How They Play · 2025Georgia Tech fields an elite methodical, ball-control offense behind a porous defense.
Percentile vs all FBS, based on this season's per-game production. Bar = where this team ranks — right is better.
Georgia Tech reads strongest in success rate (top 6%) and passing epa (top 9%); the crux lives in explosive plays, where Georgia Tech sits at the 11th percentile.

Home-field advantage · Georgia Tech · 2018–present · FBS opponents
Georgia Tech has had no measurable home edge — −0.3 points, home against road.
No measurable home edge, 1st percentile of 133 programs
44% at home, 41% away against FBS opponents since 2018 (19–24 home, 17–24 away). Interval ±4.2.
Our model gives every stadium the same flat 2.3-point home edge — per-team modelling was tested and did not survive scrutiny (why) — and the books use about 3. Against the closing line, Georgia Tech has beaten the number by 10.0 points less at home than away over 68 games — outside the ±6.6 that many games can resolve. This is one of the few buildings where the results say something the flat number does not.
Bobby Dodd Stadium seats 55,000 and has averaged 74% full (40,476, 24 games reported). Visitors cover a median 351 miles to get here since 2018 — 53rd-shortest of 135 FBS venues, inside the ordinary range. For the home side it is genuinely home ground: 51% of the 2026 roster (56 of 109 located players) grew up inside 100 miles of the stadium.
Edge = half the gap between average home margin and average road margin, FBS opponents only, non-neutral games since 2018; the interval is 95%. Market line: closing spread, seasons with lines on file. Trip length is straight-line miles from the visiting team's campus to the venue, measured across all 49 home games since 2018.

Fourth-quarter reliability, corrected
Georgia Tech's 4th-quarter offense, before and after garbage time
Raw Q4 EPA/play ranks 39th percentile in FBS. Strip out snaps taken with a blowout margin and it drops to the 25th — the correction is the finding, not a footnote.
Standard downs vs. passing downs
Does Georgia Tech hold up once the down-and-distance turns against them?
58th percentile success on standard downs, 44th on passing downs — little dropoff between the two — a schedule-independent identity.
