Georgia Tech is an urban school that maintains high academic standards and runs the triple option. They're not a relevant program and don't appear they ever will be again. This is basically like the UT-Vandy rivalry right? Time for UGa fans to stop touting this permanent OOC rival as anything significant.

Nope. Tech is a whipping boy but they are still fun to beat

I consider UF and Auburn to be more legit, but it varies across the board. There's literally no way we stop playing GT, so it doesn't leave us much room for other big OOC opponents.

I think people underestimate GT because UGA beats the shite out of them all the time. They've been a top-25ish program forever

Visit Athens on a day Tech beats them there (rare, I know). It's poisonous. It is so much worse than if they lost to some shite school like ULL.

They went 9-4 two straight seasons in the SEC. They would likely do better in the ACC. Just one game better in the regular season matches GT's record from that year.

Do you really think any Vandy team ever beats State like Tech did last year?

Well they didn't play under Franklin but In 2012 they beat Ole Miss who destroyed MSU. In 2013 they beat UGA and UF.
Literally yall lost to Vandy and beat GT in 2013.

We've seen what happens when Alabama plays a triple option team.

Georgia Tech is still a better OOC opponent than most on the schedule in the SEC

Yes, we destroyed Charleston Southern this year.

When Bama RUNS the triple option, they put together the greatest decade in cfb history

None of these results apply to the teams that played in the Orange Bowl. Tech in 2013 was average. An average GT team being worse than Vandy's best team ever isn't really an indictment of Tech's program.
