Top college football predictions for week 0
One of the model's top college football picks recommended for Week 0 is Florida State vs Georgia Tech to score under 55.5 points. Florida State was one of the best defensive teams in the country last season. The Seminoles gave up just 19.29 points per game last season, good for 18th in the country.
Meanwhile, Georgia Tech has been efficient offensively in 2023, picking up 290 first downs in 13 games, 32nd-most in the country. The Yellow Jackets return starting quarterback Haynes King, who threw for 2,842 yards and 27 touchdowns last season, plus 737 yards rushing and 10 touchdowns. Georgia Tech's ability to kill the clock on first downs is a big reason why the model projects the total to fall below the posted numbers in 60 percent of simulations.
