Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia Tech's projection as likely out is rooted in a resume that offers a single clear road statement win and too many damaging defeats. The victory at NC State stands out, and the close outing at Duke showed the program can compete, but neutral-site losses to DePaul and Drake and a bad home setback to Pittsburgh have erased momentum from the nonconference slate. The offense has been uneven and the defense has kept them in games rather than producing signature wins, so losses at Miami and at Georgia feel heavy for a team chasing résumé credit. The remaining schedule hands them several real opportunities to flip the script — road tests at California and Stanford, trips to Clemson and Notre Dame, and home chances against Wake Forest and Florida State plus matchups with Virginia and North Carolina — but they need road or neutral victories over quality opponents to convince the selection committee.
