Projection: need to automatically qualify
Georgia Tech is off to a rocky start with just one win and two notable losses against Georgia and North Florida, highlighting defensive vulnerabilities, particularly against higher-caliber offenses. The team will need to capitalize on favorable matchups, like their games against Charleston Southern and Cent Arkansas, to build momentum. However, tougher opponents are waiting, with key games against Cincinnati, North Carolina, and Duke, where they face steep uphill battles. Their defensive weaknesses must be addressed immediately if they’re to make any noise in the conference, as their chances against better teams appear slim. A win against one of these stronger opponents could significantly boost their standing, but with their current trajectory, they’re facing an uphill battle for a tournament spot.
