“There’s no reason why we can’t be on top of the ACC,” coach Paul Johnson said Tuesday. “Can we compete every year? Well, I hope so. If I hadn’t thought that, I wouldn’t have come here. There’s no reason why Georgia Tech can’t be right there in the conference.”
. . . . .
Is he just sticking up for the ACC? Maybe.
But Johnson makes an argument: “Ole Miss loses to Wake Forest and people say, ‘Well, they’re a bottom feeder of the SEC.’ But then they go and beat Florida and the same people say, ‘Oh, that’s how tough the SEC is.’ It’s perception. Georgia’s a great example. Georgia’s a very talented team. They’ve got some great individual players. But the perception and the expectation level before the season started was unbelievable. And what warranted it? Because they blew out Hawaii in the Sugar Bowl?”
