Tech awaits spot in CFP rankings out Tuesday

Georgia Tech will learn its updated College Football Playoff ranking Tuesday night. The Yellow Jackets were ranked No. 16 last Tuesday and will move up after their 30-24 overtime win over Georgia.

If the CFP selection committee places the Jackets in the top 10, it would be their highest ranking since they were slotted No. 9 following their ACC title-game win over Clemson in 2009. The positioning will be important as it may determine what, if any chance, Tech has of somehow sneaking into the CFP four-team playoff if the Jackets can upset Florida State Saturday in the ACC title game Saturday in Charlotte, N.C.
