Georgia Tech's bye week has been a mix of emotions, but the Yellow Jackets are now focused on their next challenge: a crucial Atlantic Coast Conference matchup against Boston College. Despite their CFP ranking improving, the team is still reeling from their first loss of the season to N.C. State. The loss dropped Georgia Tech from its top-10 ranking to No. 16 in the Top 25 and No. 17 in the College Football Playoff rankings. However, recent developments in the playoff picture have shifted in the Yellow Jackets' favor. Both Virginia and Louisville, which were ahead of Georgia Tech in the rankings, lost in Week 12, while Miami rose to 15th and Georgia Tech improved to 16th. Despite the positive outlook, coach Brent Key emphasized that the team cannot afford to take Boston College lightly. The Eagles are 1-9 overall and 0-6 in conference play, but Key believes they are a well-coached team that can cause problems for his squad. The Georgia Tech players are indeed angry and motivated after their first loss of the season. Quarterback Haynes King described the team's emotions as a mix of anger and excitement, with a strong desire to prove themselves in the playoff picture. In a season where the ACC has been dominated by other conferences, King believes the ACC deserves more credit for its competitiveness. With Miami, Virginia, and Louisville also in the running for the ACC title game and playoff berth, the stakes are high for Georgia Tech's matchup against Boston College. "To win that game, we're probably going to have to be perfect," King said. The team is aware that an ACC championship appearance is within reach, but it will require a win against a tough Boston College team.
