It was a close call on Saturday, but No. 15 Georgia Tech found a way to keep its CFP and ACC Championship hopes alive by overcoming a 28-17 4th quarter deficit

Last year, Georgia overcame a 17-0 halftime deficit to beat Georgia Tech 44-42 in eight overtimes in Athens. Last year's defeat left a bitter taste in Georgia Tech's mouth and they'll look to beat Georgia in Atlanta for the first time since 1999 on Black Friday.

The Yellow Jackets are one of three teams from the ACC inside the rankings. Virginia was at No. 19 and Miami was at No. 13.

Georgia nabbed the fourth and final projected first-round bye in the College Football Playoff rankings, while undefeated Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M held onto the top three positions.

FRECKLED AND BROAD-CHESTED, with fading white-blond hair and a robust mustache, "in first-rate health" from years of navigating the austere conditions of the desert Southwest, Dr. Leonard Wood rode in, quite literally, to save the day for Georgia Tech football.
