Rankings from AP Poll

The 2023 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference during the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Yellow Jackets were led by Brent Key in his first full year as Georgia Tech's head coach. They played their home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta.

The season is notable for upsets of North Carolina and Miami, both of which were ranked 17th at the time of the game. In a back-and-forth shootout, Georgia Tech scored 22 points in the final 13 minutes to defeat the Tarheels 46-42. The North Carolina game was ranked as one of the 25 best games of the season by ESPN's Bill Connelly.[1]

The Miami game was marked by Miami's decision to run the ball instead of taking a knee in the final 40 seconds, leading to a fumble recovered by Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech went on to drive 74 yards in four plays, and score a touchdown with 2 seconds on the clock to upset the previously undefeated Hurricanes.

Georgia Tech would finish fourth in the ACC. The Yellow Jackets ended the season with a win over UCF in the Gasparilla Bowl, their first bowl game and first winning record since 2018.

## Schedule

[edit]

Georgia Tech and the ACC announced the 2023 football schedule on January 30, 2023.[4][5] The 2023 season will be the conference's first season since 2004, that its scheduling format just includes one division. The new format sets Georgia Tech with three set conference opponents, while playing the remaining ten teams twice (home and away) in a four–year cycle. The Yellow Jackets three set conference opponents for the next four years are: Clemson, Louisville, and Wake Forest.[6][7] As such, this is the first season since 1932 that the Yellow Jackets didn't play rival Duke.
