The Bulldogs come into this matchup as the No. 1 team in the nation, riding a 28-game winning streak. It will be the first of two consecutive games in Atlanta for the Bulldogs, as the team will face off with No. 8 Alabama in the SEC Championship at Mercedes Benz Stadium on Dec. 2.

Georgia Tech, on the other hand, is 6-5 this season and has defeated a couple of previously ranked opponents in Brent Key’s first full season as head coach.

The Yellow Jackets’ last victory over the Bulldogs was back in 2016. Georgia Tech has only defeated Georgia four times since 2000,

What’s on the line? A win would give Georgia its third straight undefeated regular season. Before the current stretch, UGA only have four perfect seasons. The seniors would also match last year’s class for a program record 49 wins.

For Tech, it would be another step in building a program in the first full season under Key. The Jackets are above .500 and will play in a bowl game for the first time since 2018.

Both sides will be playing for the Governor’s Cup. The winning seniors get a personalized engraved replica of the statue while those on the losing team get commemorative watches.
