Vandy, Wake, Duke, and UGA....Who has the best chance to knock us off?

I say Duke, hands down. Their offensive strengths match up well with our defensive strengths: they average around 300 passing yards per game, and our secondary has been porous at times. Their defense held its own against our ground assault last year, albeit with Josh injured and Shaw playing, so this is not the usual Duke cupcake game. It is also at their place, which is worth something in their favor.

UGA is not a threat. There's no way on God's green earth that GT loses to UGA in Atlanta going into the game 10-1. Our guys would be looking to put the final touches on an amazing regular season. I'm more concerned about Duke.

UGA definetely. Even though they have been sucking all season if they could beat us at our place that would make their season 100 times better. They will probably play their best football of the season that week. Duke should be an easy win(key word should) us playing at their house doesnt really matter considering their stadium only seats like 10,000
 
It has been a very, very, very long time since Georgia could salvage their season and feel better about themselves by beating Georgia Tech. We really need to beat them to keep the momentum in recruiting and overall "change for the better" going at Tech. I believe we are capable of beating them handily. It will hinge on how they play against Florida, Kentucky, and Auburn. If Richt can re-group his team, and get them feeling froggy, they will be a handful. If Florida crushes them and maybe Auburn or Kentucky embarrass them, it will make our life easier.
 
But what if UGA loses to Florida? Will they be "undetermined" to beat us, like the fans said that they were last year?
 
As far as biggest game that i worry about its Wake. Duke is a joke and I just really want to see us in a BCS bowl game. (But UGAg is a close second)
 
I totally think Duke is our toughest game, and would be our most costly loss. That game can easily become an FSU style shootout.
 
UGA.

Watch the game against Arkansas. Cox looked like Matt Ryan carving up the secondary.

I am happy they are having trouble this season but fear they are better than the record indicates. And it is a rivalry game, which increases the probability they will focus on that game for season redemption.
 
While I enjoy the idea that we might be more worried about Duke or Wake, the answer is absolutely UGA. I'm not worried about UGA yet though. I'll have two straight weeks to worry about them; no need to get an early start.
 
UGAy, hands down.

I'd rather lose to Duke or WF and miss the ACCCG than lose at home to UGAy.
 
Losing to Duke would be devastating. We would be 1 victory away from the coastal championship and it would knock us way down in the polls, not to mention the public perception of our program. Realistically, they should not be able to pull off that upset, but we've all seen crazier things happen.
 
Duke. Their crappy fanbase is a blessing and a curse. It's a lot easier to get up for a game in Blacksburg than it is for a game in front of 10,000 in Durham. Sorry for the kick in the nuts, but this is precisely what happened in 2003. Assuming we're 9-1 and in the top 10, they'll be playing our best football of the year against us. It *should* not be a contest by the second half, but they have the passing offense to torch a 1st-half-FSU defense. A couple of turnovers by our offense and the game would stay close.

UGA is definitely second, but I don't think we'll have an issue coming to play with a rivalry game. However, if UGA's defense plays to their reputation, we should hang tons of points on them.

Wake and Vandy? Eh. Except for a general uneasiness all Tech fans have of upsets, there's nothing on paper saying these teams can beat us.
 
I still don't think Duke is a threat. I think you guys are just overreacting by a lot. UGAg definitely is the biggest threat, since AJ Green is a great receiver, and although Cox sucks, he'll be able to make a few throws.

However, I don't see any of the remaining teams containing our offense, and I believe we'll be scoring 30+ on each one.

Yeah, UGA still has enough athletes to make a few plays on accident.
