# 2024 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team

The 2024 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology as a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) during the 2024 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Yellow Jackets were led by Brent Key in his second full year as Georgia Tech's head coach. They played their home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium located in Atlanta, Georgia.
Georgia Tech was coming off its first winning season and bowl game since 2018. They have the 6th-hardest schedule in the country, according to 247 Sports.
The Yellow Jackets began the season against Florida State at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland with an upset win. After a 2–0 start, the Yellow Jackets earned their first AP Poll ranking since 2015. This was their second appearance in the Aer Lingus College Football Classic, after previously defeating Boston College in 2016.
By upsetting the undefeated, No. 4-ranked Miami Hurricanes on November 9, Georgia Tech snapped a 13-game losing streak to top-five opponents and became bowl-eligible. It was the Yellow Jackets' highest-ranked win since a victory over No. 4 Virginia Tech in 2009.
In the emotional regular-season finale against longtime rival Georgia, the Yellow Jackets led 17–0 at halftime, but lost 44–42 after eight overtimes. The game was only one overtime short of the record, behind a nine-overtime victory by Illinois over Penn State in 2021. The Yellow Jackets ended the season with a controversial but decisive loss to Vanderbilt in the 2024 Birmingham Bowl, finishing the season 7-6. Despite the disappointing end to the season, Georgia Tech finished with its first consecutive winning seasons since 2013-2014.
