Georgia Tech was selected to play in the Birmingham Bowl this post season and they are going to be facing Vanderbilt on December 27th. This has the makings of a
fun matchup, as both teams are similar in playstyle and have pulled big upsets this season. Vanderbilt started their year by knocking off Virginia Tech as a two touchdown underdog and then later beat Alabama, their first ever win over a No. 1 team. Brent Key's team also started the year by beating Florida State in Ireland and then later upsetting No. 4 Miami and keeping them out of the College Football Playoff.
Georgia Tech and Vanderbilt were conference-mates for 48 years – in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association , Southern Conference and Southeastern Conference . Their rivalry spawned a traveling trophy – a cow bell – that has been awarded to the winning team since 1924. Tech has had possession of the bell since its 13-0 win over Vandy in 1948
The bowl appearance is Georgia Tech’s 47th, which is tied for 15th all-time. The Yellow Jackets are 26-20 in bowl games, with the 26 victories tied for 11th all-time and the .565 winning percentage also ranking 11th among teams with a minimum of 15 bowl wins.
