Along with Georgia Tech, the playoff committee ranked four other ACC teams this week. However, the committee only sees the ACC as a one-bid conference right now. That would mean Georgia Tech’s only path to the playoff is to win the ACC.
“Georgia Tech, again, we look at all of the metrics. Their schedule strength is hard for them when you think about just any non-conference signature wins. Miami certainly with the win versus Notre Dame was a key factor for Miami ahead of Georgia Tech,” said Mack Rhoades, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee chair.
“Again, just in general with the ACC, I think just their lack of non-conference signature wins, other than Miami over Notre Dame.”
