Early Look at the ACC — Georgia Tech To Finish 3rd

This betting service has GT finishing #3 in the ACC next year behind FSU and VT.

Page 2 — NCAA Football Futures - Early Look at the ACC — BetUS Locker Room: "In Atlanta, GEORGIA TECH (+700 at BetUS) handed the program over to Paul Johnson, and the former Navy coach delivered in his first season, with nine wins. A big part of making Johnson's flexbone offense work was Jonathan Dwyer, who simply took the ball and took over, rushing for 1395 yards, best in the ACC. He's gotten a lot of All-American attention, and would be considered an outside contender for the Heisman. There are nine starters coming back on offense, and eight on defense. Freshmen or sophomores scored all but three of the Yellow Jackets' touchdowns last season. Johnson has a lot of depth in the backfield alongside Dwyer, so they will keep coming at teams and challenging defensive fronts. The problem is that the offensive line has to be rebuilt to an extent. That may be the difference between a mid-tier bowl game and a possible appearance in the ACC title game. Passing teams will certainly be challenged by this defense, as there are at least one or two potential all-conference performers in the secondary."
