Georgia football’s matchup against Georgia Tech carries enormous significance for several reasons. A victory could secure the Bulldogs’ spot in the College Football Playoff while maintaining their momentum heading into next weekend’s SEC Championship game.
Additionally, a win would mark Georgia’s seventh consecutive victory over the Yellow Jackets, just one short of Georgia Tech’s record streak of eight wins in the rivalry from 1949 to 1956.
However, there’s another major milestone at stake. If Georgia beats the Yellow Jackets on Friday night, they would tie a significant record in program history.
Most consecutive wins in SEC history
Currently, Georgia boasts an impressive 30-game home win streak, tied with Florida for the second-longest in SEC history.
The Bulldogs are just one victory away from matching Alabama’s record of 31 straight home wins, set between 2015 and 2019. A win over Georgia Tech would tie this historic mark, leaving Georgia one step closer to claiming the record outright.
There’s even a possibility Georgia could set the record this season. If the Bulldogs win the SEC Championship next weekend, they would secure a top-four seed and a first-round bye in the College Football Playoff (CFP).
However, if they lose the SEC title game, there’s a chance they could host a first-round CFP matchup at Sanford Stadium—a scenario that would offer the Bulldogs an opportunity to make history on their home turf.
If Georgia doesn’t get a chance to break the record this season, it’s likely they’ll achieve it early next year. Their 2025 season opener is a home game against Marshall, a matchup that should be a straightforward win for Kirby Smart’s team. Given this outlook, the Bulldogs would do well to defeat Georgia Tech, win the SEC Championship, and focus on setting the record to kick off next season.
