The dates for the 2024 ACC Football Kickoff have officially been set. 

For the first time in the history of the event, the Atlantic Coast Conference will conduct the annual ACC Football Kickoff with four full days of interviews, July 22-25, at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown in Charlotte, North Carolina. ACC Network will provide live coverage for all four days.

With the addition of three new members in the University of California (Cal), Southern Methodist University (SMU), and Stanford, the breakdown of all 17 schools will consist of three schools on Monday, July 22, five schools each on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 23-24, and four schools on Thursday, July 25.

Georgia Tech is going to be on the first day, along with Florida State and SMU. ACC commissioner Jim Phillips will also be speaking that day. 

Last season, the Yellow Jackets made a bowl game for the first time since 2018 and got a win over UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl to finish with a winning record. They are returning the majority of their offense that finished as one of the ACC's best in 2023 and also made upgrades on the defensive coaching staff. Despite those things, Georgia Tech is going to start the 2024 season with a 5.5 win total according to the latest odds at Fanduel Sportsbook

One thing that Georgia Tech will have working for it is continuity, especially on the offensive side of the ball. The Yellow Jackets return a bulk of their starters from one of the ACC's best offenses and offensive coordinator Buster Faulkner is back calling the plays.

The big questions for Georgia Tech will come on the defensive side of the ball. The Yellow Jackets were the worst defense in the ACC last year, but new hires on that side of the ball, including a new defensive coordinator, should improve them. The question will be how much.
