The 2024 season is getting closer and Georgia Tech is going to be participating in the first big game of the season when they face off against Florida State in
Dublin, Ireland. It will be a huge test for both teams that will give us a sense of how their seasons might go.
Georgia Tech has one of the nation's toughest schedules and that has played a huge factor into why their projected season win total has been low at most sportsbooks. Not only are the sportsbooks low on Georgia Tech from a wins perspective, ESPN's FPI is too and they just released predictions for almost every game on the Yellow Jackets schedule.
ESPN uses its FPI as an advanced analytical model to help look at matchups and predict outcomes. In ESPN's own words: "FPI is a predictive rating system designed to measure team strength and project performance going forward. The ultimate goal of FPI is not to rank teams 1 through 128; rather, it is to correctly predict games and season outcomes. If Vegas ever published the power rankings it uses to set its lines, they would likely look quite a lot like FPI.
I think FPI is wrong about Georgia Tech's chances in this game. I am not saying the Yellow Jackets should be favored, but they have a much better chance to win this game than most might think. If the defense has taken enough of a step forward and the offense remains potent, they have a chance to pull a big upset in the first game. FPI likes Florida State by a lot here though.
The only game that FPI does not have a prediction for yet is for the rivalry matchup with Georgia in Athens, but it is safe to say that the Bulldogs will be favored heavily in that game, leaving Georgia Tech with a projected 4-8 record according to ESPN's FPI. While the schedule is tough, that would be a disappointing result for the season.
