Vanderbilt and Georgia Tech are set to meet in the 18th Birmingham Bowl on Friday, December 27 at 2:30PM at Protective Stadium.

Both teams pulled off 2024’s most notable upsets. 

Vandy defeated both Alabama and Auburn, while the Yellow Jackets finished 7-5 with a victory over the Miami Hurricanes, spoiling their playoff hopes.

The Ramblin’ Wreck also nearly pulled off a win against its in-state arch rival and SEC Champion Georgia in an eight overtime loss.
