Bowl projections are fun to do in the season and to think about the types of matchups that fans could see after the regular season concludes. Until today, Georgia Tech has not been seen as a bowl team by most, but they made their first appearance in one set of bowl projections today.

Brett McMurphy of the Action Network and formerly of ESPN releases his bowl projections each Monday and he had Georgia Tech included amongst them for the first time this season.

So who does McMurphy have the Yellow Jackets going up against? He is projecting them to play South Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on December 27th and has Georgia Tech as a 7.5-point underdog in the game.

South Carolina is 4-2 this season and coming off an upset win over Kentucky this past Saturday. The Gamecocks are likely heading to their second straight bowl game under head coach Shane Beamer and he has done a solid job since taking over in Columbia last season.

This would be the first bowl game for Georgia Tech since 2018 when they played in the Quick Lane Bowl vs Minnesota and lost 34-10 to the Golden Gophers.

It would be quite the turnaround to make a bowl since starting the season 1-3, but there are still plenty of games left to play and the Yellow Jackets have to earn their way there.
