As has been proven many times, the best way to figure out who will win each week is the quality and number of former players drafted by the New York Football Giants. Advanced metrics have shown a strong correlation between the two. So let's take a look at the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets vs the Syracuse Orangemen...

Number of Players Drafted by the Giants
Syracuse- 9
GA Tech- 6
Advantage: Cuse, by a decent margin

Highest Drafted Player
Syracuse- 19th overall
GA Tech- 23rd overall
Advantage: Push, not much difference between the two

Offensive Players
Syracuse- Justin Pugh OL (2013 1st Round, 19th overall), Bruce Tarbox OL (1961 2nd Round), Joe Morris RB (1982 2nd), Ryan Nassib QB (2013 4th), David Tyree WR (2003 6th), Bob Yates OL (1960 7th)

GA Tech- Ray Beck OL (1952 2nd Round, 23rd overall), Paul Duke OL (1946 4th Round), Bob Davis OL (1947 6th), Roy Simmons OL (1979 8th)

Advantage: GA Tech, Roy Simmons is a legend

Defensive Players
Syracuse- Will Allen DB (2001 1st Round), Jay Bromley DL (2014 3rd), Jerry Kimmel LB (1986 10th)

GA Tech- Gerris Wilkinson LB (2006 3rd Round), Sammy Lilly DB (1988 8th)

Advantage: Cuse, not much there for either side but at least SU has something.

There you have it folks. The stats don't lie. The Syracuse Orange will win this one.
