THE FLATS – Media that cover Atlantic Coast Conference football have predicted that Georgia Tech will finish in the top third of the league standings for a fourth-straight season, as the Yellow Jackets were picked fifth in the ACC’s 2026 preseason poll.
Georgia Tech placed fifth among the conference’s 17 teams in preseason balloting of 188 ACC media members with 2,006 total points, including two first-place votes.
The Yellow Jackets have outpaced preseason expectations in each of their three full seasons under head coach Brent Key. The Jackets tied for second in the ACC last season after being picked fourth in the 2025 preseason poll, and tied for fourth in the conference after 10th– and 12th-place preseason prognostications in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The Jackets are the only team that has finished in the top four of the ACC standings each of the last three seasons.
Georgia Tech posted a 9-4 overall record (tied for the 10th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season football history in Tech’s 133-season football history) and No. 24 final national ranking in 2025. The Yellow Jackets’ 6-2 record in ACC play was its best since 2014.
Tech opens fall camp on Monday in preparation for their season opener versus Colorado on Thursday, Sept. 3 at Bobby Dodd Stadium at Hyundai Field.
