While the start of the 2024 season is still six months away, the first win totals for the upcoming college football season are starting to be released, including for Georgia Tech. 

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

Last year, Georgia Tech entered the year with a 4.5-win total and would end up going over it. 

A big reason for the low total is the schedule. Georgia Tech usually plays one of the toughest schedules in the whole country and this year is going to be no different. The Yellow Jackets face 11 teams that made a bowl game including Georgia, Notre Dame, Florida State, Miami, NC State, Virginia Tech, and North Carolina.

Here are the other projected win totals for ACC teams according to FanDuel: 

Boston College: 4.5

Cal: 6.5

Clemson: 9.5

Duke 6.5

Florida State: 9.5

Louisville: 8.5

Miami: 9.5

NC State: 8.5

North Carolina: 8.5

Pitt: 5.5

SMU: 7.5

Stanford: 3.5

Syracuse: 6.5

Virginia: 4.5

Virginia Tech: 7.5

Wake Forest: 4.5

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.
