65 Georgia (about 61% wins all time)
41 Georgia Tech (about 39% wins all time)
5 ties all time so 111 games all time

44.83% || 26 Georgia wins
46.55% || 27 Georgia Tech wins
08.62% || 5 ties
1964 - 1982 :: Georgia owns Georgia Tech / IND
78.95% || 15 Georgia wins
21.05% || 4 Georgia Tech wins
1983 - 2016 :: Georgia owns Georgia Tech / ACC
71.43% || 25 Georgia wins

I don't really know what the SEC and the ACC have to do with it.
Georgia Tech was a national football program. Bobby Dodd got pissed at Bryant and the league, overestimated his and Tech's national appeal, bolted, and Tech has never recovered from a football (or overall athletic department) standpoint.
It's not like they were losing to Georgia but setting the ACC on fire for the last 30 years.

Seems like Georgia can't handle in conference competition.
Nothing has changed in over 100 years.

Crazy that Tech has a more recent natty than UGA

With the Holgerson talk of going to 9 games and the Tater talk about how the ACC and the Taters are better than sliced bread, just thought it would be interesting to see how Georgia Tech fared after leaving the SEC and using their annual game with Georgia as a base mark.
If Georgia Tech was better as an IND or the ACC was better than the SEC, then Georgia Tech should have dominated Georgia once they left the SEC, yet the exact opposite happened. So when a person from the B12 opens his yap, he needs to shut it. When a Tater comes on tRant and says how Clemson would beat all the SEC teams as a SEC member, they are clearly not correct.

Except, I'm guessing if you compared win %s against Georgia to win %s against the ACC equivalent of the Big 6 (Clemson, FSU, Miami, Virginia Tech, etc, depending on what year you start) that they'd be pretty similar.
Like I said, it's not like Tech is going 6-2/7-1 in the ACC everywhere and then getting hammered by Georgia. They have been pretty meh since they won the title in 1990, and they were awful almost every single year from about 1975 to 1989.

Then post the Clemson - USC stats.

Yeah, it's not. At all. But keep the weird history lessons coming, Grand Poobah.

Georgia Tech from 1967 to 1989 (post-Bobby Dodd) (23 seasons)
- 116-132 (47%)
- 5 Bowl Games
- finished ranked in the Top 25 2 times in 23 years
They were a disaster

Georgia Tech had a legendary coach, he retires and they have a bunch of unsuccessful coaches. Most programs in the SEC have had similar histories. Am I missing something here?
Anybody ever hear of Notre Dame, Arkansas, Tennessee, .......

Doesn't fit the narrative. Move along, please.

Georgia Tech is much more comparative to Ole Miss than any of those schools. Nationally competitive until roughly integration, their big coach retires, national relevance never returns (outside of 1 random season in 1990).

Tech had 3 legendary coaches in the SEC, each won a Natty
John Heisman = MNC in 1917, HoF in 1954
William Alexander = MNC in 1928, HoF in 1951
Bobby Dodd = MNC in 1952, HoF in 1993
In the ACC they won a split MNC in 1990 (because CU got "5th down")
Bobby Ross is not in the HoF but has numerous coaching awards

You're absolutely right; these programs are on exactly the same level and path right now. It took 13 years to "ramp up"? Lol. Pretty random timeframes you've chosen.
Are y'all in "ramp down" phase now?

Tech sold their soul to the devil when they left the SEC. The coach at the time got tired of playing Alabama. Makes you wonder what could've been for them

Oh, it's interesting alright
For fun, do we wanna do GA Tech vs Clemson over that same time period???

Couple of points:
1 - every UGA - Tech game was played in Atlanta prior to 1929 (UGA had no stadium). Not sure how much of a factor crowd noise was in those days, but still. No home games over the fist 30+ years of the rivalry may have counted for something.
2 - why not just cut to the chase and do UGA vs Clemson? Seems a more direct path, IMO.
