The special edition of SportsCenter is hosted by SportsCenter anchor and ESPN golf commentator Matt Barrie. Barrie will also handle the play-by-play duties for ESPN on Thursday evening’s telecast of Georgia Tech football’s season opener versus Colorado. The Yellow Jackets and Buffaloes kick off at 8 p.m. at Bobby Dodd Stadium.

SportsCenter on Campus returns to Georgia Tech after previously visiting Tech’s campus in November 2024, when Barrie hosted a live edition of SportsCenter ahead of the Yellow Jackets’ 30-29 win over NC State.

Georgia Tech posted a 9-4 overall record (tied for the 10th-most victories in Tech’s 133-season football history) and No. 24 final national ranking in 2025. The Jackets rose to as high as No. 7 in the national rankings and were ranked in the final 14 national polls of the season, which was their longest streak since Tech was ranked in all 16 polls in 1999.

Georgia Tech also went 6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play in ‘25, which was good for a tie for second place in the 17-team conference. The Yellow Jackets are the only ACC team that has finished in the top four of the conference standings each of the last three seasons.
