Georgia Tech blew its chance to command the ACC’s Coastal Division, but the Jackets are still alive.
The race could come down to a three-way or even a four-way tiebreaker. Virginia (3-1) leads the division and will go to the Dec. 6 championship game in Tampa if it wins out. The Cavaliers are followed by Georgia Tech (3-2), Virginia Tech (2-2), North Carolina (2-2), Miami (2-2) and Duke (1-2).


In a three-way or four-way tie, the first tiebreaker is combined head-to-head record, then division record.
The Jackets have lost to Virginia and Virginia Tech, beaten Duke and have yet to face North Carolina and Miami.


For Tech to have a chance, the Jackets likely must win out and have the Cavaliers lose at least one of their remaining games against Miami, Wake Forest, Clemson and Virginia Tech.


Further, the Jackets can’t win two- or three-team tiebreakers with Virginia and Virginia Tech.


“It’s really frustrating,” defensive end Derrick Morgan said. “We had an opportunity to put ourselves in first place in our division and we let it get away from us.”
His counterpart, Michael Johnson, struck a more upbeat note.



“We’re not out of it,” he said. “We’ve just got to go back and keep playing, and hopefully things can go our way.” :fingersx:

Why all this talk about how we get to the championship game. Let the games played, and towards the end look at our chances.

All that matters now is the FSU game!

This was my only season goal from the start. This ranking and ACC title stuff only got thrown in because our did so much better then expected. We all agreed we'd be happy with 8 wins right? We're still on track.

I think our goals got skewed a bit somewhere around defeating Miss State and Clemson --my goals included.

During the summer I, like most of us, felt that 7-8 wins would make for a good 2008 season --and GT would move forward in the coming years where 7-8 win seasons would be a disappointment.

The present is the present --we're sitting at 6-2 with four tough games remaining. Winning two of the remaining three conference games would make for a good ACC season. Winning in Athens would make for a glorious season.

u are the one that wants to storm the field against FSU, we are all hurting form FSU, so all that matters for this one week is FSU game. Aside from this one week, you are right, UGA.

For me, beating FSU is a season goal as well. It would be tough.
