As expected, Georgia Tech remains atop the ACC standings after Week 12. What wasn’t expected, however, was how close the Yellow Jackets came to losing their lead in the conference during their game against Boston College on Saturday.

No. 14 Georgia Tech averted a catastrophe when placekicker Aidan Birr’s 23-yard field goal attempt sailed through the uprights with 11 seconds remaining to give the Yellow Jackets a 36-34 victory over BC on Saturday night at Alumni Stadium.

The Yellow Jackets entered the bye week on a sour note, fresh off their first loss of the season to N.C. State. A top-10 ranked Georgia Tech team slid to No. 16 in the AP Top 25 and No. 17 in the initial College Football Playoff rankings released on Nov. 4. The CFP committee placed Virginia at No. 14 and Louisville at No. 15.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The Boston College Eagles (1-10, 0-7 ACC) football team fell short of the upset win against the No. 16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1 ACC) 36-34 inside Alumni Stadium on Saturday night.

No. 5 Georgia's convincing win over 10th-ranked Texas pushes the Longhorns out of the picture this week and sets up a first-round bye possibility for the Bulldogs. Georgia's won six straight games and would have an opportunity at defending its SEC title in Atlanta if Alabama loses to Auburn or Texas beats Texas A&M on Nov. 28.
