Georgia Tech falls to No. 23 in latest CFP Rankings
Georgia Tech’s College Football Playoff hopes are on life support as the Jackets came in at No. 23 in the latest rankings released by the selection committee Tuesday night on ESPN.
Head coach Brent Key and the Jackets (9-2, 6-2 ACC) suffered a 42-28 loss at home on Saturday night at Bobby Dodd Stadium to Pittsburgh that severely damaged Tech’s chances of making a trip to the ACC Championship Game next weekend and ultimately a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Miami remained as the top-ranked ACC team in this week’s rankings with the Canes slotted in at the No. 12 spot and in the playoff bracket as the No. 11 seed opposite of No. 6 seed Oregon.
Other ACC teams in the rankings included Virginia (No. 18), SMU (No. 21) and Pittsburgh (No. 22).
Georgia Tech has a matchup vs. rival Georgia set for Friday at 3:30 p.m. at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to wrap up the regular season in another edition of Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate.
