When it comes to the college football season, every game is important, but there are often dates that tend to stick out from the rest on the schedule.

Toe meets leather the the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets in a little over two months, and this year’s slate has some interesting matchups.

If the Jackets hope to build upon the big rebound the 2016 squad pulled off, Tech will need to get past a few obvious roadblocks in their upcoming slate.

Last year the Ramblin’ Wreck opened up on foreign soil, diving right into Atlantic Coast Conference action in a close win over Boston College in Dublin. The 2017 schedule will also be throwing Paul Johnson’s team right into the fire.
