Georgia Beats Georgia Tech 16-9 to Reach 11-1, Extend Rivalry Streak to Eight

The win strengthens Georgia's top-four CFP bid, with its SEC title-game berth hinging on other weekend results.

Overview

  • The Bulldogs won 16-9 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta in the 119th meeting, with Georgia Tech designated as the host team.
  • Georgia’s defense sealed the one-score result by batting down a last-second Hail Mary after leading 13-3 at halftime.
  • Georgia improves to 11-1 and remains positioned for a top-four College Football Playoff seed and a potential first-round bye.
  • An SEC championship appearance requires either Texas A&M losing to Texas or Alabama losing to Auburn, according to the latest scenarios.
  • Georgia Tech falls to 9-3, dropping out of realistic CFP contention and needing Virginia to lose to Virginia Tech and SMU to lose to Cal to keep an ACC title shot alive.
