The stakes always seem to be high when Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech play. The winner of this matchup has claimed the ACC's Coastal Division title nine times in the past 13 seasons.
Both teams have been eliminated from division title contention this season, but a new urgency has found its way into the matchup.
For the first time in 15 meetings, the Hokies and Yellow Jackets are coming off losses entering their matchup. They could each use a win to get their seasons back on track.
Virginia Tech (7-2, 3-2 ACC) -- ranked No. 17 in the CFP rankings this week -- saw its division title hopes go up in flames with a 28-10 loss to unbeaten Miami on Saturday.
