Projection: need to automatically qualify

Georgia Tech's résumé reads like a team that can defend and collect expected home wins against lesser opposition but has yet to deliver a resume-changing victory away from campus. The best moments have come in nonconference wins over smaller opponents where the defense controlled the game, and the worst moments are the lopsided neutral losses to DePaul and Drake and the rugged trip to Georgia that exposed the Yellow Jackets' struggles on the road. Most of the remaining slate features winnable dates such as Monmouth, Marist and Lafayette and multiple meetings with Florida A&M, so those games will pad the ledger but not answer questions about quality. A signature road or neutral triumph in ACC play at a place like Duke, Louisville, North Carolina or Miami would rewrite the narrative otherwise the profile will remain built on comfortable home victories and damaging results on hostile floors.
