3 Reasons Georgia Tech Bowl Hopes Just Crumbled After Loss

Bowl Projections Shift Hard

Georgia Tech is now on the outside looking in for a bowl game after a heartbreaking loss to Colorado. The Yellow Jackets started the season 0-2 after losses to Colorado and Tennessee. Sports Illustrated reported that the preseason win total of 6.5 has already sunk to 5.5. If the team wants to make its fourth straight postseason appearance, they must play better immediately or face a historic miss. CBS Sports dropped the Jackets from their projections entirely, while ESPN's Kyle Bonagura did the same. Only one national analyst, Mark Schlabach, still has them in the picture, sending them to the Gasparilla Bowl to face Tulane. That is a tall order for a team that just lost in Atlanta.
