CFP Rankings 12/2: Georgia Tech 22nd

In the final regular season rankings of the 2025 college football season, the College Football Playoff placed Georgia Tech 22nd, moving up one spot after losing to #3 Georgia last weekend. Tech is essentially guaranteed to be ranked going into their bowl game (which will be announced on Sunday) as they do not play another game until then. Of note, the two of the three teams ranked directly behind Tech: North Texas (23rd) and James Madison (25th), both play conference championship games this weekend and could shuffle some more. Iowa (24th) is the only other team not playing this week in the Georgia Tech thru James Madison section of the rankings.

Tech of course has no shot to make the playoff any longer as they are not playing the ACC Championship game.

Our potential bowl game does still depend on what happens this weekend. If Duke beats Virginia, that would likely put Miami and Virginia ahead of Tech in the bowl pecking order. Most projections have Tech in the Pop-Tarts Bowl right now, but that assumes Virginia as the ACC champion and playing in the playoffs.
