Georgia Tech’s flickering chances to play in a bowl game took two hits over the weekend, primarily by the Yellow Jackets losing their seventh game of the season last Thursday to Virginia Tech. The second was in the weekend’s other results.
NCAA rules stipulate that, in the event of a shortage of bowl-eligible teams, a pool of 5-7 teams made up of the five teams with the highest Academic Progress Rate scores will be eligible to bowls to fill their lineups. At 3-7, that would be Tech’s only avenue and would first require the Jackets to beat Miami and Georgia.
