ATLANTA, Ga. – The Georgia Tech yellow Jackets football team rose in both major national polls on Sunday afternoon,following a 45-24 victory over Temple on Saturday. Tech is now ranked No. 16 in the Associated Press poll and No. 17 in the US LBM coaches poll.
The two-spot increase comes as Georgia Tech achieves a 4-0 start to the season – a feat not accomplished since 2014 and only the fourth time in the last 55 seasons.
