From CFBNumbers’ College Football Analytics Newsletter:
Based on both out of conference and conference opponents, this is how an average preseason strength of schedule has looked in the CFB playoff era. At the top rests Georgia Tech, who have struggled to find footing in their post Paul Johnson era. The Yellow Jackets have gone 14-32 since 2019, largely in part due to having difficult schedules. While the ACC isn’t the toughest conference in the P5, a mixture of ACC teams with high expectations (UNC/Miami/FSU etc.), hard out of conference opponents (Notre Dame/Tennessee/Ole Miss/UCF etc.) and then oh, Georgia and Clemson every season is a gauntlet for a team like Georgia Tech.
So, Tech can’t recruit, can’t develop players and routinely faces the toughest schedules in college football. Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Tech’s SOS’s by FPI:
2018: 59th
2019: 53rd
2020: 39th
2021: 12th
2022: 14th
That 2021 SOS included Georgia, Notre Dame and Clemson, all top 8 by FPI. How bad was the rest of it, you ask?
Northern Illinois (93) – Loss
Kennesaw State (I-AA) – Win
North Carolina (43) – Win
Pitt (12) – Loss
Duke (113) – Win
Virginia (47) – Loss
Virginia Tech (64) – Loss
Miami (23) – Loss
Boston College (71) – Loss
In fairness, I guess that is a gauntlet for a team like Georgia Tech. You know, a shitty one.

I will give them this. At least Key had them playing like they gave a shit last year. Their season’s high water mark was holding a 7 – 0 lead over the best team in the country. However brief that was.

No question that Tech faces a pretty brutal run every year. Georgia which has been on a different level than just about every team in CFB. Clemson which has been very good to great with two generational QBs over the past decade. And even the middle tier of the ACC has had teams with flashes of really good football led mostly by QBs good enough to get drafted. Then throw in a really bad HC hire after Johnson with losses to teams scheduled for automatic wins for the home crowd. I’ll borrow something I read last week. Tech’s football program has been in reverse Midas touch mode. Every move they’ve made has turned to shit. I don’t feel sorry for them or long for days of better Tech football, but it is pretty damn amazing the level of futility that Tech has displayed the past several years.

I can’t feel sorry for them. I’m old school. That said they are wallowing in a dung heap in almost every sport. This leads me to believe it systemic with the sports program and boosters in general. What has done my heart good, has been to hear long time Tech booster bemoaning the fact the Georgia fans don’t even care enough to hate them.

Here’s a lifeline to that tech booster: no matter how lousy they are, I will always hold a 50-megaton hate for the jacketasses’ sports teams.

So if we started rotating mercer, southern, state, kennesaw and tech for final season home games, we’d be doing them a favor right?
Don’t we spend enough time in Atlanta these days anyway?

FU Jorttown’s Schedule, without changing anything, just keeps getting tougher and tougher. They are not recruiting, keeping & developing talented players & coaches whilst simultaneously, their competition (UGA, LSU, FSU UTenn, Kentucky S. Carolin,, all keep getting better & have all passed them. The swampbags are standing in quicksand watching the rising elevators.
Good luck to Billy the Once-ago-Kid.
