Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia Tech’s profile makes clear why the projection points toward needing the automatic bid: their best moment is the road win at NC State but the rest of the nonconference resume is built on victories over low‑end opponents and neutral‑site setbacks to DePaul and Drake, while league play has been marred by damaging losses at Duke, at Miami and on the west‑coast swing at California and Stanford. The worst stretches include lopsided defeats at Virginia and at Louisville and a loss at Notre Dame that together undo any narrative of consistent quality, and the Jackets have not put together the kind of road and neutral wins that committees prize. That leaves the remaining trip to Clemson as a last chance to change the conversation, but unless that result flips the resume their most realistic path into the NCAA field runs through winning the ACC tournament.
