This week, we’re breaking down Georgia Tech’s most likely, best-case, and worst-case scenarios for the 2025 football season ahead of kickoff in Boulder.
The sportsbooks have set the win total at 7.5, and if things fall into place, the Jackets should be in position to clear that number.
Analyst Kelley Ford projects Tech to come away with five conference victories, making that the most realistic outcome.
Here’s where some of our writers land on Georgia Tech’s outlook for 2025:
Jack: Last season, we felt pretty firmly that 6–6 was the most likely outcome. That was with a tougher schedule and a weaker roster. This time around, the roster is stronger and the schedule looks more favorable. Still, I can’t ignore that in the Brent Key era, Tech hasn’t avoided the “stupid loss” yet. I don’t know who it’ll be (maybe Pitt), but it’s tough to get through an ACC slate without dropping one we shouldn’t. Even if Tech beats Clemson, I think that reality holds. My prediction: 8–4, with losses to Clemson, Georgia, Pitt, and one more road conference game.
Chris: I think 7 or 8 wins is the sweet spot. The schedule has some lighter games (only two currently ranked opponents), but I’m not convinced Tech will finish perfect in every matchup they’re favored in. Like Jack said, the “stupid loss” hasn’t gone away.
Logan: I keep going back and forth. My heart says 9 or 10 wins, but my head says the most likely result is 8 wins with one major upset along the way. I’m not sure which game will swing that way, but I do think it happens. At the same time, I expect at least a few ACC opponents to be tougher than they look on paper, so I’m not ready to pencil Tech in as a title contender yet. Maybe that’s just the jaded GT fan in me.
So, that’s where we stand. How do you see Georgia Tech’s season shaping up? Drop your predictions in the comments or in the feed—we’d love to hear them.
