Oct. 27 – BYU
Nov. 3 – at Maryland
Nov. 10 – at North Carolina

Nov. 24 – at Georgia
First observations – A well-placed bye, after the fifth game. … Six of the first eight games are at home, including four in a row in September, and then three of the last four are on the road, including at Georgia. … With three Coastal Division games in the first four weeks, Tech’s ACC titles hopes could well be in terrific shape, or dashed, before the end of September. … Duke plays Tech after its bye week, which I think it also did this past season. North Carolina will also get Tech after the bye.

I bet the guy driving the truck just put in his two week notice.
Actually I think I saw him running around in his white e tighties saying ” help me Tom Cruise use your magic to put the fire out”

This year will be my third as aseason ticket holder. Living in California limits me to 4 or 5 games a year. The fact that only 45,000 Tech grads live in Georgia highlights one attendance problem. UGA grads tend to stay in Ga and Atlanta and there are a lot more of them. Beating UGA more often and winning an occational bowl game would help as well.

Wow…7-5 or 8-4 at best. VT and UGA are definite losses. PC, MTSU, BC, Maryland and Duke are almost certain wins. You’ll go either 2-3 or 3-2 among Clemson, U.Va., UNC, Miami and BYU. That will be the difference between 8-4 or 7-5. Don’t see very much latitude otherwise.

VT has to play at miami and fsu and clemson. Even if we lost, we could still win the division. gotta beat miami and unc though.

I love it when people say a game is a definite loss. Just like uga thought in 08. And they thought they would lose in 09. Depends on our qb. I’m hoping it’s vad and he shocks the nation

Thank you Ramblin Man. I just needed proof that a Tech fan understood this since so many came bashing UGA on our blogs because we didn’t play Bama or LSU in 2011. People forget that UGA split with Bama in our last series and swept Bama in the series prior. Also had that high scoring game at LSU followed up by the home loss with the celebration penalty against AJ Green. UGA isn’t avoiding anyone either.

Devil learn about college scheduling before saying a team avoids somebody. FSU is not a set game for GT. Clemson is GTs ACC rival and the only Atlantic team GT will play every year. FSU was in the 08-09 schedule and will come back around in about 4 years. This is true for all confrences and trying to schedule games. It is the same reason the UGA vs Bama games were rescheduled as they are not automatic games. Damn those little things known as facts.
That said this is not a strong schedule and things will be bad if 8 or 9 wins don’t happen. I know the last minute VT change changed things up, but Presbyterian.

Techies….ya’ll need to keep those comments about UGA’s schedule to yourself from now on….I mean Presbyterian ain’t exactlywhat I’d call even competitive for a D1 school….now we know why Rad & CPJ need a game against PC…it’s a sure win, bet next time it’ll be Savannah State

Big Old Dawg ……… Buffalo, Fla Atlantic, Ga Southern.
All 3 of those UGA 2012 opponents would lose or be lucky to beat MTSU. And none of the 3 would come close to beating BYU.
But Dawg fans everywhere can rejoice ……. You’ve got the cajone-less McGarity setting up UF-like OOC schedules. Remember those? When UGA fans everywhere complained about UF playing the San Jose’s, Buffalo’s, Fla Atlantic’s?
And McGarity’s so worried at the possibilty of losing to Georgia Tech that he’s got GA Southern coming to Athens for game ELEVEN!

Comparing the GaTech and UGA 2012 football schedules using Sagarin’s final 2011 rankings looks something like this:
Tech Opp…………..Ranking……UGA Opp……………….Ranking
Georgia……………..21…………….South Carolina……….10
Virginia Tech …….27…………….Missouri…………………16
Clemson ……………32…………….Florida …………………..29
BYU…………………..34…………….Auburn……………………33
Miami………………..52…………….Vanderbilt………………42
North Carolina……54…………….Tennessee…………….50
Virginia……………..71…………….Georgia Tech…………56
Boston College….90…………….Georgia Southern…..81
Maryland……………104…………..Kentucky……………….85
Duke…………………113…………..Ole Miss……………….103
MTSU……………….169…………..Buffalo………………….135
Presbyterian……..196…………..Florida Atlantic……..190
UGA is GaTech most difficult opponent while GaTech is UGA’s 7th most difficult.

TECH will go 7-5 this season!! They will head back to the El Paso Bowl. This is coming from a guy who gets free tix to every GT game because no one wants to go. As long as PJ is there, get ready for 5-6, 6-6 or 7-5!! GO PANTHERS!!

Since you seem to be able to see the future (and in such great precision as well), can you tell me what the closing price for AAPL will be on 5/1/12 and also what will be the price for West Texas Intermediate Crude on 5/31/12? Ben Bernanke likely has a job for you – you are being wasted forecasting the scores of college games.

As usual, the biggest question concerning Georgia Tech’s football schedule is who in the world cares? This is a program that very rarely finishes ranked, very rarely plays in a January bowl game, very rarely wins any bowl game whatsoever, and very rarely beats its biggest rival. Look up the word “irrelevant” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of Buzz staring right back at you.
I’m becoming more and more convinced that they hired Paul Johnson as a marketing ploy more than anything else. He’s got a sharp tongue and runs a gimmick offense for the media to talk about. They needed to generate some excitement about the program after things went stale under Gailey. Things are going stale again. I barely even watched them play last year. Its very boring and mediocre football. Nobody cares about Georgia Tech football.
The truth hurts.
