Looking ahead to the Georgia Tech vs. Vanderbilt bowl matchup here is how to watch, a preview, and also a prediction for the Yellow Jackets  and Commodores.

Georgia Tech has a record of 7-5 for the season. They began with a strong start of 3-1, suffering their only defeat against Syracuse. Following this, they lost to Louisville but secured victories over Duke and UNC. However, they faced setbacks against Notre Dame and Virginia Tech before achieving an upset against the fourth-ranked Miami team. They managed to secure a win against NC State but ultimately fell to Georgia in a dramatic eight-overtime match. In contrast, Vanderbilt holds a 6-6 record this season. They started with a perfect 3-0 but encountered two narrow losses to Georgia State and Missouri. Vanderbilt then achieved an upset against Alabama, leading to three consecutive wins. Nevertheless, their performance declined towards the end of the season, finishing with a 1-4 record in their last five games, which included close losses to Texas and LSU.

This marks the 39th encounter between the two institutions. Georgia Tech has achieved six consecutive victories over Vanderbilt and has not suffered a defeat against them since 1941. The most recent matchup resulted in a 38-7 triumph for Georgia Tech in 2016. College football enthusiasts seeking an SEC versus ACC showdown should prepare to watch an exciting bowl game.
