With these two teams meeting up in Week 7 of the College Football Season, Duke and Georgia Tech will still have to go to battle in their Week 6 games before they can start thinking about each other.

Currently at 3-1 on the season, the Blue Devils will host the Pittsburgh Panthers at 8:00pm EST before moving onto the Yellow Jackets, as Duke continues to stack its wins and reach another bowl game.

Georgia Tech will host the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday at 4:00pm EST after the Tar Heels’ near upset of the then No. 1 ranked Clemson Tigers.

The Yellow Jackets are 1-3 on the season, with the lone win coming against the University of South Florida.

Under new head coach Geoff Collins, Georgia Tech has lost to Clemson, The Citadel, and Temple this season. Last week, the Yellow Jackets were only able to score two points in a loss to the Temple Owls.

It’s very conceivable that heading into this game the Duke Blue Devils will be 4-1, while the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will be 1-4.
