College Gameday Gave Their ACC Championship Game Prediction

Georgia Tech’s magical run continues to capture national attention. Ranked No. 7 in last week’s AP Poll and sitting at 7–0 for the first time since 1966, the Yellow Jackets are proving that their hot start is no fluke.

This week, Georgia Tech looks to keep the momentum rolling and move to 8–0, and the national media is starting to take serious notice. Last week on ESPN’s College GameDay, every analyst — picked Georgia Tech to beat Duke. That kind of unanimous confidence shows how far this program has come under Brent Key.

This morning Desmond Howard even went a step further, saying he likes Georgia Tech to reach the ACC Championship Game. Meanwhile, Nick Saban added fuel to the discussion, suggesting that Miami could face either Georgia Tech, Virginia, or SMU for the conference crown. Putting Tech firmly in the playoff conversation.

For a program that was once overlooked, this moment feels different. Georgia Tech is balanced, resilient, and confident. The offense continues to find ways to win, and the defense has delivered in clutch moments all season.

Playoff Hopes

Now, with the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff, the Jackets are positioning themselves for a legitimate postseason run.

This isn’t just a hot streak, it is a statement. Georgia Tech is back on the national stage, and with every win, their playoff dreams feel more and more real. The Yellow Jackets host Syracuse today at noon. In a ACC matchup during homecoming weekend. The game will start at noon, on the ACC Network.
