Their regular season record against other FBS OOC opponents was 25-13, but only 8-10 since 2011. Against current conference opponents other than Clemson, the Jackets were 43-27 from 2001 to 2010, and 38-33 since then. Against current Coastal Division teams they were 52-46. They have done better against the Atlantic Division (29-14), but they now get only one such crossover game a year other than Clemson.
With Georgia and Clemson on the schedule every year and Notre Dame every third year, the Jackets may need to schedule two pretty sure FBS OOC wins a year and they haven't been doing that lately.
WOW, that is some narrative you have...from that take GT should just shutdown the football team... However when you look below at Georgia Tech's record from 1995 to present you will see That Georgia Tech has only finished ACC play with a losing record only three times! (2015, 2019, 2020)

I think what has the fans super worried is not that Coach Collins has a losing record.... it is the fashion we lose.
1. worse loss in modern-era 73-7 to Clemson
2.Georgia Tech’s 382-game home non-shutout streak gone with a 45-0 loss to VT
3. Coach Collins has yet to beat a team that finished the season with a winning record and he has yet to extend his winning streak at Georgia Tech beyond one consecutive game.
I can't even begin to talk about the COFH series! However to be fair to Coach Collins no one really thought we would be competitive with that series while we transitioned from the TO to his scheme. Also when George Oleary took over in 1995 the thirty years before (1964 -1994) Georgia Tech was only 8-22 in the COFH series! That didn't stop the Coach from going 3-3 against the Dwags during his tenure! However...back to Collins... to not even be competitive ACC play, again not talking about COFH series?? Come on we do not need another Bill Lewis, we need a Coach at least as good as Chan Gailey!
