Kind of going unmentioned, but GT is not necessarily destined for an ACC championship game appearance. Thanks to mega-conferences, it's very plausible that the ACC has a 3-way tie for 1st with e.g. Miami, GT, and Virginia all going undefeated, in which case the championship game will be determined by a tiebreaker which will absolutely be unfair to one fanbase.
The Furd look to be headed for their seventh consecutive losing season. The Bears have never had seven straight losing seasons although they have twice had eight straight non-winning seasons (1939-1946 and 1994-2001) but both times they had a .500 season mixed in. And once had nine non-winning seasons in a row (1959-1967) with two .500 years mixed in.

Man, our schedule alone should put us in the ACC championship game. Unfortunately we have to play the actual games.
Fyi - looks like Nick’s comments are from a different week.
