Georgia Tech Climbs to No. 7 in the AP Poll After Win Over Duke

Georgia Tech continues to make history this season. The Yellow Jackets have climbed to No. 7 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, moving up from No. 12 after their 27-18 win over Duke. It’s the program’s highest ranking in decades, since 2009. Another sign that this team is on of college football’s best strories.

Saturday’s game showed once again why the Jackets have become such a tough opponent. After a slow first half, Georgia Tech came out strong after the break, finding rhythm on both sides of the ball. The defense forced key stops, while the offense delivered when it mattered most. The balanced second half effort sealed the victory and extended Tech’s unbeaten start to the year.

With the win, Georgia Tech improved to 7-0 for the first time since 1966. Head Coach Brent Key’s team has shown steady improvement each week, mixing discipline, confidence, and resilience. The energy around the program is higher than ever, and fans are taking notice.

Moving into the top 10 marks a major milestone, but the Jackets aren’t satisfied. Players have emphasized that the job isn’t done and that each week brings a new challenge. Still, this latest ranking proves Georgia Tech has earned its place among college football’s elite.

As the season continues, the buzz in Atlanta keeps growing, and so do the Yellow Jackets’ College Football Playoff hopes.
