Georgia Tech lost the opening coin toss for the 10th time in 11 games this season. The Yellow Jackets’ lone win on an opening coin toss came in their second game of the season (Sept. 6 vs. Gardner-Webb). Including losing the coin toss at the beginning of overtime at Wake Forest (Sept. 27), Tech is 1-11 in coin tosses this season. The statistical odds of winning just 1-of-12 coin tosses are just 0.293% (1 in 340).

0-340 is almost the same stat as the ‘when ACC teams trail by 28 and come back to win’ that popped up in the 4thGeorgia Tech lost the opening coin toss for the 10th time in 11 games this season.

1-340 are similar odds to GT making the ACCCG yet we have a whole thread with autistic people prognosticating

So if we win the coin toss, we are in the ACCCG?

You really got a burr under your saddle about that, don't you?

Doesn't the very existence of this streak prove them right that it could actually happen?

Not in the slightest. It’s par for the course for StingTalk.
Starting on December 1st we can get back to arguing about uniform colors and wondering how Under Armor will make an accurate gold color.

December 1st, we are going to be arguing about how we clearly have the best resume of any two-loss team and deserve an at large bid
We've now lost 12 out of 13 coin tosses this season, including the Wake Forest overtime toss. The only toss we we won was versus Gardner Webb.
Assuming a fair coin, by the binomial distribution, the chances of losing 12 or more coin tosses out of 13 is 0.17% (1 in 588).
