Latest Bowl projections for the Yellow Jackets following their win over Miami

When we discussed bowl projections earlier, Georgia Tech was not yet eligible for postseason play. After upsetting No. 4 Miami and ending the Hurricanes’ perfect season, the Yellow Jackets have now clinched a spot in a bowl game. This will be the second straight season Georgia Tech has gone to a bowl game, the first time since 2013-14. After this weekend, bowl projections have added significance to Georgia Tech.

Georgia Tech has a chance to improve their bowl fortunes over the final two games of the season. There is a scenario where Georgia Tech finishes 8-4 and gets one of the better bowl bids in the ACC. They could split their last two games and finish 7-5, or they could lose to both NC State and Georgia and finish 6-6. The middle of the ACC is cluttered right now and that makes it difficult to really pinpoint where Georgia Tech will play when bowl season rolls around.

Let’s take a look at the latest projections for the Yellow Jackets.

Bee ESPNthere are a few different projections. Analyst Kyle Bonagura has Georgia Tech going to the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium and facing Wisconsin. The Badgers and the Yellow Jackets have never faced each other on the football field. Mark Schlabach has the Yellow Jackets playing in another baseball stadium for their bowl game. Schlabach has Georgia Tech in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl against Tulane. Tulane is a very good team that nearly upset Kansas State and Oklahoma and is now ranked No. 25 in the AP Poll. Georgia Tech leads the all-time series between the two programs 37-13 and has won three in a row against the Green Wave. The last meeting between the two programs took place in 2015 in Atlanta, a game that Georgia Tech won 65-10.

Bee 247SportsBrad Crawford is expected to play the Yellow Jackets in the Military Bowl vs Navy, who went 7-2 last weekend and have a huge game against Tulane this weekend. This would be the 26th all-time meeting between the two programs, with Georgia Tech leading the series 16-9. They have not met since 2001.

There at the Action networkCollege Football Insider Brett McMurphy has Georgia Tech going to El Paso to play in the Sun Bowl vs USC. Yellow Jackets fans will remember facing the Trojans in the Sun Bowl in 2012, a game that Georgia Tech won 21-7. It would be the fifth meeting of all time between the two teams.

The bowl projections are all over the place for Georgia Tech and the final two games will decide a lot for this program and their postseason destination.
