The first game of the 2024 college football season provided what will stand as one of the most surprising results all year, as double-digit favorite No. 10 Florida State fell 24-21 to Georgia Tech in Dublin, Ireland.

Florida State was picked to finish first in the ACC preseason media poll, garnering 81 of 170 votes for the top spot. By contrast, the Yellow Jackets came in at No. 9 -- though one seemingly prescient voter did give them a nod for first place.
