Top Ten of the Last Ten, #6: 2008 @ georgia

Streaks are powerful things. Get one going and it gets into your opponents’ psyches. Get it going long enough and it almost becomes a part of you. And, of course, major college rivalries are often highlighted by streaks. Georgia Tech holds the longest winning streak in Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate: Bobby Dodd himself vanquished the Bulldogs from 1949-56. But Georgia has come close twice, winning seven in a row from 1991-1997, and again from 2001-2007. Not so coincidentally, the beginning of that second streak coincides with the arrival of Mark Richt in Athens, and in each of his first seven years he beat the Yellow Jackets like clockwork.
