It would be tough to win a NC at Georgia Tech period IMO.

I know you can say look they've done it before but I really think some things have changed for the moment. Obviously a lot of things have changed as far as sophistication of offenses but also a lot of the big programs with natural recruiting advantages and/or tradition have gotten their act together. Teams like USC, Florida, Texas, even LSU really all have big recruiting advantages because of their home states abundance of talent but a lot of those teams pissed around for a while in the 90's due to poor coaching. Those teams plus other teams like Oklahoma, Alabama, Ohio State where its easier to win than places like Georgia Tech have also gotten it together to various degrees.

Georgia Tech is just more difficult to recruit to than a lot of the "big" teams. Because of that you could almost make an argument that the option is a better system for them because maybe you don't have to recruit the top guys on offense at least. But I think you have to be able to pass the ball at least competently these days to win the NC, athletes are just getting better and better at these top schools defensively, hence these spread option attacks.

This would be blasphemous to most other Alabama fans but even though I think the 1992 NC winning Alabama team had one of the top defenses of all time I think they'd have a hard time winning the NC these days cause of their offense.

That was a bit rambling, oh well.
