For the first time since 2015, Georgia Tech is ranked in the AP poll. The Yellow Jackets have started 2-0 and are ranked No. 23 heading into their matchup with Syracuse, who is 1-0 following a win vs Ohio. The Orange are very optimistic about the start to their season and are hoping a win over the Yellow Jackets could give them a boost going forward into the rest of their schedule.

This Saturday is going to be a contrast in styles on offense. Syracuse is going to feature a dangerous passing attack with quarterback Kyle McCord and tight end Oronde Gadsden, while Georgia Tech is going to have one of the nation's top rushing attacks at their disposal. That is what makes this matchup so interesting and it should be a close and hard fought game between the two teams.

After going 4-0 in our staff predictions last week, how does the Georgia Tech On SI Staff see Saturday's game playing out?
