The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets celebrated their 7-6 season with rings. We would say championship rings, but we aren’t exactly sure what the Yellow Jackets won.
In 2024, Georgia Tech went 7-6 including 5-3 in ACC play (tied for fourth in the conference). The Yellow Jackets lost to the Vanderbilt Commodores in the Birmingham Bowl and did not really have a major accomplishment outside of upsetting the No. 4 Miami Hurricanes, which is acknowledged on the ring. The ring also celebrates Georgia Tech’s 24-21 season-opening win over the No. 10 Florida State Seminoles, which sounds impressive until you realize that Florida State went 2-10 and had just one win over a Power Four opponent all season.
Perhaps Georgia Tech’s biggest accomplishment in 2024 came in the form of a loss. The Yellow Jackets took the Georgia Bulldogs, who went on to win the SEC championship and make the College Football Playoff (something Georgia Tech has never done), to eight overtimes before losing 44-42 in heartbreaking fashion. The Bulldogs have now won seven straight games over Georgia Tech.
The Yellow Jackets’ rings celebrate going 5-0 at home. Georgia Tech’s home schedule included only three Power Four opponents, which was among the lowest among major programs.
Yes, Georgia Tech’s 2024 season appeared to be another step in the right direction for head coach Brent Key and company, but a 7-6 season for a program that has won three national championships does not deserve rings.
