7. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 10-2 (6-2)

Last Game: Defeated Georgia Bulldogs 30-24 in Overtime

Next Game: Florida State Seminoles in ACC Championship

No, thine eyes do not deceive thou. Among all of the 10-2  and possibly 9-2 teams in college football right now, We have put an ACC team with 2 losses above all of them. The worst Power Five conference eh? Well, ask anybody who saw Saturday, which might have been the greatest day for the conference in a long time.

The ACC swept the SEC East, 4-0, and part of that was Georgia Tech, who beat the team many believed to be the best in the SEC East, Georgia. The Yellow Jackets picked up a major quality win there, and the rest of the day by the ACC really helped them. Clemson beating South Carolina was another addition to their schedule strength and made the Tigers a huge quality win, and all of a sudden, the Yellow Jackets have the toughest strength of schedule of any 2-loss team at No. 44. And they have two quality wins.

This weekend could make it three with a meeting against the Florida State Seminoles in the ACC Championship game. A win for them signals chaos. Could that happen? Could they be in position to make the College Football Playoff? Possibly.
