As mentioned before, the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are still very much in the driver’s seat for the division crown, as well as an ACC Championship. A loss to Notre Dame hurt, but they were a top 10 team, and the loss has no bearing on their conference aspirations. This game is was a learning experience for Paul Johnson’s team, and he will no doubt have his squad focusing on their weaknesses that were evidenced on Saturday. The Ramblin’ Wreck has another test this coming Saturday, as they travel to Durham to face the Duke Blue Devils
