So five newspaper guys, 10 TV people and 158 online/fanboi site bloggers?While still funny, this isn't Brett's poll. This was a poll taken of 173 media members at ACC Media days.

Sounds like he’s worried his “talented” roster is about to be exposedThis fits well here:
Throw out the two outliers (5/1, 1/7) and the average miss is ~1.2 spots (11 delta/9 years). We ded.Preseason media poll accuracy for GT

Time to avenge this one.2015 1/7
It’s actually just a pattern. We’re going to finish 3.Throw out the two outliers (5/1, 1/7) and the average miss is ~1.2 spots (11 delta/9 years). We ded.
Actually it felt that way to me, too. Last year was a disappointment.I bet if you asked them to recall last year's final standings without looking, they'd guess GT finished 4th or 5th in 2018.
Agreed. Losing to Duke and USF and finishing like we weren't even trying against UGA and Minnesota.....took all the shine off of our solid division finish.Actually it felt that way to me, too. Last year was a disappointment.
It was still ridiculous we didn’t crack the Top 25 after beating UgA and KY that year. In years past, 9 wins would ALWAYS get Georgia Tech into the top 25. I believe several coaches and members of the AP never gave us a fair shake.It's likewise difficult to remember we finished fifth in the division in 2016 after beating UGA and winning the Gator Bowl to finish with nine wins.
I think the years you’re thinking of were before schedule expansion, weren’t they?It was still ridiculous we didn’t crack the Top 25 after beating UgA and KY that year.
