Each key sets one team's offense against the other's defense in the same situation, using Georgia Tech's 4 games and Boston College's 5 so far, garbage time left out. The bold number in the comparison is the better one, and the small number beside it is that team's rank among FBS teams. Havoc plays are losses, sacks, passes broken up and takeaways. The win chance comes from this site's power index, and it is not a betting line.
