The new format sets Georgia Tech with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice in an (home and away) in a four–year cycle. The Yellow Jackets three set conference opponents for the next four years are: Clemson, Louisville, and Wake Forest.[5][6] As such, this is the first season since 1932 that the Yellow Jackets didn't play rival Duke.
