagura suggests a matchup against Troy, while Schlabach predicts a game against Virginia, making an all-ACC bowl matchup possible.
