Tech Rises in Penultimate CFP Rankings

THE FLATS – Following the conclusion of Georgia Tech’s best regular season in 11 years, the College Football Playoff selection committee slotted the Yellow Jackets at No. 22 in its penultimate rankings of the 2025 season.

Georgia Tech closed the regular season at 9-3 overall and 6-2 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The 9-3 regular season was the Yellow Jackets’ best since 2014 and only the 16th nine-win regular season in the program’s 133-year history. The Jackets’ 6-2 conference record was good for a tie for second in the final ACC standings and was also Tech’s best finish since ’14. Georgia Tech is the only team that has finished in the top four of the ACC each of the last three seasons.

The Yellow Jackets’ No. 22 ranking is up one spot from last week. The Jackets have been in each of the CFP’s first five rankings of the 2025 season. Should Tech be included when the final CFP rankings are released on Sunday, it will mark the first time in the 12-season history of the playoff that the Jackets were included in each of the selection committee’s weekly rankings. Tech was ranked for 6-of-7 weeks during the CFP’s inaugural season in 2014.

Georgia Tech will learn its postseason destination when bowl selections are announced on Sunday.
