Can I dub these guys Tech’s newest rivals? Is that fair? I kinda like that. We play a tight series with them. The matchup has a couple names, common in some circles. It’s almost always a game to circle on the calendar with (usually) divisional championship connotations. Let’s get to it.
The typical Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets regular season schedule went to twelve games per season for good in 2006, after varying between eleven and twelve since 2001. In the prototypical season, Tech plays eight Atlantic Coast Conference games, with six coming against the other Coastal Division teams of Pittsburgh, Virginia, VPISU, Duke, Miami, and North Carolina, and two against teams from the Atlantic Division, featuring permanent rival Clemson and a rotating opponent from amongst the other six teams, which is North Carolina State in 2019.
