After dropping out of both polls following its loss to Miami last Saturday, Georgia Tech re-appeared Sunday. Following their upset of No. 5 Clemson Saturday night, the Yellow Jackets were ranked No. 22 in the Associated Press writers poll and No. 23 in the USA Today coaches poll.
By dropping their first game of the season, the Tigers fell from No. 6 to No. 11 in the AP poll and from No. 6 to No. 12 in the coaches poll. Virginia Tech, which Tech will play next in two Thursdays at Bobby Dodd Stadium is No. 12 in the writers poll and No. 11 in the coaches poll.

Grady, don’t care. Do remember a few beatings that GA took in Athens from Tech. It’s past, this is 2011 and we will have to play the game.

Why would a Grady Alum like UGA? You just missing that Old Plantation feeling that Only UGA can provide the AA students and athletes?

Bet Auburn wouldn’t call the ACC that since they got cleaned out. Of course, you’all hate Auburn after last year’s game.

I guess Too Bad changed his screen name to Grady Alum, it’s amazing what UGA fans will do on a Tech blog and they insist that Tech is irrelevant to them.

I think I’ll wait and see the game. Can’t believe you said it would be a good game since all Tech has is a high school offense.

Im a ga fan, but gt is so much better then us. They have all the history and the national championships. True we are the little brother in this state, but hopefully we can pull off the upset this year. Go dawgs!!

it will be a good game. I have watched Tech Improve a lot under CPJ. I am actually glad to see that you guys will be competitive with UGA. It’s quite boring to watch you get blown out.

Hey Engineers:
How’s the All Cupcake Conference’s record in BCS games? Your conference is a joke and what’s so bad you have not won your conference in the BCS era. I suppose that makes you irrelevant!

UGA’s offense was better when Richt was calling the plays. Bobo sucks at calling plays, just like he sucked at QB.

Pickle Tile, didn’t know you asked me a question. Do you also take credit for Alabama, Auburn, LSU and FL NC’s? Just like UGA to do that.

Maybe they should turn over the playcalling to Grady Alum…..Sweep right with stolen airconditioner under your arm. Blast up the middle with crack rock in your back pocket……If play loses yardage just blame “THE MAN”.

they need to stop running up the middle. They do crap like that against tech, Tech will win.

I can’t wait for the Ga Tech- Virginia Tech Game…they are ranked higher than us and we will have momentum at Bobby Dodd! if we lose, acc championship is gone, a win and were in the acc championship game! GO TECH!!
I hope Paul Johnson comes out with tevin firing the football, our passing game looked good last night, if we could throw the ball and then catch them off guard every so often, they won’t stop us!

One game at a time. Hope both are 9-2 and Tech wins . Meanwhile Stafford finally beat Tebow.
Of course I hope that idiot defensive tackle for the Lions got his bell rung.
