How to read this table

Win chances are our model for Georgia Tech, through 8 games. This week's game comes from the playoff simulation, later games from the rating model. They are estimates and move every week.

The small line beside each score is the team's win chance through the game, drawn on one scale for every game. The small number is total plays.

Line is the closing point spread for Georgia Tech: a minus number means favored. A green check means the team covered it, by the number beside it. A red cross means it fell short by that much.

What fans said

Georgia Tech fans

r/CFB

“Game was only as close as it was because Pitt called 32 pass plays instead of continuing to run for > 5 ypc against the worst rush defense in the country”

r/CFB

“Listen, I know our expectations were low for this game. But this is inexcusable. Signing key to a long term contract leaves us stuck in the mud.”
